Bravo!

I think given the number of things that make having to put things on the bottom of your library be the drawback to an otherwise excellent spell, having an uncommon 1-drop that completely negates that as a drawback seems a little good to me.

1BB

Creature - Human Assassin

Other Assassin creatures you control get +1/+0.

1BB ~tap~ Destroy target tapped creature.

3BB ~tap~ Choose a creature type. Destroy all creatures of the chosen type.

2/2

Personal Comments: I've always thought white needed a limited land search spell which could also be a Savannah Lions, or Aether Vial, or anti-dredge artifact. I'd play it.

2 mana to go get a Tormod's Crypt, Pithing Needle, Any land, AEther vial, moxen, lotus, and put them into PLAY? Yeah I'd play it too.

Chester the Champion (Mythic Rare)
WGBRU
Creature - Mans best friend

When Chester the Champion comes into play, you gain unconditional love.

When Chester the Champion leaves play, Let the tears flow.

While Chester the Champion is in play, No creatures may attack and players may not deal/receive damage. Nobody can lose the game.

"I'm gonna miss you buddy..."

I like this guy a lot. The only thing I would change is have the second ability involve other assassins, sort of like Tradewind Rider or Gravespawn Sovereign. Perhaps something like:

Make it put the card to hand, or make it an instant and put on top of library and maybe. Why would you not run 4 of these in every deck ever in every legal format that has a sideboard?

---

I'm glad you think the card is powerful, but in standard, you'll be getting a land. In modern it's likely a land or sideboard target. In legacy it gets more interesting... death and taxes would want it, and it might actual start performing well. In vintage? No good vintage deck plays heavy white... Simple Wish might put bomberman back in contention, but it means you are playing white in vintage, not exactly a successful formula. You see if you are wishing for the Lotus or whatever, you are still paying 1W for it, and it isn't in your deck. (Aside -- why would wish out a Mox when you could get a dual land OR basic land that is either better or does the same thing?)

Yeah, it's "sky is falling"

Demonic Tutor is the same mana cost in a colour that gets more and better tutoring (Arguably -the- colour for tutors) and it's banned or restricted in every format it can be played AND you can only get cards that are already in your deck AND it puts the card in your hand where you then have to pay for it. So if you have that winning hate card in your SB too frigging bad.

And as "In standard it's land fetch"

Green is the land fetch colour. Lets see how green land fetch compares to 1W for any land of any kind directly into play untapped:

G gets you a basic land into hand, only into play if you killed something

G and Sac a land gets you any land into play

2G gets you one basic into play tapped, and one basic into hand

1G gets you a plains, island, mountain or swamp card into play tapped

Compare "1 Plains" to

"Any land, ever. Including all Dual Lands, Valakut, Kessing Wolf Run, Whatever. Tolarian Academy if you want

AND

Lotus, Moxes, Void for 0, Chrome Mox, Fastbond, Grafdigger's Cage, Land Tax, Mana Crypt, Mana Vault, Pithing Needle, Tormod's Crypt, Aether Vial, Dive Top, Skullclamp"

(All Knights gain +1/+1 and protection from thier own colours)

(No knight could raise a weapon against his brothers while his eyes beheld the Chalice)

I think knights need a bit more cohesive enhancements.

I love the idea of them in concept though they did not make for the best of decks for a long time.

BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKEN!

The problem here is if you grab a land then the spell only cost you one mana due to the land being placed into play untapped. This allows off color cards due it coming into play.

This card is all these things
Mana Ramp
Color Fixer
Tutor
15 cards in one

This one spell is really just 15 different cards. Just choosing the 15 would be the hard part

Bojuka Bod
Pithing Neeedle
Relic of Progentius
Engineered Explosives
Exploration
Burgeoning
Bazaar of Baghdad
Chalice of the Void
Mishra's Workshop
Mirri's Guile
Mana Bond
Cursed Scroll
Wasteland
Grindstone
Shield Sphere
Cursecatcher
Candelabra of Tawanos
Library of Alexandria
Lion's Eye Diamond
Maze of Ith
Mind Harness
Mana Crypt
Moxes
Black Lotus
Root Maze
Sensei's Divining Top
Phyrexian Dreadnaught
Planer Void
Zuran Orb
The TRI Lands
Countless Utility lands

And the beat goes on.....

Maybe give it a 2/2 body. And first strike.

(surruptiousness and simple wish) (note i think neither card is broken)

I think the question is, at what point does a spell transcend the limit of a rare and become a Mythic?

edit:

Land

Tap: Add 1 to your mana pool.

At the beginning of your pre-combat main phase, if Mishra's Abandoned Mine is in your graveyard, you may add 1 colorless mana to your mana pool.
