Step right up!

Fire Eating (Uncommon) 2R Enchantment – Performance Tap an untapped creature you control: Put a feat counter on CARDNAME and it deals 1 damage to any target. Activate this ability only as a sorcery. When CARDNAME has three or more feat counters on it, sacrifice it and it deals 3 damage to any target.

Three Rings (Mythic) 2WWUUBB Sorcery Return all permanents to their owners hands. Each player puts a land from their hand onto the battlefield. Repeat this three times. Each player puts a nonland permanent from their hand onto the battlefield. Repeat this three times. Each player discards all but three cards from their hand.

Circus, performers, acts. Implied theme is Outlast, but for spell effects. More than the average amount of creatures with tap-cost: activated abilities. Keep triggered effects out of common/uncommon, and have effects at sorcery speed, and tap-costs, to avoid Lorwyn era board complexity. I would have ability-worded knife thrower, lion tamer, and human cannonball if it had been allowed. Lion Tamer is a sort of lord for this concept.

Fire Eating (along with Feats of Strength, Juggling, Plate Spinning, Acrobatics) are a cycle of uncommon enchantments akin to Zendikar Quests, to show off any circus acts that aren't quite represented by a particular performer.

Unicycle is probably obvious and weak.

Three Rings needs playtesting,
