I like this much better than Sunburst. However, do we want to have both this and dedication in the same set?

on 20 Aug 2011 by jmgariepy:

It does seem like the two overlap territories. Dedication may be a bit much, as well. I can see it being a good mechanic on 2cc and 3cc spells, and the occasional splashy 6cc rare, but could you imagine drafting a common that looks like this?:

Huge Dedication Dude!
­{6}{g}
Common
Dedication - When ~ enters the battlefield, put three +1/+1 counters on it if you spent all green mana to pay its cost.
5/5

To me, that reads pretty abysmal. Especially since its asking a lot from the drafter to get the card to work effeciently. On the flip side of this, Anti-Sunburst seems to work at all casting costs. It could still do something interesting on 8 CC creatures, and would look almost cute on 2CC creatures.

Though, I also think we should take the word dedication and port it over here. I do like that word.

I also like this version of Dedication better. It does the exact same thing on 1C and 1CC, but works better bigger. Maybe we could have a cycle of {1} cards with this. That would be cool.

I'd be happy to change Dedication to be this mechanic instead.

Adding this as a "big dumb creature" at uncommon. I feel it maybe wants an ability keyword as well?
