: Create a Treasure token. Activate this ability only if your life total is less than the number of nontoken artifacts and nontoken enchantments you control.
, Sacrifice Shawl of Stories: Target artifact or enchantment you control gains indestructible until end of turn.
I would put the sacrifice ability on the bottom since it's the final thing you do with the permanent, so it comes after the other ability.
Compare: Abzan Banner, Bag of Holding, Codex Shredder, Dreamstone Hedron and ca. 200 to 300 other cards.
It's a bit weird to not have a tap symbol on the sacrifice ability, though not unheard of. I'm not certain I get the concept of the card.
I was wondering what a useful artifact for the set would look like.
Enchantment protection seemed cool, and something that could be allowed for an artifact to do. I figured artifact protection extension was allowed to. But, the card just kind of sits there until you want to use that ability.
So I viewed the concept of enchantments (and artifacts) as things that are treasured, and thus can could be eligible as a concept to generate Treasure tokens.
But tapping for a Treasure token with the token generation's restriction didn't seem worth it to remove access to the indestructible ability that was the core behind the card in the same turn.
