, added ult
@SecretInfiltrator @Jack V @Vitenka thanks for the comments y'all! I'm still struggling to find Spare's place in this set. It's simple and flavorful but its playability is debatable. Hopefully i'll create some designs that work well enough for me to keep it in the set.
Iterate 4

, "Whenever ~ spares a creature, another target creature gains double strike until end of turn." - > "Whenever ~ spares a creature, target creature gets +2/+2 until end of turn."
Yeah you're right... I could change it to gets +X/+X and that would work in the way I want it to
A keyword that puts a creature that would die on the owner's library instead would actually be an upside all by itself often enough - and an annoying one to play against to boot.
I guess the rare circumstance of a second combat step could make it relevant - but yeah. By the time spare happens, first strike is over.
It needs to target a creature with first strike for it to double the damage on anything, which is his point. By the time this ability triggers, the first strike damage step will already have happened, so double strike is just "normal strike" at that point.
I like the idea of spare, but even if it was just "when a creature is dealt lethal damage by this, get x effect" it's quite hard to trigger cf the sengir ability. Even "when a creature an opponent controls dies" is surprisingly hard to get use out of.
I guess if it's a bonus which doesn't rely as much on your creature surviving, it might work, ideally without the "sparing". Draw a card, or something, which discourages blocking. Or maybe instead of just preventing the damage it could bounce the creature? Or let the opponent put it on their library.
I guess the trick here is to have it fight your own creatures.
But yeah, it seems a bit special-use to be a common.
