Crusader Mechanics
The mechanics is supposed to appear in 
, but primarily white. The mechanic is supposed to represent the mobilization of forces by an alliance around an empire let by xenophobic angels in preparation of a crusade.
| Creatures you control get +1/+1.
Mobilize 3 —  (, Discard this card: Create three 1/1 white Soldier creature tokens.) |
For the crusaders I considered the following mechanics - Mobilize turns every card into a potential token maker. I'll probably add sorcery speed restriction to this - also currently it looks at the color of the card it is on to determine the color of its token. |
Creatures you control get +0/+2 until end of turn.
Mobilize 2 — (, Discard this card: Create two 1/1 white Soldier creature tokens.) |
Return target creature you control to its owner's hand.
Mobilize 1 —  (, Discard this card: Create one 1/1 blue Soldier creature tokens.)"I don't always agree with their methods, but the arcanists have saved many lifes – rescuing many from the fires and brought helps where it is needed."

Crusade is supposed to make large armies more deadly attackers. It might be a "set 2"-mechanic though. |

Call to Glory (When this resolves, reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a creature card. Put it into your hand and the remaining cards on the bottom of your library in a random order.) |
Call to Glory (or shortly 'Call to Arms') was the original name of mobilize, but now I'm using it for another ability - I hope it won't confuse me. I tried to focus on something that would make sense in the colors I want the mechanic in. It's an ability word that turns on if an opponent controls no creatures. It has been rejected for being a punishing win-more mechanic. Alternative option: Call to Glory (When you cast this spell, you may put a creature card that costs less than this from your hand onto the battlefield.) |
Creatures you control get +0/+2 until end of turn.
Call to Glory (When this resolves, reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a creature card. Put it into your hand and the remaining cards on the bottom of your library in a random order.) |
Look at the top three cards of your library, then put them back in any order. You may shuffle your library.
