Isn't this supposed to be in WoK? I'll move it there. We'll do Cultivation and Odium in this one.

Also, would you mind if I changed the name? I was thinking of having the enchantments represent less of the actual shard itself, and more of the presence of the shard, what it causes. For example, we would call the front side "Honor's Presence." Naming it specifically after the shard means we can do cards for shards that have no name yet, like Cultivation and Endowment.

I do like it though. Nice work.

Is it really appropriate to include this in the set? After all, it's not like we really learn this level of information from the novel itself.

That's true, we learn more about it in set 2, from the visions. But for space's sake, it's alright if this is in WoK, I think. As far as the name, I guess we could go with "Presence of the Almighty/Honor/Tanavast" /// "Presence of the Stormfather"

Yeah. I want to leave it here, as moving it to WoR would push that set to 17 mythics, which is too much for a medium sized set.

Edited stormfather side to give a significant power boost due to being probably a bit weaker than [[[Ajani's Chosen

Templating update for tokens.

Balance Notes: The front side is pretty good, as it does a reasonable approximation of giving all of your creatures complete protection from damage. Once it does run out of counters and flips, it'll start being a very powerful (and harder to remove) Mesa Enchantress that powers out creatures too.

Because the tokens are enchantments themselves, the back goes infinite with itself. Perhaps "Whenever a nontoken enchantment enters the battlefield"?
