Modular Monstrosity
Oracle Text
Whenever an opponent casts a spell, you have five seconds to choose a keyword you haven't chosen for a card named Modular Monstrosity today that's been printed on a creature card. If you do, Modular Monstrosity gains that ability. Otherwise, Modular Monstrosity loses all keyword abilities.
Card Rulings
1/19/2018 You may choose any keyword ability that appears on any printed Magic creature card. You can’t pick keyword actions like explore or scry. If the keyword has a modifier, such as a mana cost or a number, you must choose a modifier that’s been printed. Sorry, “annihilator 500” fans.
1/19/2018 Each keyword can be chosen only once on any given day. And that counts every Modular Monstrosity you play with that day. You also can’t reuse a keyword with a new modifier. For example, if you choose protection from Demons and from Dragons (totally counts), you can’t choose protection from red later that day. Protection has already been used.
1/19/2018 If you make an invalid choice, you can still make a valid choice as long as time hasn’t expired.
1/19/2018 If you haven’t made a valid choice after five seconds, Modular Monstrosity loses all keyword abilities, including ones its picked up in other ways.

Posted Nov 21, 2017I don't look forward to repeatedly telling people this at a limited event until I start getting called the "no-fun" guy. Breaking this is trivial if you are allowed to pick different versions of the same ability (islandwalk! plainswalk! legendary landwalk! bands with other dinosaurs!; you'll never actually fail to name something). Without that challenge the card is too easy, and thus unfun for your opponent.
The concept is fun, though.
