Flavorfully, I was going for lethargic depression from feeling useless and in games this should trigger from your turns when you aren't doing anything "new or exciting". The inclusion was never to a larger theme and just relegated to individual cards. However, since the occurrence of not playing cards nor activating abilities can happen in any game, I thought the mechanic could exist fine without anything to set it up beyond the luck of what a player draws.
Is that supposed to be "if you have cast no spells and have activated no nonmana abilities this turn"?
I don't like it. Werewolves barely got away with the "no spells" theme because they encouraged dumping mana in activated abilities.
What will your way of enabling this theme be in the set? Triggered abilities? Special actions?
Yeah, I was missing "this turn."
