So the forecast is a sorcery speed, but uncounterable Return to Nature with buyback
? That seems really oppressive to artifact and enchantment decks, if you support those.

This spell has an interesting push-pull to it since you often don't want to use it as both a regrowth and a Return to Nature unless the game goes long and you can grind out value. Here's a couple cards that are comparable to help narrow down a cost:
to use the regrowth effect; if we go with 5 to forecast, it would come to 6 mana for 1 card, 11 mana for 2, etc. though over the course of multiple turns.
To bring it all back around, my suggestion with the design as proposed would be:
Grand Remembrance -
Sorcery
Return all cards exiled by cards named Grand Remembrance to their owner's hands.
Forecast —, reveal Grand Remembrance from your hand: Exile target artifact, enchantment, or card in a graveyard.
Agree with Onderzeeboot, so depending on your environment, looking at 4-5 mana for the forecast ability. Since the forecast is so expensive, you can probably make the casting cost justSo the forecast is a sorcery speed, but uncounterable Return to Nature with buyback

Wanted to share this little set symbol I made for some Halloween-themed cards!
Happy Pumpkin!

Yes. I don't know why the green background wouldn't be there... Perhaps try updating MSE?
I've done anything that's reasonable to think of, unfortunately.
Figured I'd ask because that symbol's clearly a little more complicated, so maybe you'd know.

Do you know if it's possible to make Lesson cards with Card Conjurer?
I want this but in better resolution

That was my next step, but I have a friend over and this was an idea I got in between playing, so I don't have time to think of something good yet

So kinda, but not quite.
You can get transform frames with the circle in the top left, but they don't seem to have the lesson symbol to put in there?

Yeah, that's how far I got as well. I sent an email, hopefully I'll get a reply

but they make piles and I choose to kill. What's a fair cost there?
We can see that changing from <they divide, you choose> to <you divide, they choose> adds a color and shifts up the rarity, but keeps the mana value equal. If we reverse engineer, we can see that changing Do or Die to <they divide, you choose> means we can lose a color and downshift in rarity, so this hypothetical card clearly should cost
and be an uncommon!Uh I love that logic
We can see that changing from <Enters the battlefield tapped> to <> subtracts two mana value and shifts down the rarity. If we reverse engineer, we can see that we should get a Masterpiece Mythic rare mana rock that costs that enters the battlefield untapped, taps for and with the additional card text “When CARDNAME enters the battlefield, add .
Spicy! @blacksmithy will love this

On a more serious note, I sent this:Yeah, that's how far I got as well. I sent an email, hopefully I'll get a reply
"First of all, thanks for the website! I've always created customs for my cube with Magic Set Editor, but your site produces notably sharper text!
There were two things I couldn't recreate in Card Conjurer. The first is two-color aftermath cards, in my case with a white top half, and a red aftermath spell on the bottom half of the card. I was able to solve this by creating two aftermath cards in Card Conjurer (a white one and a red one) and splicing the two halves together in Paint.net.
The other thing is more difficult to recreate, and it's custom Lessons, like those that appeared in Strixhaven. I can get pretty far by using the left half of a transform frame, but the problem is the Lesson icon in the top left corner. I think it should be possible to add this icon to the Transform Icons set? Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a high resolution version of the icon, and it's a lot harder to correctly splice together than my two color aftermath card. Do you have an idea how to handle this?"
And this morning I already got back a reply!
"Thanks for the feedback! I can definitely add features to solve both those problems. I’ll add a mask to make multicolored aftermath cards, and I’ll add the lesson icon to the group of transform icons. It may be a few days before I can make these changes, but it should be soon!"
Nice!

I have no idea where they got the high res Lesson icon from that quick, I couldn't find it online, but I'm pumped I'm super busy with D&D stuff this week, but...I'm definitely spending time on thinking of some cool Lessons next week
