Astral Slide is creatures only.
I know Wotc can literally do no right on the source, but jeez guys, calm down. Isn't there a statement on YMTC that they may indeed use or adapt your designs? like if you didn't think it would be awesome to have your card or something like it printed, then why the hell would you join the contest? Just for the indignant OMG WOTC STOLE MY DESIGNS!!!!!!11 They totally don't just make 1000 cards a year by themselves but this one thing is a crime against gaming!
Chalice of the Void is Gary Wise's submitted invitational card (with a different casting cost). He was super stoked that they decided to print it any way despite not winning or having his picture on it.
Ancient Tomb+Lotus Petal+Show and Tell+Omniscience+Demonic Pact+Donate+Worst Fear = Turn 1 WIN!!!
Skybind, I think, does the job better, but that's still borderline unplayable.
EDIT: never mind, it has the nonenchantment clause. Still, it's sort of amusing to have a bizarre BW Slide variant with Demonic Pact.
Knight of the White Orchid - WW
Human Knight
First strike
When Knight of the White Orchid enters the battlefield, if an opponent controls more lands than you, you may search your library for a Plains card, put it onto the battlefield, then shuffle your library.
I like that it can fetch non-basic plains.

Glowrider just turned into a flying horse.
In fairness, Astral Slide should work with Opalescence, though I'm not certain that it's worth the 3-card combo to not insta-win. How much fun is it to Slide out a Parallax Wave with five abilities on the stack, though?!
4*Thalia
4*Horse
Win the war?
Unlike Glowrider, this is actually playable since it doesn't suck completely in combat thanks to evasion.
It's also notable that you can stack the tax effect because it isn't legendary, unlike Thalia. :3: or higher taxes isn't that impossible now.
Shut up, woman, get on my horse:

Is this actually playable? Glowrider sucks dicks, but this having flying is really relevant:
- block Delver
- avoid TNN as well as Goyf, Tasigur, every single elf ever printed, Pyromancer tokens and monastery tokens.
The 3 mana is a big deal because it won't always come down before SnT. I think it will see marginal play.
