First Question: What should be the new central mechanic of the Faith deck?

  • While the mechanical direction of the deck might be salvageable (go-wide + life gain), the actual keyword ability/action that was tested is bad
  • OLD VERSION: pray (You gain 1 life for each creature you control.)

I'm mentally working on a version of investigate/amass/the Ring tempts you to replace the pray effect. More as ideas become more concrete.

It should be noted that the Faith deck was mechanically diverse and had a mechanic called literally Faith which now after TDM would be written as "behold an Angel".

I consider "behold X" as an option for a shared mechanic between the decks, and independently I think the phrase "behold a Miracle" is fun and I want to use it on a card - not necessarily in this product. :)

Having a divinity tracker like the ring sounds neat, although that depends if you're going for an irl-style faith thing, or a magic-style "the god is literally standing there smiting people" thing

Pray 2.0 for now is "To pray, create a Faith enchantment token with the same colors. It has "{2}, Sacrifice two Faith: You gain 5 life."

I don't know whether caring about color will go anywhere. A Food token variant is not that interesting, but it can do some things already.

I like the idea that this might promote an artifact vs. enchantment thing.

Alternative takes:

  • A Faith token has "{4}: This oken becomes a 4/4 Angel creature token with flying. Activate only if you control four or more Faith."
  • To pray means "Create a Faith token; or put a +1/+1 counter on a Faith token you control; or a Faith token you control becomes a 2/2 Glimmer creature. Its still an enchantment."

I don't know how to feel about "sacrificing" Faith. That's why I look into animating the tokens. Sacrificing stuff definitely gives Science deck vibes.

Keeping the life gain would feel appropriate though.
