I'm not sure if I have these worded correctly. I would like the two abilities condensed into one, but I'm not sure if that is able to be done.

I think a replacement effect would work. "If a player would discard one or more cards, that player discards that many cards plus one instead." That also makes you discard down to 6 during the clean-up step if you have more than 7 cards in hand, but that's a pretty minor repercussion

You can literally specify "If an effect would cause a player to discard one or more cards" etc. to circumvent the clean-up step issue and be closer to the original wording since the clean-up discard is caused by a rule rather than an effect.

It also helps separate the effect from the cost which is addressed in the second ability.

"Effect" is such a poorly defined term in Magic, but I guess that probably works

Fixed wording thanks to dude1818 and SecretInfiltrator

Oh yeah, the other benefit to my original suggestion was that it combines both abilities. Effects discard an extra, but costs also get increased by one
