Something that will probably go into naermagia:

Lord of Doors
manacost
Creature - Something Wizard
At the beginning of your upkeep, return each card exiled by ~ to their owner's hand, then exile a card from your hand facedown.
Whenever an opponent casts a spell, he or she guesses the name of a card exiled by ~. You may turn that card face up. If you do and they guessed wrong, exile that spell face down, then that player plays the exiled card.
In the hands of a master, every door leads to every room.
2/2

Red or blue? There's probably better wording too.

If they guessed WRONG? But...so this is how it would work?:

You exile a Counterspell. I cast Distress and guess Redirect. You flip it, it's wrong, so now I can cast Counterspell and you exile Distress.

Am I right so far? I think that part makes sense. Here's what I don't understand...

Let's say now, the next player WANTS the Distress. He already knows that's the exiled card, so can he now just guess some random card (like Sharding Sphinx) to play Distress for free instead of whatever spell he was playing originally?

That seems way too abusable.
All cards I make have artists credited in the appropriate places. Artist names in "quotes" are DeviantArt usernames unless otherwise mentioned.

So, I cast a spell, guess wrong, cast the other spell, intentionally guess wrong, cast the previous spell, guess right, profit?

Yes, and? My scenario still applies in a game with more than 2 players.

All cards I make have artists credited in the appropriate places. Artist names in "quotes" are DeviantArt usernames unless otherwise mentioned.

Then mission accompished.

So let me think. You exile X, they play Y, you don't want them to have Y, so you give them X instead. Next turn they get back Y.

This card is actually kinda terrible, unless you keep drawing land to give them, you're wasting cards to delay them. Hrmmmmm. Maybe change it to random cards or something, and let everyone do it. I dunno...

blue.
spell morphing is blue : )
This can used as as an alternate memory lapse of some sort. And you can almost always counters a spell a turn, for the cost of 1 card. I think it is too strong.
