For Challenge # 143. Limit Break sounded straightforward, so I made what I thought was a simple card. Unfortunately, my first stab was just too long:
: Target creature which entered the battlefield under your control this turn gains haste until end of turn.
, Remove seven Break counters from ~: Put three 3/1 red Elemental creature tokens on the battlefield. Creatures you control gain haste and must be blocked. Activate this ability only when you could cast a sorcery.
I didn't want this palooka gaining credit for hasting random things 'just cause'. And I wanted to create a small army in the limit break. But both those things just took up space.
Grr. I like the idea, but the words Limit Break makes me want to create something elaborate. But there's no space on the card for a cut scene, you know?
