For Challenge # 150. Link's Sphinx of the Sands got me thinking of doing an Eater of Days-esque card. The name's a reference to 'To His Coy Mistress'.

I like it, but I don't know why it's green?

Well... the creatures are quite green. But it does seem blue or black, really.

What if the card instead said 'Skip your next turn'. Would it then feel green to you?

Maybe if I add some flavor text from 'To His Coy Mistress' it will help? Honestly, I can't think of a color more appropriate than green when it comes to taking its time.

Ah, sorry, I didn't really realise what the poem was about. With that couplet, it makes a lot more sense, although I think the name doesn't really make sense without knowing the poem already.

That does fit-flavour wise, but skipping a turn does just feel really black/red. Could it work if you can't attack or play spells next text? That gives up a lot of the benefit of a turn, but keeps the green things (card draw, land drop).

This challenge was partly inspired by "Eternal Summer" at: http://goblinartisans.blogspot.co.uk/2016/05/weekend-art-challenge-052016-music.html?showComment=1463794547862#c6583985943446912171

So I approved of green extra-turns, but at first, this felt more like "drawback" than "slow".
