Meant to synergize with all the bouncing effects you have. Wordier than previous version, Carrier, for testing.

Ok, so I removed all references to actual, physical 1/1 Interceptors, and abstracted them to the cards in your hand. Again, meant to synergize with the fact that Protoss plays like a control deck and all the bounce effects it has.

Unlike (((Mothership))), blinking this isn't game-breaking, so I kept the Mulldrifter ability.

draw two cards -> draw two cards then discard a card. balance reasons

when ETB draw two discard one -> Whenever attacks draw

by jameschanlee:

Interesting thing, there's a strong clear distinction between Protoss creatures that are meant to hold the fort, and Protoss creatures which are all meant to go on the offensive. See Dark Templar, Archon, (((Mothership)))

Previously:

Carrier {4} {u} {u}
Creature - Protoss Ship [r]
Flying
~ gets +1/+0 for each card in your hand.
Whenever ~ attacks, draw a card.
0/3

Too expensive? Too strong? Who cares! (actually I do, still need to test it)
Inspired by freakin' Onyxia, of all things. Not Prossh, Skyraider of Kher.
Finally found a design that actually LOOKs like a carrier, isn't a rehash of Hangarback Walker or Pentavus, and most importantly, synergizes with Protoss self-bounce and exile!

fixed wording using new "create" template

2017-06-25 22:16:00: jameschanlee edited Carrier:

simplify. before: When ~ enters the battlefield, if you control less than five creatures, create 1/1 blue Protoss Ship artifact creature tokens with flying equal to the difference.

Protoss ship token -> interceptor token

by Visitor:

Carrier {3} {u} {u} Flying ETB- 4 interceptors {t} create an interceptor

0/4

by Visitor:

^ forgot, when carrier leaves the battlefield destroy all interceptors. - might be confusing when there's more than 1 carrier on the field at the same time.

by Vitenka:

Honestly, it seems fine without it. Magic is full of stuff that encourages people to try and create clever combos. Letting flickering bring you four additional ships feels clever ratheer than cheaty.

by anonymous zergling:

come on man 5/5 and 4 1/1's maybe 1/5 or 2/5 with the 5 1/1's
