Oooooooooh. 2/2 first strike that can make two other creatures +1/+1 doublestrike for a turn. That's shiiiiny.

I have no idea how shiny; it's need testing. Encorporate seems kinda wordy though - why not just "Exile ~: put counters on..."?

by Alex:

Mm. I fear the timing doesn't quite work out. The stack would go:

You "Encorporate" this, putting it in the graveyard. Stack: Encorporate.
Its death trigger goes on the stack. Stack: Encorporate; death trigger.
The death trigger resolves, but only looks at things that already have +1+1 counters on them.
Finally, Encorporate itself resolves, too late to grant the double strike bonus.

by 10vernothin:

how about "put 2 +1/+1 counters, then sacrifice ~"?

by 10vernothin:

it's supposed to be only first-strike...

double-strike would kinda be OP for 3 mana and would only work for rares.

by amuseum:

i still don't know if encorporate is a triggered or activated ability, or even replacement effect.

by 10vernothin:

honestly I don't know anymore.

by Link:

If you want to be an activated ability, it needs to have some sort of cost.

by 10vernothin:

I changed it so the whole ability resolves as 1 ability and you activated it by "incorporating".

by Alex:

I guess that lets the death triggers work the way you want them to. I think this will actually have pretty interesting gameplay.

Wording suggestion:

> {0} : Incorporate 2. (To incorporate 2, ...)

That would make it clear that this is an ability you can activate. Every activated ability needs a "cost: effect" template.

by 10vernothin:

I'm using the suspend mechanic. hopefully it works.

by Alex:

Ah, yes, a two-parameter keyword mechanic, with a mana cost as one parameter, and with the colon in the reminder text like Equip. Yep, that works pretty well.
