Niiifty. And presumably one at 3 can bring back one at 2, which can then bring back this. Reminds me of Soulshift chains.
The power level needs to be low enough that the game can cope with the effect being repeatable, which this card I think manages without looking awful, but might be tricky for some.
I like this, though. I'd be interested to see what a Limited environment with a bunch of cards with this mechanic in would look like. It tickles my Johnny-senses. (And maybe that's a way to avoid the repetitive-game-state problem: make many of the effects Johnny combo-piece effects rather than straight-up value.)
Thank you!
Yeah, those are the ways I was thinking. It could also be dialled down by giving it flashback instead of returning it to your hand (so to repeat a 3-cost spell, you need 7 mana in one turn, and to repeat two 3-cost spells, you'd need 10 mana.)
I did like this idea.
I don't know that this level of repetitiveness is good, but I do love the pairing of the effect with the name "crescendo." Though... A crescendo means you're getting louder, and this causes you to return "quieter" spells to your hand. Shoot, now I'm overthinking. I like it.
