Card Name: Brago's Legacy
Cost: 
Type: Artifact
Text: Pay 
, - Remove X permanents you own from the game. Return these permanents to the battlefield at the beginning of the next end step. Permanents entering the battlefield in this way do not cause abilities to trigger.
Picture would be a book almost all the way open with white light radiating from the pages with the upper torso, arms, and shoulders of the personing opening the book standing facing us. The person's body would be half vanishing sort of like when Gokku goes super saiyan to represent the phasing out/vanishing of himself and all the permanents.
This allows you to pay for all of your lands but say 4, cast Armageddon, and have 4 lands while everyone else has none. It also allows you to blink as many creatures as you can afford to and then cast Supreme Verdict. Very but the "permanents entering the battlefield this way do not cause abilities to trigger" clause stops you having too much of an advantage.
IF Tamiyo has her journal why can't Brago have his legacy. His legacy obviously is all explained in the book and which teaches you his most powerful magic! GENIUS!
