What do you guys think? I basically made a double-sided, colorshifted Rubinia.
The last ability may need a draw back because 1 mana can turn a 1/1 elf token into a 9/9 elf token.
"Flying
When Iris, the Lost enters the battlefield, target creature's controller sacrifices it. He or she puts a white 1/1 Poltergeist spirit token with "At the beginning of your upkeep, Poltergeist deals 1 damage to you" onto the battlefield."
They are based around screwing your opponents over and also being really hard to get rid of.

I felt that Plague and Hunger should be the strongest for obvious reasons but what do you guys think?
I like it. Lots of variety. Could you look at my 4? I really want to know others think. The're supposed to be really powerful by the way.
-Hunger is pretty powerful, with a bit twisted on the color pie, but that's okay. The thing that makes it not op is that with a CMC of 8, chances are it will not be featured in limited, legacy, vintage, or modern tournament, since those "search library" cards are better with Emrakul. It can be in limited, because an 8 CMC hard cast is a lot. Therefore, as this card might only exist in casual (maybe standard), and though it looks good, it isn't all that powerful.
-It is pretty much the same with all those cards. They aren't as powerful, and with cards at 8 CMC that still involve lands or triggered abilities... I mean come on man. By the time you reach 8 lands, no one cares about those triggered abilities anymore. It's late game, and either your opponent is losing or their creatures are too strong. 8CMC triggered abilities that are to weak for tutoring and placing on battlefield, but too expensive for hard casting is not powerful enough to be deemed worthy. It might be okay in limited or a standard set without super-tanks, but otherwise, I can't see these cards in tournament.
As an advice to you, everyone, and also me (since I make the same mistakes), always look at your cards from a point of view of constructive gameplay.
I'm just kidding. On the contrary, I think they could be very powerful in a black ramp deck, like demons since they are expensive anyway. Throw Crypt Ghast or Magus of the Coffers in, maybe Caged Sun or Gauntlet of Might, and you could have one of these guys turn 6, if you are lucky.

This is a card I just made using my Soul Fluctuation mechanic. I think it's really cool and I wish I had one of these to put into my life gain deck
@MrRansom Yep, this would combo really well I think, alongside with lifelink or just life gain spells in combination with opportunities to exile this guy for a little while to really put some life on the stock again. It's basically a walking Greed.
In Standard, this could easily be used in Aggro, and the chances of getting a good instant or sorcery would be highly likely. So, standard could work well too.
In modern tournament, Aggro is less common, though it can still be used. By that time in Modern, Lightning Oracle is already too OP, as you have probably already seen those high mana instants that nobody plays. But lightning oracle + Aggro could make it give huge boosts, and lightning oracle + Astral Slide + High Mana Instants in Legacy could also work.
In other words, I believe Lighning Oracle should only be allowed in Standard or Limited, but that is still my opinion. I've only been playing since Theros, so I don't know that much. I could be wrong.
Other than that, it has a minor templating error here:
"Discard a card: Crabguard gets +0/+X until end of..."
The word 'of' bleeds out of the text box. When making cards in the future, you could try previewing the design and checking for things like that. If you find some, just click the space before the word and hit ENTER to drop it down to the next line instead of letting exceed the perimeter of the text box.
Translation:
Name = XY
Mana Cost = It says {10}, but in Binary, {10} means {2}
Subtype = Untranslateable
+4 = Gain 1 life
-3 = Gain 3 life
-20 = Gain 100 life
Loyalty = It says {10}, but in Binary, {10} means {2}
I saw @Corwinnn confused on this card! xD
