Shuffler of Scrolls
Creature
: Search your sideboard for a Scroll Sorcery and play it. (You must pay its mana cost.)
0/1

Example Scroll
Sorcery - Scroll
Does something.

They can have any mana cost, including 0 although would then need then to be very weak.
Can be played individually or left in a sideboard, probably with other scrolls.

Produce some scrolls.

Not sure I understand...are these just sorceries that have the option of being played from the sideboard if you have the right creature out?

Yes.

Whats not clear about it?

I've used the one unusual feature of having a Sorcery type, but the syntax is just the same as "Creature - Cat Cleric" or "Enchantment - Aura".

All of the workings for this is part of the creatures activated ability.

:
Means that the ability can be activated for free. Although you often must pay mana as part of the ability.

Why not just : Search your sideboard for a scroll card and put it into your hand? Unless you need to keep the power down or that would negatively effect your plan for scrolls it seems worth it for simplicity's sake.

Since having 15 extra cards to play at the cost of 2 mana is super powerful the "scrolls" would have to be underpowered. I think something like this

Void Scroll
Sorcery - Scroll
Remove target player's graveyard from the game.

Growth Scroll
Sorcery - Scroll
Target creature gets +3+3 until the end of the turn

Burn Scroll
Sorcery - Scroll
Deal 3 damage to target creature or player.

Anyway, you get the idea these scrolls would have to be nearly unplayable to balance the fact that "shuffler of scrolls" costs 2 mana to cast and 0 to activate.
Don't be too smart to have fun

I prefer the current for flavor, but it's not set in stone, ty TPmanW.

I agree morticianjohn, but I don't mind that. Nice scrolls :-) Although maybe it should be more along the lines of exile all cards from target graveyard, looks a bit like the graveyard itself is being removed at the moment. :P

Some scrolls could perhaps be stronger when cast alone. Some could interact with the Shuffler of Scrolls as well when cast be him, could be interesting.
