I need a lot of help with this ability. I hope my intent is clear, but here's the gist. Demons, both yours and your opponent's are always making you sacrifice stuff. I was thinking that this could be used as a one-time substitute for paying a sacrifice cost of a demon. Is there a more elegant / Magic-template style way of conveying this?
Hmm... Something like:
> If you would sacrifice one or more permanents [or pay life?] for an ability of a Demon, you may sacrifice Apple instead.
?
That does make for a bit of a silly turn 1 Demon of Death's Gate, but I assume that's deliberate. (Delraich would work too except it's a Horror, not a Demon.)
(Or maybe it wouldn't let you cheat out a DoDG, actually. My wording uses the somewhat woolly phrase "for an ability", and DoDG's alternate casting cost is more to do with casting the Demon spell itself than "an ability" of the Demon, though the text granting that cost is technically an ability itself.)
"If an activated or triggered ability from a Demon source would cause you to sacrifice one or more permanents, you may sacrifice ~ instead." I also think the name needs to be a little less generic. Maybe "Demongift Apple" or something along those lines?
@dude1818 Awesome. Thanks.
Changed text to magic-style wording.
Yes, that's a good wording. Good job.
The absurd quote from Ryuk is great icing on the cake too.
