Card creation challenge
Custom Cards forum

Ok, heres how this works. You create a card to the specifications of the person above you, then list your own card idea for the next person. I'll start.
Variety XX
Sorcery
If X is 2 or lower, draw X cards. If X is 3, put X +1/+1 counters on X target creatures. If X is 4, return X target creatures from your graveyard to the battlefield. If X is 5 or more, Variety deals x damage to target creature or player. If X is 10 or more, you win the game.
Create a life gaining multicolored Turtle with power twice it's toughness or vice versa.
Bat-Phone 
Artifact - Equipment
Equipped creature has "
: Create a 2/2 red bird token."
Equip
Utility Belt
Yes, the mechanic I made was named following, but that's more of an indicator word like rally or ferocious rather than something like devotion. I would have preferred devotion, but that was already taken. The flavor is that the more creatures that share colors with the gods, the more powerful they are, since they rely on the devotion of mortals to keep their power. It's a bit more creature focused than devotion, but I think it would work.
