I could, and that would work for him, but not, for example, using Thada Adel, Acquisitor on myself.
...fighting isn't combat damage.
That (or at least being able to say that without giggles) right there sums up something about magic that is bad wrong and evil. Grrrr. (Could just make it 'deals damage' - is it THAT abusable if you turn him into a pingstick?)
Doesn't work for what I'm trying to accomplish. Fighting isn't combat damage, and I want him to be able to turn other creatures.
: ~ fights you. (You have no power)
Yeah, it's definitely iffy rules-wise. I wonder if "Tap target creature. That creature deals combat damage to its controller as though it were attacking" would make it clearer. It's just so many words, though, and would probably need a higher activation cost. Also, then it would be too similar to Zanshem, Heart's Betrayal.
The flavour is hilarious. I'm not sure if the design works, but the flavour is awesome enough (particularly with jmgariepy's comment) that I don't mind.
All I can imagine is a crazy Kung-Fu master from a cheezy 1970s Martial Arts movie, who's specialty is turning people's heads 180 degrees. I assume that when the hero fights this guy, his head gets turned 180, there's a pause, and then he keeps fighting backwards, and that is awesome.
Changed P/T.
I feel like the first ability (second if you count flying) needs more words, but I don't know what they should be. I also want it to be used offensively, so maybe "attacks its controller if able," but that's a lot of words and generally, that creature is not able.
This evolved from me wanting a way to use Thada Adel, Acquisitor's ability on myself.
Hee. Funky design. Reminds me a little of Body Snatcher, although it works rather differently.
I actually am considered shifting this to a white enchantment creature for Mono White for the Community Set.
I changed the wording of treasured.
Assuming that's undesired, there's wriggle room in the phrasing of "Search for a card" - if you search for more than one, then you can't. But searching for multiple things is probably done as multiple search-1, so dunno if you can get away with that.
And you probably don't want it to just allow you to pull every treasured thing into play in one go - although it DOES require some setting up, so might not be too terrible. It's certainly funny.
If you resolve Protean Hulk's death trigger, are you allowed to find four of these, claiming that you're finding them in place of four 0-cost creatures which you might or might not even have in the deck? That would even leave room for you to find a Titan for good measure.
I suggest upkeep costs like on Kuro, Pitlord, or ETB costs like "When ~ ETBs, sacrifice three creatures".
You could have Treasured only work if it searched for a card and put it in your hand. I'm not sure if it's a fair mechanic, or if it works, but at least you wouldn't have a round 1 5/5 demon in play...
Is there any way to balance out big creatures with Treasured being searched for by Terramorphic Expanse? Probably not.
Oh, I think this is quite different. I think the GDS2 variant was like forecast from library. I'm possibly wrong, though.
You may well be right. I don't remember that specifically, and I did follow the GDS2 quite closely, but it was a little while ago and I don't recall it all. It'd be interesting to see the specific mechanic that had problems to see whether this is different enough or not.
Hmm. Okay. If it works, I really want to play around with it.
I could have sworn someone submitted GDS2 designs that didn't work because they triggered while searching the library. Am I wrong?
I think this does work, actually. It's similar to Panglacial Wurm. (Possibly it might need to say "you may find this card instead".) This is fun to get with Terramorphic Expanse, although not really worth it on turn 1. I think you could get away with a 0/1 Llanowar Elves with Treasured (perhaps at 2 mana), which would be an interesting choice to fetch with an Expanse.
It's possible there are rules issues with some cases, but OTTOMH I can't think of any. Arachnus Spinner will try to put this OTB attached, but it'll fall off immediately and just sit there as a 0/2. Hunting Wilds is fine too: this isn't a Forest so the second half will never apply.
