What about "At the beginning of your upkeep, if an opponent broke the law on his or her last turn, EFFECT"

This allows laws to work in multiplayer.

Thoughts?

That wording works great. I like it.

The old wording still allowed that for most effects? The new wording encourages breaking the law, but just not on your turn. I don't think that was ever the intent.

Ahh I didn't factor in breaking the law during your turn.

Lets try this: "At the beginning of your upkeep, if an opponent broke the law since the beginning of your last turn, EFFECT"?

Too wordy now?

testing new Justice wording

Added a comma (like Attunement)

Playtest Feedback: The justice trigger is good, the law however is too narrow and never got triggered.

Compares strangely to (((Supressing Agent)))

I think there definitely shouldn't be two {2}{u} 2/x Justice creatures in the set (or block). Bump one of them up or down a point of mana with associated P/T change.

Either is fine. You usually get repeat loot at common and straight up repeat draw at uncommon, but it is unusual to have both in the same set and in the same color.

E.g. Origins had Jhessian Thief and no common looter. Oath has Prophet of Distortion but the looter is in red, while BFZ has Oracle of Dust, but Vampiric Rites etc.

Can't the uncommo move to black and become "draw 1 lose 1 life"?

It could, Circeus.
