Spell ExchangeUU
Instant U
Counter target spell. Its controller reveals their hand and you choose a spell from it. Its controller may cast that spell without paying its mana cost. "Not that one, but maybe another..." -- Tiss, Abjurer Adept
the following entries meet the stringent criteria levied by my challenge: Equivalent Exchange by bloodyspasm, Power Surge by winterspring, Mind Swap by Rudyard, Scivorth the Spawnling by Stapler, and High Alchemy by Megiddo.
The first cut is Mind Swap, not having rarity, not having cantrip, and seemingly not having an combo implications whatsoever. So it gets fifth.
The second cut is Power Surge. It just says draw your graveyard. Even at 4bb, that's too good. Sometimes that costs 5ggg. But in black? I mean, it's been done. Yawg Will isn't something I'd like to reprint. Power is tautology. So it gets fourth.
The third cut is Scivorth, despite being a spawnling (a seemingly-redundant word, king of like a gigantic giant), he just doesn't do it for me. It's not a 5/5, and it just doesn't seem to be worth the investment. Also, its life switch doesn't seem to be life gain. Why am I paying mana to lose life? Because I play rock and that makes me bad at Magic? Guess not. But there might be combo implications, so it gets third.
So that leaves some sort of terrible Natural Order and some sort of terrible Polymorph. I have played both decks, and they were both awesome, but the terribleness of the new Natural Order seems terribler than the terribleness of the Polymorph, so I'm gonna give Megiddo the win. I mean, with scry and other awful magical christmas scenarios, this could be playable?
On the condition that Nic Cage leaves your banner for good. If, when Megiddo posts his challenge, Nic Cage still graces that banner, distorted or otherwise, I instead give the win to bloodyspasm.

Ooh, post it on your blog if you want to make it public. I'm interested.
It's not quite where I want it yet. It's a pretty consistent turn 5 win, but not resilient enough. I've been trying to find the right mix of disruption and combo to actually get there.
