WHOAH this card has depth
This is exactly the kind of risk/reward mechanic I was trying to come up with for my Noir set. Never really ended up with one that I liked. I eventually ended up using Wager (When this creature ETBs or Attacks, you may exile a card from your hand as a bet on this creature. When a creature deals combat damage to a player, return all bets on it to their owners' hands.) and then just provided benefits to the creatures if there are any bet on them.
Might wanna steal this
I mean, I originally came up with the base concept thanks to a card Alex designed, so you're welcome to iterate on it further.
this is really cool, yeah.
