Why ever hardcast it then?

I was thinking of something that would be able to get blue cantrips and especially miracles. Like the instant speed tap top to draw terminus gets blown up because not only do they not get to draw terminus it gets discarded. The "except during the first draw during the draw phase" clause was there just so people couldn't get yata locked out of games. Then it would just be added to blue decks to slow the pace of the game down so they can stay in control even more.

So you don't die to a bolt. "Free" casting once takes you from 20 to 5.

Just to mess with the rules...

R
Instant
Switch target creature's power and toughness, then it gets +2/+0.
Draw a card if that creature's power is greater than 5.

It's powerlevel is below wasteland, tabernacle, port, cavern.. if this card was costed any higher it would be unplayable. Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth does its thing for free. And moon effects ( Blood Moon, Magus of the Moon ) typically cost 3. This costs 2b and a tap.. or 4 life and a tap. And it has the additional drawback of being legendary. I think it is perfectly balanced.

For the heck of it though, Yawgmoth doesn't blank the land type of the card originally. It adds swamp to whatever was there. This effect is a moon effect until eot. Semantics. I do agree with you and think it is balanced. If a black mage really wants to mana screw his opponent, 4 life and a land; 2 life, a black mana, and a land a turn; or two black mana and a land a turn seem like a decent investment.

This could've been the mox for kaladesh. Work with the additional casting cost (improvise) and a subtheme of tapping things for benefit could've benefited this.

You can't play more than one spell each turn.
You can't play Solitaire Mox if you already played a spell this turn.
T: add one mana of any color to your mana pool.

This is a design i often come back to. It's basically a card that convert a "spell drop" into a land drop. You can't drop multiple of it in one turn, and you can't go off with it the same turn you play it, nor develop your board at all, nor chain spells, in exchange for ramping your mana production.

Really like those, but the paradox needs a nerve. It would have been an infinite combo with quicksmith rebel. It also combos with flame fusillade in modern

In honor of Vizer of Remedies and repeated "minus 1."

U
Counter Counter
Instant
Counter target instant spell that has "counter" in its text. If counter counter counter would counter a spell named counter counter, put a counter counter counter counter counter on counter counter for each time counter counter counter would have countered counter counter this game instead, and counter counter gains, "Remove a counter counter counter counter from counter counter: counter target spell that has counter in its text.

Mox Paradox combos with a bajillion things. There's a reason why Wizards was so timid when they made the untap mechanic in Lowryn. Mark my words, next time they dip their creative toes into that well, we're going to catch fire.

Whenever an opponent activates an ability that isn't a mana ability, you may put a 1/1 Goblin token into play for each Goblin you control.

Turn 1: Island, Soothsaying, go
Turn 2: Mountain, Krenko Goblinmancer, infinite Goblins, go
Turn 3: win??

Maybe say "Whenever an opponent"
