Okay... red and blue demons make it to the very fringes of my imagination. But if you make white and green ones, I will relentlessly laugh you out of town.
No offense.

Phantasmal Denizen 1U
*** Here he comes again.. A very funky guy.
Dreams of the Infinate U
*** Hm... Seems ok. Dunno deathly one-turn combos with a card most for reanimation and flashback.
Gzlixix's Whim U
*** This one's not: Lets repeat: UU1 Draw 6 cards, discard 4 cards. Too good, especially as the second part can be played always.
Void Elemental UUU
*** This is not common, maybe not even uncommon! as good as temporal adept for his zero activation cost.
Null and Void U
*** Flashback cost is too cheap, the spell itself should cost at least U1 if it had flashback.
Mind Bomb U
*** welcome the dark!
Arcane Siphon U
*** Uh-oh. Far too strong for common, compare to Rhystic study. If it affects all players it should cost something like UU2 or UU3. combo masterpiece.
Gzlixix Syphocant U
*** This guy is very annoying, especially in large groups with a wizard mentor. Compared to Force Spike it does too much. should cost more.
Wave of Repulsion 1U
*** good bye opponents army. This is common? But control decks don't play many spells a turn, so the card COULD be balanced.
Sphere of Illusion U
*** *gasp* Counter a single-creature based spell or ability and draw 2 cards for U? Think of inspiration and make it cost something like UU2.
Awesome Presence U
*** Fair deal.
Gzlixix's Divinations U
*** Common restricted demonic tutor for U? at least remove the cantrip part and make it socery. but the idea's good.
Waves of Immobilization 2U
*** Bad Idea. Card draw and tap in one spell? "Storm. Tap target Creature. Draw a card, this effect isn't copied by storm."
Electro-static Ire 3U
*** damage is red, not blue. card draw is blue. make this uncommon and cost UR2. nuff to say for flashback. or like above, but in red.
Visions of the Collective U
*** improved Ancestral recall with flashback? where's my double-cantrip black lotus?
Dimensional Flux UU
*** a tricky card. Play this and sac to remove a creature from the game. The CU is too high.
Paradox Dreamer UU
*** ok.
Paradox Visionary UU
*** both are worse than their nemesis counterparts, both ok.
Dimensional Lurker U
*** An improved imaginary pet (normally this effect is rare). could be blasting, drawback's ok.
Aura of Dominance 3U
*** ok.
Thought Gyser X3U
*** Thought G e ysir. NOT UNCOMMON. price is ok (compare i.e. to dregs of sorrow)
Thought Siphon U
*** Hmm... This is strange. in average 1,5 cards. maybe better U1.
Gzlixix's Spite 2UU
*** ok. funny. until i read the flashback part. flashback should at least cost 1 or 2 more if this spell ever has earned flashback.
Expatriating Fluctuation 1U
*** *g*. Cool against combo decks. this can also be common.
Recycle U
*** name already exists. you can use one of the existing spells like transmute artifact.
Gzlixix's Visions U
*** Blue Tutor on Steroids. critical mass factor. Should cost at least 2 more as an instant and 1 more as a socery.
Cosmic Revalations 3UU
*** Disadvantage is hard enough for your force of will.
Psionic Storm 1U
*** *gasp*, no not at 2, not 2 cards!
Equivocation U
*** renamed reprint, ok.
Reverse Incantation 3U
*** too expensive, Offical rulings is "Redirect target spell that targets a creature you control to another target creature"
What about this? "Redirect target spell or ability targeting a creature to another target creature"
Can make up for very funny effects and makes the cost reasonable.
Gzlixix Phyrexian Demon 2UU
*** This guy is just insane!
Thought Lash 2UU
*** *g*. I don't understand the "not paying CU-part" (if you can discard you draw phase, it makes maybe sense), but somehow this spell is funny. correct wording would be:"CU: remove the top card from your library from the game or remove your library from the game"
Illusionary Reality UU
*** ok.
Quantum Distortion 3U
*** Heavily misworded. Does it mean my opponent gets my creatures. Or just"switch control of all creatures". The creatures should gain haste, the cost improved at least by 2 or 3 (it is an improved evacuation!)
Gzlixix's Demise 2UU
*** Too powerful. interesting drawback.
Honestly, your decks needs more creatures. What about at least some flies or blue fighters. they aren't good, but fighters are essentially for a color in each set. also you could have made fewer instants and maybe some real board control cards (not necessarily good ones, just because blue has them).
| By Xion on Thursday, October 30, 2003 - 06:34 am: |
Quantum Distortion maes you exchange control of creatures with your opponent. How is Visions of the Collective an improved Ancestral Recall?
Blue would probably be supported with artifacts in my set.

Gzlixix Phyrexian Demon 2UU
Creature- Demon/Legend (rare)
UU,Tap: counter target non-creature spell, draw 3 cards.
Remove two blue cards in your hand from the game: re-direct the target of an instant or sorvery targeting a creature you control.
2/2
You know, Ertai, Wizard Adept was another 2UU blue creature, only he was only a 1/1, and his counterspell ability was more expensive, AND that was all he had.
| By Cheese (Cheesemaster) on Thursday, October 30, 2003 - 06:55 am: |
Ertai was at 2U, but you're still right.
Visions of the Collective:
Play 2 spells a turn, STORM draw 3 cards (ok, restricted for yourself)
At U its not hard to play this after 2 other spells (or just after a counter in a control deck, I also like to draw 2 cards for U)
You can even draw more cards but ok, playing 4 spells a turn is very uncommon.
Oh, and add flashback to draw another three cards. The cards you've drawn before will surely hold enough spells to cast next turn.
Without flashback, it would just be a very,very good draw spell(good enough to include it in 95% of all my blue decks)
But WITH, I would name this one of the best blue card-drawers ever.
And I dare not to think of combo decks like academy with this spell....
Well, ok, its your set but I would still think that that spell would be in ANY of your set decks containing blue.

Play only after a spell is cast.
Draw cards equal to the converted mana cost of the spell that was just cast.
| By Cheese (Cheesemaster) on Friday, October 31, 2003 - 01:38 am: |
You have made Visions of the Collective even better. Now it reads U: "Look at the top 6 cards of your library and put 2 into your hand" (I have rethought, an average storm means only one copy)
But...
Now am I also able to pick my draw out of the cards and not simply just draw then!
I think the idea of the card is good, but you must be more careful with the casting cost of storm spells.
