See New Mantra test.
The wording makes me wonder if just making the subtype Mantra could replace "Repeat a mantra." The downside is that doing so could deny orhter card types, primarily artifacts and enchantments, abilities that could add to the mantra count.
"Repeat" is dangerous wording choice. Is the first time you "do" a mantra in a game already "repeating" it?
"Recite" seems like a superior option. And then if you explicitly want to count only "repetition" you could say "number of times you recited a mantra beyond the first/minus one".
Recite would be the better wording, since repeat has mechanical connotations. Chant could also work. Since counters that disappear after a turn were a concern, I was thinking to make the player keep track of their mantra each turn, and I wanted wording for that.
