I just had a idea for a card that is a permanent version of anyone famous monocolored spell, like a living fog. That card could also care about monocolored, so to take the living fog as an example: A green creature for like four green mana with 1/4 which has: "As long as you control three or more forests, creatures your opponents control, deal no damage to you in combat phase."
Had an idea for a legendary Un-creature called "Captain Obvious" that is relatively normal, but the text box is filled with obvious statements about itself much like the full text land secret lair. It could read something along the lines of:
"Due to this card being silver bordered, it is not legal in any sanctioned formats. Also, due to the nature of the supertype 'legendary,' if another permanent enters the battlefield under your control with the same name as this one, you must choose one to sacrifice. Additionally, the supertype creature grants this permanent the ability to attack, block, as well as having a power, toughness, and summoning sickness. If this creature's toughness would be reduced to zero or less, put it into your graveyard. Furthermore, I'm honestly impressed you are still reading this, although that was less obvious. You may cast this spell by spending mana in your mana pool during your main phase while the stack is empty and you have priority..."
Your idea for Captain Obvious fits perfectly within the wacky and self-referential world of Un-sets! Here's a refined version of the card, balancing humor and playability while maintaining the "obvious" theme:
Captain Obvious
{2}{W}{U} Legendary Creature — Human Advisor Silver-bordered
Text Box: "This card is silver-bordered, so it's not legal in any sanctioned formats. As a legendary creature, you can’t control two with the same name without sacrificing one. Being a creature, it can attack and block. It has power and toughness. If it has summoning sickness, it can’t attack. If its toughness is reduced to zero, it dies. You may cast this during your main phase if the stack is empty. You need mana to cast it.
Also, you’re still reading this. Impressive. Honestly, it’s just reminding you of what you already know."
3/4
Flavor Text: "I just state the obvious. It's a living."
Design Notes:
Mana Cost & Colors: A mix of white and blue fits the advisory, rule-following nature of Captain Obvious.
Stats: Balanced as a 3/4 for 4 mana, strong but not overpowering.
Text Box Length: Long enough to be humorous but not overly dense.
Silver-Bordered Fun: Emphasizes the absurdity of stating every basic rule, fitting with Un-set humor.

Design Notes:
Nice, but I'd honestly make it only 3 mana since there are plenty of 3 mana 3/4s not only with no downside, but with upside.
Also you could possibly add 'protection from non-wordy' or something.
