Wow, thanks for the win! I really liked that card and forgot all about rarity.
I would like people to randomly open a book and flip to a random section. Pick a phrase or sentence and use it for inspiration. It can be as literal or figurative as you want. Please post the selected words. Here's an example:
"...The Jade Market and the Temple Street Night Market boast fortune tellers and occult oddities..."
Night Market Land
Night Market enters the Battlefield tapped. t: add B to your mana pool. t: put a non-creature artifact from your hand with converted mana cost 3 or less onto the battlefield. The Night Market promises rare and exotic goods.
From "Physics for Scientists and Engineers" by Randall A Knight:"In addition, the atoms would continuously lose energy as they radiated electromagnetic waves. As figure 38.23 shows, the would cause the electrons to spiral into the nucleus!"
Huh.

Sorceries you own have flash.
You can only cast an instant when you could cast a sorcery.
"Now look, that's just wrong-Rutherford, Izzet Guildmage"
(The quote comes from a section on the failing of classical mechanics in extreme physics. In this case, it is discussing Rutherford's model of the atom, which as the quote details, involves extremely unstable atoms.)

At the beginning of your next upkeep, search your library for two lands and put them into play.
Landfall - If you had a land enter the battlefield under your control this turn, Search your library for a land card and put it into play tapped as well.

Forced Perspective2WUR
Enchantment (R)
Whenever a player casts a spell that has multiple targets, any other player may pay x, where X is the converted mana cost of that spell and choose new targets for that spell.
Whenever a creature is blocked, any player may discard a card to remove the blocking creature from combat. The attacking creature is now unblocked.
*Not sure about the "unblocked" wording. Might try to clean it up before judging.*
"Here only miracles. Here, only the rising of spirit. And yes, love if it was pertinent (which it was so often); and sometimes bloodletting. But never the prosaic, never the trivial. Here the man who brought the strangest tale was the most welcome. Here every excess was celebrated if it brought visions, and every vision analyzed for the hints it held to the nature of the Everlasting." - Clive Barker's Imajica

Check out the thread for my cube if you have the time, and tell me how terrible it is.
Generals meant to be drafted first in a single pack of 6 cards.
And here is the actual cube, meant to be drafted in 4 regular sized packs. (60 card decks)

IIW:
Design a mono-blue instant (this includes kicker alts costs etc.) that doesn't draw card(s) (or put card(s) into your hand) bounce permanent(s), mill cards, or counter spell(s) (or exile them etc.) Basically make an interesting blue instant that doesn't do the most basic things that blue can do.

I'm sorry, I don't have time to Rubric judge. I truly give everyone an A+! I thought everyone showed creativity and worked with their quotes well. I'll give some comments and show a winner at the end.
Shinen This card fits the concept perfectly. It has a Nimbus Maze quality to it that is appealing. It is like a puzzle!
Oculus Beautiful and elegant! Simple and lovely.
MDenham Nice interpretation of the text. Reminds me of classic White cards like Karma.
Rimeshade I have always thought this was one of the main weaknesses of the Human condition. Art created from loss or absence is much more powerful than happy art and it was difficult for me to accept because I am a joyful person.
Red Death 01 This card is poetic and very powerful! I like that white has been seeing a tiny bit more land acceleration lately Weathered Wayfarer and the like. White never had that kind of stuff (Green didn't have Naturalize either, mind you. we had to play white just to have Disenchant).
John Fury Zacharias (Who awesomely shares a birthday with me and Lennon) I like the implications of this card. I wasn't sure if the new targets were in addition to the regular targets or replaced. I have always been a fan of cards that play with the reality of the game.
One Winged Angel This card could be annoying, but also fun. I wish it wasn't so obvious. I used to play against a guy that kept his Counterspells face out in his hand. It always seemed pretentious.
Asrama I love UG and the flavor of this was nice. I just wish it was better than Primal Cocoon. It is Blue, so maybe it would be cooler if it had Shroud to protect the sleeping creature!
Sebas9854 This card is neat, I just want better wording than 'Un-do'. Like what if the other player played spells during your turn, do they go away too?
PonchoPonce Fun Weenie shenanigans and worked nicely with your quote!
Doom Lich I love how you were able to tie it into the Zendikar theme as wellas the text you found.A great addition to any ally deck and it is an ally!
Thanks for all the great entries! I feel like you guys really put a lot of effort out for my challenge.

Enchantment Imprint - When ~ is turned face up, you may exile a permanent from your hand.

Morph UUU What would I like to have today...
It's a pretty cool idea, but I don't think there's much more that can be done than what already exists. I'm trying to figure out how to have a face-down instant which, when morphed, actually casts itself. I'm not 100% on how to do this and it would necessitate a rules change.
