Maybe you'll see this in time to swap but I'm @Arbitraryarmor you totally just remade Screams from Within! Unless penumbra works differently than I imagine.

Enchantment — Aura [U]
Enchant creature
Enchanted creature gets -1/-1. Penumbra — When enchanted creature dies, you may return this aura from your graveyard to the battlefield attached to target creature.
All in all screams could use some improvement, I wonder how much difference that 1 colourless would make!
i imagine that, like with breaking/entering, the second half shouldn't target if you want them to work together
yo, this is strictly better than a basic land, that's just not right
Well not really, it isn't one of those cards, it has their type. It can't be found with a basic land search and it can still be targeted as a non basic land, same as a bloodcrypt can. I do think it's too good, but I like cards that are rare instances of better than basic. I think we've reached that point in magic, we already see it a tonne with legendary ones and that is hardly a drawback hon.
But yeah, people competing in these dailies seem to play it fast and loose with power level, especially when it comes to lands. I think it's a place to showcase cute flashy ideas more than elegant or tempered design.
Today's review. If it seems broken in a browser, please tell me.
I changed 'Balance' for 'Fit'. A balanced card could exist in many levels of powers, so 'Fit' encompasses problems with balance, color pie, rules, or gameplay.

Searching a library is cumberstone, this is too cheap, and it being uncommon, would take valuable time out of many games.

White? Opposite mechanicaly, though I guess it could be explained by flavor. I think exalted is a better implementation.

I think it's too good. It's not too hard to get +1 card each turn.

I think 1d6 could be done, but it'd require like a whole set for it to be introduced.

I love it. "Each player may tap or untap each creature he or she controls" would read better.

Also solid. "You may cast a copy of a card encoded on a creature you control." would read better.

A 3/3 for 1BB should only have a marginal ability in rare, not a very powerful one.

This would be very strong with auras and pump nowadays, everything is very efficient. But we haven't had this in constructed in a while, so I'm increasing fit from 7 to 8.
I'd love to see more of these!
For the record mine was made to add some more good cards and depth to white decks and dumb aggressive decks. Most of all BW decks that want sacrificial fodder. It is probably a little strong but I made it mainly with cube in mind. I'm not sure having an additional 1cc guy is all that insane. We've seen a lot of weenies that give you an additional lame dork.
Woah some really zany ones already! Probably one of the biggest combo enablers I've ever seen and a or guy that usually makes all your creatures unblockable. Lots of stuff I've never thought of!
