Today's Challenge: Blue exile a creature and give something in return

.::To Enter::.

• Make a card that fits the current challenge.

• Include an "If I Win" (IIW) for tomorrow's challenge if you win.

King Macar, the Gold-Hoarder GW
Legendary Creature - Human Noble (Rare)
T: Target opponent chooses a nonland permanent you control other than King Macar, the Gold-Hoarder and you choose a nonland permanent they control. Exile both of them, then you and that player creates a treasure token.
1/1

IIW: Alternative universe Magic.

Thalia, avenger of thraben.

Legendary Creature - Human Soldier (R)

Fear

Non-Creature spells cost 2 more life to be cast

Keeping Thraben safe took a tool on Thalia, for every life she couldn't save, some of her own soul was lost.

P.S : Is this effect even right? I know there is effects worded like kambal, but I wanted life to be extra cost like Guardian of Thraben.

Azor, Savage Judge 3RRR
Legendary Creature - Sphinx Barbarian (M)
Flying, menace
Whenever Azor, Savage Judge attacks, you may pay 2RR. If you do, target creature defending player controls fights another target creature.
Whenever a creature you control fights and wins, exile the top card of your library. Until the end of your next turn, you may play that card. (A creature wins a fight if only the other creature dies from the fight.)
Driven mad by Jace's decree, freed from his fate by the fall of the Living Guildpact, Azor stalks Ixalan, passing terrible judgements upon the weak.
6/6

B, sacrifice a creature, {t}: add B equal to the power of the sacrificed creature.
2/3

IIW: graft

void_nothing, netn10 (although I think it's overpowered - protects itself better than Mother of Runes and nearly as impactful for other creatures)

Mavinda, Advocate of the Past 1RR
Legendary Creature - Bird Advisor (R)
Flying, Haste
T: Copy target instant or sorcery spell cast from a graveyard. You may choose new targets for the copy.
2/2
"I will never stop protecting the memory of the true Strixhaven from those who betrayed it."

Omnath, Locus of Freezing 2U
Legendary Creature - Elemental (Mythic)

1/1

Feldon, Research Leader 2WU
Legendary Creature - Human Artificer (M)
T: Add C for each artifact in your graveyard. Spend this mana only to cast artifact spells.
Whenever another creature you control deals combat damage to a player, you may cast an artifact card from your graveyard. (You still pay its costs.)
Once he was able to say goodbye to his beloved Loran, Feldon's maddened seclusion ended.
2/4

I believe if you want to keep the payment in the cost, you would have to word it:
Noncreature spells have "As an additional cost to cast this spell, pay 2 life."

When Time Paradox enters the battlefield, exile target creature. Its controller gains control of Time Paradox.
2: Time Paradox becomes a copy of target creature you control until end of turn.
