Tri-Color Instant or Sorcery Head to Head Tournament
I love the challenges on this website! All kinds of uniqueness. I do notice that the challenges are creature heavy (nothing wrong with that) I wanted to do a different twist. For this challenge players will post an instant or sorcery card that either cost 3 colors to cast or gives benefits for using up to 3 colors.
Rules
1. Must in some way incorporate 3 colors.
2. Must be an instant or sorcery
3. Must be realistically playable in the current standard environment
4. If Artist credit is available please give them credit (Or at least a portion of the url)
5. Be creative (I want my mind to be blown)
6. Only one submission per user.
The last day to enter the tournament will be 5/18/15. After this we will create a head to head tournament with single elimination rounds until only one card is left standing. If needed for the first round I may put 3 or 4 cards in one match up.
This is my example card.

If you are unsure if your card meats the rules fell free to post it. I will let you know if it's not what I am looking for, and you will be allowed a re-submission.

Nice card, just a quick question on the mechanic wording you say " If you do, it becomes those colors and deals an additional 5 damage to that creature" Does it in this context mean your card "Enraged by Betrayl" or to the permanent you control that was dealt damage? Just making sure I understand it right.

Nice card, nice art
i'm using the strategy mechanic that someone (i'm not sure who) used. I really like it, and i hope i'm allowed to use it, unnamed person.. Thanks!
You can ignore my previous entry.
"it becomes those colors" in this context means the spell "Enraged by Betrayl" (which now that I look at it is spelled wrong, whoops) becomes those colors. That statement continues, "and deals an additional 5 damage to that creature" means the spell "Enraged by Betrayl" deals additional damage to the creature it's targeting.
It's black and red because the spell is like "Hey, why are you attacking you b-hole" and throws fire at the creature. Its white and red because the spell is like "Hey, you hurt me/my friends, thats not fair" and throws flames of justice at the creature.
I have another example of the Vengeance mechanic, although the wording is not as good as "Enraged by Betrayl"

@NicolBolasFTW : I was intentionally vague when I said "Must in some way incorporate 3 colors" Your entry (The second card) is entered and is interesting.
@Wolf : In my personal experience the mana symbols you used normally indicate that you can tap for that color or pay 2 life is the intention you had here?
@fraziel07@ : Nice card, nice art.
Side note: If I am counting right we have 7 entries already!!!! Keep the momentum going let others know. In a couple of days I will post an entry list of all cards so far.

This will be a four round tournament. Seed #1 will face #14 seed number 2 will face # 13 etc... Due to the odd number of entries seed 15, 16, and 17 will all face off in the same match, the winner will advance. For each match up I will grade the cards and determine who wins. I will give my critical view on each matchup. My arguments are final but, fell free to comment back to my critiques. I will post my comments on the first match up in a few minutes.
