See Flying... birdmen? and Fervor Invoked.

Conspiracy-style draft mechanic.

Each player has their own manifestation list which is public information.

Thinking about how to make something similar work in constructed.

Nifty. That could be interesting.

Mm. It is interesting. But how would you keep track of which manifests you had if they're in your deck? What if you weren't sure?

I mean, it seems easy enough to remember. But after your 10th draft... well, I know I tend to forget things like this.

In conspiracy, don't you just write them down as you draft them?

I agree it might get complicated, but I also like the idea.

Yeah, you could word it like Aether Searcher or Cogwork Tracker or Garbage Fire with an explicit instruction to "note" something.

On the other hand, some things like Regicide and Paliano, the High City just have drafters "choose" things and assume you'll write them down somewhere sensible. Spire Phantasm is similar.

Maybe a middle ground like "You may reveal ~ as you draft it. If you do, add flying to your blue manifestation abilities."?

Oh, I forgot that the Conspiracy cards added the "note " wording if they expect you to write it down. It was my intent to write down the list of manifestation abilities. Will add it as reminder text for now.
