­Shivan Dragon + Follow the Tracks Mildly amused that the next radom card was Dragon’s Dawn

Alright! A real signature card! (Screw you, mythics, you aren't real) Follow the tracks is a mill card, 3 or 6 conditionally. Shivan flies, breathes fire, and is stompy. Not a great deal of overlap there. I guess 'creature' is an overlap bit; so this has to involve critters somewhere.

A mill breathing dragon? Ebon Dragon? Seems a bit obvious. Also the card plainly has to be named Drachenspuren.

So, following a dragons tracks. Conditionally larger effect. Bloodthirst maybe? What does red get in mill. Hmm, it gets "Take damage or be milled" It gets self mill for extra damage, and for various other advantages (mill and I'll block, but maybe really badly) Song of Blood seems the most thematic of those. It also gets Jester's Cap style effects, but let's not go there.

So here we go.

I assume that last ability is meant to be "for each creature card put into a graveyard from anywhere this turn"? (Cf Countryside Crusher or Quest for Ancient Secrets.)

Intriguing card, anyway. It may be not especially Timmy-suitable because there's a subset of Timmies who don't like milling themselves; that's unfortunate because Dragons are usually targeted at Timmy, but they don't always have to be. I like the tweak on firebreathing anyway.

Yeah, it's mainly a weaker firebreathing, with a little bit of "Hey, I blew everything up this turn, be big!"

I agree it's a fairly specialised niche; big dragons and mill don't go together all that naturally.

Silly templates. If this keeps up we'll end up with cards "during state_checking, count all cards that are in a graveyard zone and that are creature cards and that were in a non-graveyard zone since the previous start of turn. Apply a layer effect that gives this card +count/+0; remove this effect at end of turn.

I really have no idea when that first ability activates. Shouldn't it be "Whenever a creature card is put into a graveyard from anywhere, ~ gets +1/+0 until end of turn?"

Exile target player's graveyard, then return all cards exiled this way to that player's graveyard. Then do it again.

I think the first ability works fine. It's like Kird Ape or whatever: it's constantly updated. It's reasonably easy to tell which cards in a graveyard were put there this turn (or at least how many), so I think it's fine.

(Don't give this haste or it risks getting confusing.)
