Reckless Charge already exists without being so narrow that it can only target legends, and with the ability to use it a second time. Instant speed on a haste enabler is not particularly relevant.
This can be cheaper but rarer. Ambition's Cost, Ancient Craving
More accurately, elevate is like devoid: it does absolutely nothing on its own. Maybe a small (or even not so small) bonus could be considered.
I suspect a cycle of elevate cards and 2-3 "care about legends" would be good enough for common (especially if you decide this should be a specific draft archetype). Even just making one removal "nonlegendary" would have interesting implications.
If it fits the flavor of the set well and has enough design space, I would add some more at common. Currently, I have 4 commons with elevate and 1 that cares about legends, I'd try to have 10ish with elevate and 5ish that care about legends.
Elevate is a cool idea, but it implies a legendary theme which is currently absent in any other common card,.
What do you think of Elevate? It was suggested by reddit user Tahazzar, who had named it Distinguished. I don't really like either name here very much, but I like the mechanic a lot. Any name suggestions?
I'll keep it how it is now, then.
Bloodthirst is a replacement/static effect, not a triggered one, and this works the same way hundreds of past cards with "enters the battlefield with N counter son it" have for years. The creature doesn't die for the exact same reason that creatures from Rock Hydra all the way to Skyrider Elf don't.
However, I agree a common should always be castable without dying on the spot.
