i hope these abilities are good. i wanted to have one that adds mana, but it didnt make the cut. Maybe you have better ideas for what the seasons could do

I also would appreciate a epic mystical name for this card.

­:D

Is there a word for these kinds of cards? Maybe replace that word with cycle

I like these a lot, except August is a bit of a color pie bend, and I'd think it would be cool to see it be put a land from hand otb tapped

August is a complete color pie break. All of these seem way overpowered to be uninteractable upkeep triggers (except Summer, which is unplayable)

If it had to go through them in order, that would work well. It's kinda saga, actually. Except it can (presumably) repeat. I'd also advise losing the hexproof, and maknig ... august? Autumn I assume, be just the one card.

this would be really cool as a Saga.

I don't think making it less cards is the idea. maybe just change it entirely.

Would this be less broken if each additional ability cost {1}{g}?

Maybe make it a strive sorcery?

The hexproof isn't really needed, yeah.

I like it as an enchantment, but yeah, I wish there was a way that forced the player to cycle through the choices. I think the August (also, why August over Autumn or Fall?) bend is fine, not too far from green's enchantress draw if the abilities could only happen in a cycle or the card as a whole as a saga.

you're right about the name, i totally derped on pointing that out to him... i don't know why, but i feel like autumn is the word rnd/wotc would use... fall has so many other uses in the nomenclature of the game...

Summer should probs be buffed too? like 7 life?

The thing is this isn't flavorfully a Saga, but mechanically i don't think there is a better way to make it cycle. It should cycle through them in a proper order.

Also the name Cycle of Seasons is kind of on-the-nose... Just feels a bit too gross (not icky, i mean un-subtle)

Also spring makes sense if it comes after winter, (ie chronological cycling) but otherwise i'd suggest to change it to maybe "Create a token that is a copy of a creature you control". baby fever!

I also don't flavorfully understand Summer or August's thing?

I'd honestly think Autumn would make you discard cards, rather than draw them?

And Summer makes sense, but isn't as deep as the others...

Nonetheless, super cool idea, this is just a collection of feedback on this post.

i hope this one is ok :(

much better, you addressed most the issues i think.

to clarify, is the idea that each tier gets better? because that's what it does right now. However, Spring is totally underpowered right now. I'd buff it, but not too much.

This does take a while to do, but it still seems really good for 4 mana. Maybe up to 5 or 6, but balancing is problebly someone elses mo
