Why are peashooters red? They don't seem very chaotic to me, since you place them in an orderly fashion and they shoot in a straight line to defend you from being killed.
It's good for all the reasons listed above, but if you want a card that has a similar function with less variance, I would suggest testing Twisted Image. You need a creature to cast it (but in standard not having creatures is rare) and it reduces the uncertainty while casting because you know its immediate effect, compared to Thought Scour, which gains you an unknown (if any) advantage.
To write with careful style is the essence of the thing.
Poems are fun stories that you're supposed to sing.
You can break stories up with no specific timing,
But personally I prefer the ones with chosen structured rhyming.
Without such imagery a poem is closer to just prose,
Though I'm probably just a scrub, we can't all be Edgar Allen Poes.
Nonetheless, I will persist
In my elementary school way
Sorry if that makes you pissed,
But I still wish you a good day.
And lo, we slip the bonds of earth
Terrestial chains of mediocrity
We ascend upward into the heavens
Beyond the realm of possibility
Free sky above, snow plains below
Our metal bird glinting in the sun
How unimportant our cares seem!
In the face of winged travel
Our livelihoods are just a speck
But please resume your seats
We have a bumpy ride in store
A mere blip in our joyous sailing
With the dirt our ocean's shore
Uber iambic pentameter
Rhyming every line
Sweet synedoche read
To a sing songey time
Smiling youths and eager ears
Famous lines recounted for years
Earning endless laughs and praise
For this both old and new word craze
Blockbuster sales all across the nation
Well this is awkward. I can't think of one good thing to say about this one. Any advice?
Not that I'm very good at this, but one technique a better alterer friend of mine showed me was to paint over the art. What you might want to do is paint over and change the outer swirl of the card and then continue that throughout the border. This makes the card alter look more organic as a whole. Other than that you might want to try flicking (or even try smearing the paint?) along with a more thin brush to get that sort of fuzzy effect.
I would actually argue for taking dream twist here. I think milling is actually viable in Innistrad draft (note: this is one of the very few formats I think its reasonable in.) You can also wheel the Sensory Deprivation that is pretty good in the mill deck. You don't really lose out on a whole lot either by trying this sort of wacky thing.
If you replace the word "counterspell" with "dredge card" you can see how ridiculous this argument is. It isn't fun when one deck (for example, mono-blue control) is miles better than the rest. Magic is still skill intensive no matter what deck you are playing.
And i wanted to take a shot at the done-a-million-times Vampire Hex Mage / Dark depth interaction
Who the heck makes a Vampire hex proxy?:D
These are really sweet. The style on these is cool, and in particular I think that the vampire hexmage one looks so epic. I might have to copy this and try it myself!

Alas, alas...
If only poets could garner such exultation!

Good luck!

At least in my opinion.
Yeah this card is sweet. Probably will see play in a ton of formats, standard, edh, etc.
Ashe, Amumu, Corki, TF and Alistar are all some of the best champs in the game.
Morde isn't even a good champion! Look at all the tier lists - no cc, no team utility, doesn't really fulfill a role well...
Just sayin'.
Here's an article about how to tweak the deck on a $20 budget. Maybe what you're looking for.
