This was for a community challenge on MTG.Design centered around Convoke. I wanted to go all-out and slap on other modes of payment, as well.
I'd put this in Battlebond 2 so that it makes sense with the Assist. You could also use it as an EDH negotiation piece.
"Hey, if you assist me in paying for this spell, I'll never send it your way."

Adding type "wurm" would be useful, besides, this is awesome, love it!

Kids these days with their 20/20s with no drawbacks... Back in my day you couldn't even get a 12/12 without sacrificing your board :)
Very fun card, as always! I'd be excited to pull this out of a pack.

So... You're telling me that, if my opponent shocked themselves with any shockland, this would be a kill with Calibrated Blast? Hmmmm...

Kazierts: Nice. As I read your comment, I remembered Morgue Burst exists.

Can another person delve or convoke to cover the assist, or can they only pay actual mana?
702.132a If the total cost to cast a spell with assist includes a generic mana component, before you activate mana abilities while casting it, you may choose another player. That player has a chance to activate mana abilities. Once that player chooses not to activate any more mana abilities, you have a chance to activate mana abilities. Before you begin to pay the total cost of the spell, the player you chose may pay for any amount of the generic mana in the spell’s total cost. [emphasis added]
Neither delve nor convoke appear to be mana abilities; they don't actually generate mana. So I would say the assistant can only pay actual mana.
Still, this is an awesome card. I want a dozen.

If I tap 3 creatures and exile 5 cards from my graveyard, that's 8 total mana I paid. Convoke can pay for or . Let's assume all was paid toward the .
Assist would be able to pay up to the balance of remaining.

I had to update the Assist from to . Should be fixed here shortly after the site updates and corrects everything. That's the nice thing about MTG.Design; You can make live edits and it'll refresh anything tied to that link.
