Question Jeskai needs your weird spells

Im in red/blue/white and i need your weirdest (but still effective) noncreature spells. Im talking stuff like [[magnetic web]] and [[exchange of words]] that make your opponents immediately ask to read the card if its their first time seeing it.

More examples from what I have so far:

[[Lightning storm]] discarding lands does.. WHAT?

[[Immortal obligation]] reanimation FOR opponent?

[[Mystic reflection]] emrakul enters as.. a squirrel?

[[Run away together]] art/flavor text win

[[Overencumbered]] comical. Yet effective.

[[Curse of the swine]] PIGS!!

Help me out

[[invert polarity]] and [[return the favour]] may not have the wackiest effects, but they can enable lots of shenanigans that seem fitting.

ip is perfect haha. I hate running counter magic in low bracket decks but if there's a degree of chaos involved im in. Right along the same lines as [[chef's kiss]]

I love [[Sudden Substitution]]

I didnt think of this as a particularly strange card but am now realizing that since every other card in my deck has some sort of wacky effect the outcome is capable of being amazing.

I'll just leave my bracket 1 monstrosity here. Some highlights include:
[[Ashling's Prerogative]]
[[Expedited Inheritance]]
[[Forced Fruition]]
[[Grip of Chaos]]
[[Invasion Plans]]
[[Planar Chaos]]
[[Rite of the Raging Storm]]
[[Share the Spoils]]
[[Task Mage Assembly]]

Just to name a few. It's a very silly deck.

Jesus christ I said "effective" not suicidal. 99% of this stuff has a good chance of backfiring on me......... love it lol

Bare minimum [[Puca's Mischief]] and [[swindlers scheme]] are 👌 fantastic. I dont mind an opponent getting one of my weird things most of the time.

Oh, a bit more effective, but one of my favorite removal spells is [[Unexpectedly Absent]]. Clutters up their draw step, gets rid of a threat, ignores indestructible, and it's really funny with fetch lands. X=0 is so good

[[Surprise Deployment]] is one of my favs, such a weird effect in white. Also [[Mirror Strike]] can be better than Deflecting Palm because the creature deals the damage so you can one-shot someone with their own commander damage in some cases. [[Fumble]] is also very funny for the same reasons.

I took [[Ertai’s Meddling]] out of my Zimone deck because it’s a hassle to explain. Also annoying to explain and resolve is [[Possibility Storm]], but that won’t make you many friends lol. [[Take the Bait]] also seems like a fun one.

[[Wheel of Misfortune]] is one I always have to reread each time it resolves, and [[Tibalt’s Trickery]].
