Definitely it shouldn't exist for a cheap mana cost. (anyway, you've got more votes than me with it :p)
@Antny: Hmm, it's too good. Also, exiling face down is too awkward for such small benefit (not giving information to your opponents.) It starts a turn earlier than Arc Lightning/FLames of the FIrebrand, and is repeatable...
I had originally considered making it more but Peek looks at their hand for U and cantrips and Memoricide and other extraction effects get to look and do something for 4 mana... Maybe cost it UU? Or 1U? The effect is certainly powerful but the card effectively doesn't DO anything.

+1: Draw three cards.
0: Return any number of target creatures to their owner's hand.
-2: Do something broken.
-99: Target opponent quits Magic for life.

Is there any particular reason Shadow Totem didn't go over as well as Light Totem or Wind Totem? I can't easily do links right now or I would.
Without even looking at your cards I can tell you that cycles tend to do worse in the DCC as each of them get shown. The first one is normally the strongest and the second one will get some votes but then people get bored of it, even if it is good design.
I'd be up for trying it next month. Normally I do a month on, month off because I run out of fresh designs. Having a small guide would keep me in the contest every month. Just something like "Make a Red Creature"
I agree BlackBlull (as the card you reference is mine). I know I have been the one who has showcased on multiple occasions that undercosted, spike cards are the ones that sell. That said, I think it's because Spike cards are the most difficult to design. For example, yesterday I submitted a fun casual red fatty and I got 0 votes. Was the card good design? I believe so. Was it difficult to design? Not even a little bit.
Perhaps we could do something like a DCC challenge where each day there is some minor parameter that needs to be fulfilled so that cards can be properly evaluated?

That might be fine, though 2WR for an indestructable 8/8, and two 3/1 flying Ball Lightnings might be too good.
I designed a White and Black "ling" a couple of months ago and got next to no votes too. I think it's because the design is just SO predictable.
