Quicksand
-Land
Quicksand enters the battlefield tapped.
You may only play Quicksand on an opponent's turn, any time you could play an instant. You may not play Quicksand if a land entered the battlefield under your control during your last turn.
When Quicksand enters the battlefield, put the top five cards of your library into your graveyard, then exile all graveyards.
A land with flash is tricky, since even if it has no abilities, it's going to ramp you by being played on someone else's turn, unless there's a restriction on playing it after also playing your own land for turn. I gave this one Bojuka Bog's graveyard hate, made it symmetrical, and because it gives you the advantage of flash, made it mill five to negate that advantage.
Make a card based on a fictional character from your favorite book/TV show/movie.
