I know that affinity is supposed to work only with permanents, but this could theoretically work, right?
Is Ghostly Prison even a triggered ability?
No, Ghostly Prison's not got any activated abilities anywhere. Activated abilities always have a colon.
See also Soltari Guerrillas and Laccolith Grunt.
Ugh... typo.
Added comma.
Changed name and toughness.
Throat Slitter makes me wonder if I have costed this correctly.
I'm not sure whether or not this wording includes Ghostly Prison and I'm not sure whether or not I want it to :)
That could definitely be fun. I also considered making it something like the Guardian's Magemark cycle, but this is a more novel twist.
Yowsers. It's probably plenty good enough just hosing all activated abilities across the board. I do like the way you make an exception for this one permanent; that's a fun mechanic. You could certainly extend that idea onto other auras: "Creatures other than enchanted creature get -1/-1"? Or even "Creatures other than enchanted creature get +1/+1"!
I was going to included triggered abilities in this, but I didn't think that would pay well with non-optional triggers: does that make some sort of combo deck viable when you can't pay the cost of a trigger that hurts you? I fear it would need to be changed to a Mana Leak-esque cost increase.
Huh. Interesting.
Reminds me of Kite-Mount Raven, though they're kinda opposites.
Changed to 1 or less.
Oooooooooh! That's, a FUN way to template it!
Hmm... it would then have to become: Store
(
: ~ becomes a colorless artifact and loses all abilities. Unattach it. Whenever another permanent enters the battlefield, you may end this effect and attach ~ to that permanent.)
I'm a big fan of this type of effect, though, I must admit that the times I've printed things like this and had people playtest them they always come back with questions. Whatever. Changing types is awesome. Suck it, new players.
I do think that you have to add the word "unnattach" to store, however. Not because the card doesn't work as printed... I think losing 'Enchant permanent' really does the trick. It's just... well, you're going to get questions from people who don't know that, and it's just a couple words more to stop those questions.
Also, I personally think it might be better to have "Whenever a permanent enter the battlefield, you may attach..." Instead of paying to end the effect. That's roughly what's going to happen anyhow, is simpler for some players to parse, and strangely, cuts down on decision making. You'd think it would increase it, since you'd need to make the choice every time you cast a creature... but with the mana payment, the choice now becomes "Whenever I could potentially use
."
Would it make zero sense to phrase Store as an action?
: Store ~. (~ becomes a colorless artifact and loses all abilities. You pay pay
to end this effect and attach ~ to target permanent.)
It would be nice to potentially have abilities that trigger "whenever you store an aura" or something.
Changed wording. I edit too much.
Changed Store cost.
Oops! I put this in the wrong set.
