Consolidate isn't working as well (though maybe we can still save it.) also we no longer have a kicker mechanic or other mana sink.

Thus I'm looking for some alternate proposals for a spell mechanic: Options currently include: Kicker Overload Replicate

It needs to be simple is the main requirement. I'm gonna design some kicker cards in the meantime.

Personally, here's how I'm thinking about the mechanics:

Progress - Renown, Revolution, Canister, Thopter

Rebellion - Revolution, Renown

Tyranny - Justice, Consolidate

I think that's a fair split. We have 6 mechanics - including the two tokens, which I strongly feel should be counted as a mechanic, complexity-wise - so we're about on average with current modern design principles. However, I feel less is more when it comes to mechanics, so if it's at all possible to cut any of these, then let's go for it.

I'm not entirely happy with Consolidate yet. I don't consider that a lock for the final set. I'm gonna keep thinking about noncreature progress on my own. I encourage everyone to do the same.

An emergency sac-effect would be interesting, but an activated ability would play better, more likely. I'm happy with either. I think this would do fun things at uncommon, though, so let's try to keep it there.

Beautiful.

I do not think that this should be an instant. That'd be far too defensive for red.

We want to be careful with the number of artificer cards we have at common... there were only six total token cards at common in BFZ, and that's just one kind of token, Scions.

We can probably push a little more than that, but not too much. I worry about board complexity and a lack of tokens for players.

I like this current design. Simple but effective. It does read worse than it plays, though - which is fine, but just a good thing to note.
