This is definitely an interesting twist on the mechanic that allows it to be much more flexible than the tribal version. I agree with Venedrex that counting down is better than counting up -- if you count up then the incentive is to put it on a small creature, but then your opponent doesn't necessa...

was thinking about a similiar concept to this, mmmm. wonder if something like this is broken? eventually the chain'd be broken. plus this way you wouldn't have to a put a counter on an aura; I still remember those Urza's Destiny ones being a huge mess! Cross-stitch (When this aura is put into a gra...

More food for thought. What do you think about Undying/Persist for auras? (When this aura is put into a graveyard from play, if it had no lore counters on it, return it to the battlefield under its owner's control with a lore counter on it.) The lore counter could be anything, charge counter, legacy...

To be clear, you should feel very free to suggest (or make) any changes you'd like -- my stance is that collaborative projects like these work better when people don't feel like they are the "owners" of ideas they came up with but rather that they are giving them to the community. I was m...

Oh yeah, glorify was very much a first pass at the flavor -- not intended to be a final draft, I just needed something to call it that got across the basic idea. And I definitely hear you about the need to have enough in your sideboard, but that's what the ability to rebuy from the graveyard is for...

Was on a bus yesterday so had some time to read through the creative thread and also think a bit, and came to a few conclusions: 1) It doesn't seem like the original conception of the set was to be a faction/tribal set, which might lean away from tradition and toward glorify 2) Whichever is chosen ...

Let's decide on one or the other. Definitely agree -- two aura-centric mechanics is one more than the set needs. I think probably the biggest factor to consider when deciding between the two is whether folks think there should be a major tribal element. To make tradition work in limited, the set pr...

So uh, do you think aliens like card games? :P If aliens are real, I just want to have the fate of earth decided by a 1v1 game of MTG. I'd rather not toss the fate of the earth to a game of mtg. I'd rather go for either pure random chance like a coin flip or a game of Go against some of our super c...

Well, I prefer Hazezon, Shaper of Sand because he doesn't cost as much as a Switch. Also he can come down earlier and you get to roleplay as Paul Atreides and wurms.

I get it, that's a big effect but man geez.

Checks printings. Never reprinted. *Nods sagely* If reprinted, real value is probably around 8 dollars.

So, I was tinkering with new mechanics, and I came up with this, then decided to check the list of unreleased mechanics to get inspiration because I felt like I was banging my head against the wall.

Can a creature have multiple instances of Toxic? Like say my 1/1 has 3 Toxic 1 will it give thevplayer 3 poison counters?

Yes.

Whenever Cairn Climber enters the battlefield or attacks, exile a card from a graveyard. If a creature card was exiled this way, put a +1/+1 counter on Cairn Climber.
Otherwise, scry 1.

OK, been giving this some more thought, and I like the joint suggestion of the Living Weapon/For Mirrodin type aura mechanic. With this mechanic, I noticed some interesting (not problematic, just interesting ) things. For one, slimytrout's method of making an optional ability seems key due to the fa...

Thanks for the input. Yeah, solving the aura problem is interesting. What I didn't realize until today was that equipment came about as a way of "fixing" auras. Of course, in doing so, they made auras look pretty bad. To me, auras and equipment are two sides of the same coin. I wonder if a...

OK, looking at prospective mechanics and ideas, this is where my brain is at right now: If we have Rift and Exalted, that covers two major bases, rewards for playing enchantments, and a more aggressive combat centered mechanic. From a design standpoint, I feel that the set would benefit from a mecha...
