Oh snap, a friend of mine ran this in Standard back in the day!
It's Lava Spike not Lava Dart.
I had these three in a cube, but I think nobody ever drafted them together
EDIT: and the obvious Dampen Thought

All right I’ve got another one.
Guess the card based on the hints!
Four are real, four are red herrings.

Monstrosaur is charging, the other badger, charging badger is a functional reprint of defiant elf, phenax is in the same set. The other 4 are red herrings.
Correct! You even made all of the correct connections!!

Sweet, this one is fun, but I'll use a harder card 
4 are real hints. 4 are red herrings.
The Hair-Strung Koto doesn't have anything to do with anything.

There are 5 cards set on Ikoria, so one of them must be a real clue. This means that the card is almost certainly from Ikoria. Also, there are 5 creatures, which implies to me that the card is a creature as well.
The Slayer is an interesting card that you have access to from the start of the game, implying to me that we're looking for a companion, a creature you start the game with. This narrowed my guess to one of the companions.
4 of them are R/W, and 3 of them have cycling, an activated ability. Zirda is the R/W companion and it reduces the cost of activated abilities--such as cycling--by
. Ergo, I think it's Zirda.I could just be wrong, though. Notably, there are 4 enchantments, but enchantments are a) not creatures on Ikoria and b) not a big thing on Ikoria.

A good guess, but nope. You are right that it is a creature, and one or more of the iko cards have to be a real clue. Again, this one will be a bit hard
Let’s try:
I feel like Floodtide Serpent is too random to not be a hint, and three of the other cards have cycling. I think The Hero is actually a red herring to try and get us thinking in terms of companions, with the enchantments being here to hint at umori, the collector and the cycling deck stuff pointing to Zirda.

?It's a 1/1 for
(like Flourishing Fox). It has lifelink (like, effectively, Zenith Flare). You can only activate it when your life total is 7 higher than your starting life total (hence the The Slayer hint). Finally, it makes 4/4 tokens (the same size as Floodtide Serpent). Red herrings: Doomwake Titan, Drannith Stinger, Titan's Nest, and Unpredictable Cyclone.You are right about one thing, but not this cardLet’s try:
Man, I am so sorry, but no.Is it...
The card is not a bunch of hoops, once you realize the card you will kick yourself for not realizing it sooner. Many casual players have this card since the set was popular.Nah, this card is nowhere close to as iconic
The real kicker of this card is figuring out the red herrings.

Going for the simpler is a good approach, but no. Watch out for the red herrings. The card perfectly encapsulates all four of the cards. And tastes like french vanilla.That doesn’t narrow it down at all
Is it simplythen?
EDIT: oops, maybe I shouldn't have revealed the french vanilla part, I can get it pretty easily now

Goes in a serpent deck.
If this isn't it I have no idea what you're angling for.
