by cmeister2:

For Challenge # 069

added "you own" for donate fun :)

by SadisticMystic:

Missing "enchant player" along with any reference to the enchanted player.

by cmeister2:

Gah. True. Darn, that will make it way too wordy.

2013-02-27 09:04:17: cmeister2 edited Casket of Immortality:

added enchant player, removed sacrifice, bumped cost

by Alex:

...Why is this even a flip card? It looks like it'd work exactly the same as if the flip side were what you cast.

by Jack V:

Why not put back the sacrifice, but make it an enchantment rather than an aura?

by jmgariepy:

Or keep it an artifact for that matter...

by cmeister2:

@Alex - I guess flavour, mostly. It's a casket that breaks and turns into an aura which prevents you from dying.

2013-02-27 10:52:34: cmeister2 edited Casket of Immortality:

made enchantment so I can bring back the sacrifice.

by cmeister2:

This idea is far too wordy in general. I have a potential fix.

2013-02-27 11:15:16: cmeister2 edited Casket of Immortality:

changed it to "creature matters"

2013-02-27 11:15:41: cmeister2 edited Casket of Immortality

by Alex:

Aha, clever! Now it's a more bulletproof Worship that gives you a creature as well. Very nice.

by Jack V:

Hm. I like it, but again it seems like it doesn't necessarily need to be a flip card?

by cmeister2:

This way it only gives you creatures once; if it wasn't a flip card it would always have the ability unless you templated around it. That way the ability would be "always on" if you had mana available.

by Jack V:

But could it just give you a token when it ETB? The difference does matter, since you can activate it post-wrath, but not nearly as much as the "sac a permanent" version which I really liked, since there was good reason to leave it until you were actually about dead.

BTW, is the intention to be able to activate the ability multiple times? I don't know if the rules define what happens if you flip an already-flipped card, I think it just leaves it in a "flipped" state, not toggles the state, although it sounds like it should toggle. It might be simpler to pay X. I'm not sure if I've missed the point of this version.
