: Each attacking creature gets +0/+1 until end of turn.
: Each attacking creature gets +1/+0 until end of turn.
: Each attacking creature gets -0/-1 until end of turn.
Citrine's power is weird. She attunes specific areas to adjust the laws of physics in them - "increasing gravity, decreasing friction, changing the progression of time". How do you reflect that? I wanted to have her put +0/+1 counters etc on lands, with the land gaining "Whenever a creature attacks you, it gets all bonuses from counters on this land", but I rather doubt that template works. This is a different approach to the same idea.
At first I had all the effects costing
, but then I realised how stupidly powerful the -0/-1 one was, so I rearranged them for a smooth scale.
Which wording is better?

The first is rather weaker - it needs to be done before combat starts, and the opponent can choose not to attack if the conditions are unfavourable. The second is a lot more powerful. (For just pumping your attackers though note that it's not as efficient as Leonin Sun Standard.)
