This is my first attempt at designing a cursed artifact.
Mmmm... Frankly, there's no reason for the downside. This costs six. It could probably be "
: Regenerate all creatures you control" and no one would flinch.
I adjusted the cost. My goal with this and Sword of Epic Rage is to emulate cursed items you find in d&d games.
Ok, so this is now a Medicine Bag, which also gains you a bit of life (but costs two discards instead of one) that can be levelled up by paying
voer multiple turns to remove the usage cost?
That's probably fair. I'd class it as a junk-rare; very rarely worth using. But with other tricks to remove counters, maybe occasionally useful?
It is stretching arbitrary regeneration outside of the colours it usually lives in; but as such a high cost, you can probably get away with it.
This was an actual item in a Pathfinder game I played. Whenever the key's holder used it he went slightly insane (why I chose to have cards discarded in order to activate the card's ability). Remove curse had to be cast on the item three times in immediate succession for the curse to break the curse (hence the three curse counters).
