This is worded strangely. Why can you use one creature with retreat to let a different creature with the same ability retreat. Also It's a little unclear.

Is this only meant to work one time each combat? If so I'd recommend "After blockers have been declared you may remove this creature from combat and untap it, you can only use one retreat ability each turn"

If you're allowed to retreat multiple times each turn "After blockers have been declared you may remove this creature from combat and untap it".

I can't imagine any functionality where this wording is correct.

You could word it differently and have retreat be on non-creature things as well. kinda like how exalted is put on other things. That being said, it its for the red/white tribe, I really don't think the mechanic fits. Maybe if the ability it only triggerable when attacking, then it would. If you do that, it would be fair to have one target per retreat effect. Just some food for thought.

Oh yeah. I meant for it to be an attack only thing. I'll reword it now.

I noticed this didn't have a rarity, seemed like a common.

This isn't even an activated ability, so the reminder text makes no sense. It looks like it should be a triggered ability, but I can't think of a way to include the once-per-turn restriction. I suggest "{0}: Remove this creature from combat and untap it. Activate this ability only during the declare blockers step on your turn and only once per turn."

I was wondering about the inclusion of a mana cost but then I realized, isn't this exactly what regenerate was? Except this doesn't dodge destroy effects and leaves the creature untapped.

Going to code this as 0000, out of the set and retire the idea for now. I want to go back to look at Reiterate.
