I'd say duplication should be able to be played in mono gruul, but the rest seem pretty solid, and I know how hard it is to make weird cost cards...

Duplication is probably riffing off of Spitting Image  and Heat Shimmer  , but a   copy spell probably shouldn't be better than the Baseline  .

I think I'm okay with green having clones, its the natural progression, but red is just meh. Heat shimmer is temp, and adding green to make it permanent is like having a ur straight burn spell, it just doesn't need that other color.

Harsh Judgment   
Sorcery
Destroy all creatures.
A fine card, though stricly better than Day of Judgment  . Played for  feels a bit off to me, but philosophically it seems fine. I wouldn't call it a perfect hybrid, but a passable one.
Duplication   
Sorcery
Put a token onto the battlefield that's a copy of target creature.
As said above, I think this effect is better at 4 CMC.  isn't even worse than Clone since the extra play options allow for flexibility. I suppose red fits here enough given the existence of Splinter Twin  and Heat Shimmer , so it works in this capacity.
Ravenous Thallid 
Creature - Fungus
Lifelink
: Regenerate Ravenous Thallid.
3/1
This card isn't bad, just uninspired as part of the cycle. The first two cards are awfully elegant, which makes for a nice sequence. This just sticks out.
Drive Off
Sorcery
Creatures your opponents control can't block this turn.
Reduce this to  , maybe even . Compare it to Chaos  or Falter  or Ember Gale  . It's a nice enough card, and white works enough on it to not feel forced.
Slinking Basilisk
Creature - Basilisk
Flash, deathtouch
2/3
Sure. Better than the lifelink regenerator.

You can cut this part just fine.

Thanks for the critiques. While I admit that the cards aren't equally good in terms of design, it's tough to find abilities that only a particular can do by itself, but that another pair of colors can do together. For the one in particular, I wanted to avoid a reanimator spell since both white and green can do that individually.
