See Challenge # 106b // Challenge # 106b.
Yay, Duck // Cover :) Very interesting effect on your Cover. A single-target Ixidron does actually feel very
: in blue it's polymorphing/shape-changing, and in black it's a virtual kill spell, coupled with "loss of identity". I don't know whether it's okay to just cost 1 mana, but I suppose Pongify did.
Thank you! "Duck" was the first idea I had, but it took me ages to think of "cover" in an appropriate colour.
I'd forgotten you'd made another Duck // Cover on Challenge # 090, as part of another difficult cycle! But "make a 1/1 flying creature" is a lot simpler.
Yeah, I wasn't sure about "turn face down", but like "the next time target player would draw a card, instead they don't", it just felt quite right. It's existed in U on Ixidron, and not on B but it's so creature-removal-y it has to make sense. And it fits especially well in UB with the name "cover" since it has sneaky flavour. I wasn't sure if it was too creature-removal-y in U, it may still be too good, but I'd forgotten pongify, that makes me think it's quite good U gets this on rare occasions.
It's funny both my UB halves had new mechanics: I guess maybe because UB has a lot a conceptual overlap, but not a lot of existing mechanical overlap.
