I like the idea of U&T and I think magicians is an obvious choice for a similar effect outside of the priest theme (but with the magician/demon twist of utilizing bottom of deck).
Astonished Attention was a card that originated with a verse and is my attempt at starting a sub-theme for magicians about artifacts. I added the magician restriction because otherwise it seemed too powerful for the current magician splash-type defenses.

Will always love more support for Magicians. One thing I might add is to give Secret Arts the ability to look at the top 3 as well. It gives the card a bit more utility outside of gaining knowledge of a gamestate that rarely changes, and also has precedence from other Magician related cards such as Egyptian Magicians, Astrologers, and Divination.

Both of them are awesome. I agree with MKC about Secret Arts. You could also make it look at the top/bottom X, where X is the number of your Magicians, but it's also fine the way it is.

These are some of the coolest ideas I've seen anyone post for card ideas. I'd love to see these hit print. They could add some power to a theme with out altering every deck in the game.

Thanks for the comments! I updated Secret Arts to allow looking at top or bottom and to look at a number of cards equal to your magicians (thanks MKC and ProfAlstad!).

I personally like the idea of just going with 3 top or bottom instead of X. It's tough to have a defense that needs to be put in play to work. This is especially true with no protection from discard for magicians.

That's a good point. Perhaps I'll make an Artifact that gives them territory protection (to go along with the Artifact theme I'm trying to make). Thanks for the thought. :)
I may also change it back to a static 3 just to make sure it's always useful.

Awesome cards. Well done, Scott.

I like astonished attention, magician demon combo would be beast with this ;D

Thanks! Yeah, magicians and demons is one of my more favorite combos with magicians.

New card added, a fortress for Magicians!
I know the art isn't really Redemption-esque but I thought it was a really cool piece.
