For Challenge # 024
Based on Telekinetic Charging Cell. It should allow you to activate any ability of the creature for "
" instead of paying its activation cost. I don't know if there's a better template
Howsabout:
You may tap enchanted creature instead of paying the cost for its activated abilities.
Pretty sure I already tried to make this in my set.
Ah no, I put together: Until end of turn all creature abilities with
in their cost, have 'sacrifice this creature' instead.
Maybe instead?:
The cost of all activated abilities on this creature become "
".
These things are usually done with a "You may treat this as though" kind of effect rather than a "I will overwrite this to be" kind of effect. So I think for once Vitenka's suggested templating is pretty good.
I might perhaps alter it slightly to something like "You may activate each activated ability of enchanted creature as if its cost was "
"."
Oddly enough, I thought Vitenka's template "You may tap enchanted creature instead of paying the cost for its activated abilities" was probably best...
Favorite combo: Tezzeret the Seeker searches up Door to Nothingness, animates it, and the you cast this and get "
: Target player loses the game." And it's repeatable!
Riptide Chronologist and a Tim effect works too.
Other suggestions:
Voidmage Prodigy
Spawnsire of Ulamog (Admittedly, it won't matter much that you can use the ability twice. Rise of the Eldrazi, the set where "Cast any number of Eldrazi cards you own from outside the game without paying their mana costs" was not sufficiently powerful to be one of the mythic eldrazi :))
Necrotic Sliver
Sphinx's Herald
:)
Oh, man, the heralds are pretty broken with this. Your opponent would be all like "Okay. That was pretty nuts, but if I deal with this Sphinx, I'll be okay." Then, you activate Sphinx's Herald again, next turn...
Mageta the Lion :)
