Yow. Admonition Angel but harder to get your stuff back? Could the Hedrons trap the target until Nahiri leaves the battlefield?
Also, how often do Equipment end up in the graveyard?? Looks like it needs a lot of looting/self-mill/artifact sacrifice, which are blue/red/black and non-white...
In edh I'll blow up a sword whenever one hits the field.
Yeah, I see equipment get destroyed pretty often in EDH. I was going to make the first ability search for equipment, like Stoneforge Mystic, but the card is already wordy.
Middle ability now costs loyalty.
Also, maybe it's just my experience, but artifact board wipes are pretty common in EDH as well.
Heh. Seems like the CMD2014 team agree with you.
Even then, though, they made her card useful even if nobody's destroying Equipment.
Very true. I really expected her to reference the hedrons, though.
I don't like the first ability too much. For one, it seems very narrow, but it's also incredibly good when it is (Do they need to be two? Does it need to be a plus ability?). It would also be cooler if it was tied to artifacts in general so that it's easier to build around (and relates better to the rest of the card).
I like the second ability a lot in flavor and function, although -1 is absolutely too strong, and it may feel a little color pie-breaking in that undoing the exiling takes a ton of effort. It's possible that it's frustrating to play against. You could only target a certain subset (like Suspension Field), or even just weaken the creature instead of exiling it (turning it 1/1?). But if it's too wordy, it's pretty cool as it is.
The -5 is overwhelmingly boring, although I understand the synergy. I'd suggest an emblem, but it may feel too much like Elspeth, Knight-Errant.
In general, though, any Lithomancer that includes putting creatures inside hedrons is a cool design. :)
