Seriously, what other class of deck is gonna pay :symw::symw::symw:? How often was Jareth, Leonine Titan played outside of monowhite decks. And this card is easily as good as Dawn Elemental
EDIT: I know, I'm comparing it to rares. But with those abilites, it should be a rare, or cost something like :4mana::symw::symw::symw:, and then it won't be playable at all
Klyth, in hitting creatures, should give a supertype called Plague. Word as follows
Whenever Klyth, the Foul Plague deals damage to a creature, it gains the Plague supertype.
Whenever Klyth deals damage, put a +1/+1 counter on it.
At the beginning of each player's upkeep, that player loses 1 life for each +1/+1 counter o Klyth. All Plague creatures that player controls get -1/-1 for each +1/+1 counter on Klyth.
I like frenzied strike.
Braindribble is pure red if new school, and pure black as old school
As for Worthy Sacrifice: Sacrifice a creature: Prevent all damage to you from one source.
Now it works like a charm!
[Shadowninja1] and [Shadowninja2] are pointless. take off their ninjutsu, and make them something like [ninjaenabler1] and [ninjaenabler2]
And shouldn't [ninja3] be called [Mindleech Ninja]? That is its flavor, after all. I love it.
Either make the [dimir ninja] smaller, or make the mill bigger. For a nice suprise effect, 3 cards isn't nearly enough. Compare with Raven Guild Master for good mill numbers.
Why are the normal ninjas hurting you? Ninjas are loyal. Damn bastard ninjas

Target creature's power and toughness becomes equal to the number of Forests you control until end of turn.
Renewable Salve should say
"Target player gains 3 life. Shuffle your library. If CARDNAME is countered, shuffle your library"
Doesn't it go to the graveyard from the stack upon resolution, or on being countered?
Shadow washed golem is fine
Do you want spaced germination to mimic old cantrips? Cause those triggered at the begining of next turn's upkeep, not your next turn's upkeep

I'm honestly suprised that more people haven't come down in favor of Surge of Strength. Just look at Blazing Shoal. Adding is essentially giving a temporary Primal Frenzy. I don't think its possible to argue that this is out of flavor for R/G, especially considering that they are the pure beats, ignore anything but damage guild. Although they might get some artifact destruction, they won't get anything on the scale of hull breach...maybe Rack and Ruin as a mult....
Grave Consequences affects more than the golgari. It'll give dimir a way to push for death from damage, especially against reanimation (okay, golgari) decks. And who knows, maybe it'll have something to do with the B/W guild too
You need a "any player can play this ability" on the 2nd part of Mental Agony.
Enchantments don't tap as a rule of thumb, so Mind Maze should be an artifact.
Leeches 2 is fun
Time Double-This may make it overpowered, but how about paying 2U now and 2U when that turn starts? I think it captures the 'double' aspect much better
Sacrifice Punisher-Cost it more, or make the effect 1 life. Or take away the discard part (make a discard punisher)

Balance-8/10 I think this card runs the risk of being a touch too quick. On one hand, it can’t choose which creatue’s power to copy. On the other hand, turn 3 or 4 creature kill that’s infallible in red isn’t that great of an idea. At least you can prevent direct damage. Also, copying a big creature, and then just not bothering to provoke anything, or letting burn take care of the rest….
F/C/Q-9/10 I honestly would have changed it to ‘you may change’ instead of a mandatory change. The idea is very cool though, and the flavor text is nice. However, the idea fits a little more in blue than red. Not too bad

T, Remove the top card of your library from the game: Choose a colored mana symbol in that card's mana cost. Until the end of turn, all colored mana symbols on cards in your hand and library become the chosen colored mana symbol until end of turn. (For example, if the card's mana cost is :1mana::symg::symb: , a card's casting cost of :1mana:;symb::symu: becomes either :1mana::symg::symg or :1mana::symb::symb:)
Bonus 4/5-all or none on the mana symbols, and last time I checked there is a icon
Balance 9/10 No power problems here. It makes rainbow decks more accessible, but for a card a turn. This shouldn’t be that big of a problem, besides major library manipulation, which there is a lot of. Other than that, its fine
F/C/Q-8/10-It’s a cool idea and all, but I just can’t get behind the concept. Sure changing mana symbols has been done, but never as an artifact, and never for anything besides white. Artifacts don’t really override things, white does. Had this been white, it would have been perfect. Also, the ‘…and library’ part is a little unnecessary.
