So in what kind of set do you see tech being used? I don't find a statement like "I'm so hi-tech right now!" particularly "magicky."
For this particular card it might make more sense (if not for the whole mechanic) if it counted the total number of colored mana symbols among wizards (ie. more like devotion). I think players generally like more the style of "building my board" compared to "protect my few crucial pieces." Or maybe at that point this might as well just say "where X is the number of Wizards you control"...
Compared to devotion this also seems harder to understand.
Conjured Djinn has been chosen as the first Card of the Day and to celebrate this event the card receives art by Christos Karapanos and an update to the tech level reminder text.
Conjured Djinn costs less to cast, where X is your Wizard tech level. (Your Wizard tech level is the total number of colored mana symbols among mana costs of Wizards you control.) Flying, hexproof

Tech level is a new game term similar to devotion. While devotion cares about the color of the mana symbol the current iteration of tech level cares about colored mana symbols of any color.
Devotion for all colors is equal to tech level. Though tech level can also care about just colored mana symbols of a specific card type or subtype as shown here.
The mechanics design has gone through many horrible iterations and is steadily improving. What do you think about the way tech level looks right now?

Experimenting with a mechanic based on Draconic Roar, Unshakeable Belief etc.
Suggested wording welcome.
Um; what?
I can cast this for free, but only if I pay more? I don't undestand this mechanic.
