When it was known that Chulane, Teller of Tales was the main legendary creature to fit with Adventure, I was disappointed to learn that not only were black and red shaved off (cutting off a third of the options), but also he became one of the most notorious legendary creatures in recent years.
I wanted to create a new 5c legend that focused on the Adventure mechanic specifically, but I'm having trouble trying to come up with something. Here's what I have so far:
Annabelle, Weaver of Stories
Legendary Creature-Human
: The next time you would cast an Adventure instant or sorcery, copy it. You may choose new targets for the copy.
: Return target creature with an Adventure from your graveyard to your hand.
: Return target creature with an Adventure you control to your hand.

Here, I wanted to emulate Chulane and Kenrith, the Returned King. The first ability is a pseudo-Lucky Clover, and paying Izzet colors all the time makes it difficult to use the ability repeatedly. Recursion was something I felt Adventure was a little weak on, so I made a Golgari activated ability akin to Order of Midnight, though more thematic. Lastly, the third ability is a slightly more color-intensive and restricted version of Chulane's activated ability.
I'm looking to capture the flavor of a writer and storyteller in one card while making 5c Adventure tribal a thing. Any (other) ideas? Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I thought of something much better, but it blurs the line between the card being unique and being a redundant Chulane. It also forces me to make WUBRG as the mana cost:
Annabelle, Tale Weaver
Legendary Creature-Human
Whenever you cast an Adventure instant or sorcery spell, copy it. You may choose new targets for the copy.
Whenever you cast a creature spell with Adventure, draw a card, then you may put a land card from your hand onto the battlefield.

I think youd be better off making a legend that just happens to work well with adventure cards. Most of the adventure cards aren't impactful enough to be useful in edh.
