> 1) Why can't triggered abilities work from hidden zones though? The draft-matters cards worked from a hidden zone, although those were replacement effects.

triggered abilities use the stack, replacement effects can be applied directly to an event as it happens
putting the triggered ability on the stack is mandatory - even if "you may" make a decision to not use this one during resolution there needs to be a way to enforce triggered abilities follow the correct timing. The way to enforce this is to only have triggers occur from public zones
optional replacement effects can remain hidden since there is no need for anything to happen unless the replacement effect is actually invoked
extra: activated abilities (e. g. the one suggested by Tahazzar) work on a similar basis of "this doesn't go on the stack automatically, only if someone chooses to activate it"

2) Feedback I got elsewhere was the same as yours, Vitenka. Make it work like trap cards and let you flash it in cheap. But the flavor of the boogeyman is that it's always lurking, so I don't like that for this particular card.

Huh. It'd be nice to have 'resolve when revealed' as a trap. Like madness could be.

Abilities can't trigger from hidden zones, which of hand is one.

I think it would need to be worded more along the lines of

> , Reveal ~ from your hand: ... Activate this ability only if... and more times than..?

Wish there was room for flavor text: "It is the bump you hear in the night."

How about?

> {t} : Exile target creature card from your graveyard. If you do, put a +1/+1 counter on ~.

> {1} {b} : ~ becomes a 0/0 black Spirit creature with flying until end of turn. It's still a land.

or just extract the manland activation so that

> Whenever a nontoken creature you control dies, you may exile it. If you do, put a +1/+1 counter on ~.

is a separate ability.

Hmm, given the hoops to jump through to animate before combat, it probably doesn't need the restriction then.

ETA: Actually, hold on. SBEs are checked after this triggers, at which point the token isn't in your graveyard anymore. So you can't exile it, and you wouldn't get the counter anyway. So it says nontoken to prevent the confusion. If I got rid of the exile clause, then it could trigger off tokens, but I'm not sure if I want to do that

2018-04-20 08:21:23: Vitenka commented on Karayan, the Restless Grave

Many do, many don't. The big one to avoid is "I create tokens and trigger on tokens and oh dear". For this card, it just seems a bit limiting, and unless it turns out to be needed for power reasons I'd suggest dropping it. (The power level is a risk. With normal creatures this is basically the size of the number of turns you have played it; with token creatures it could get very big.)

Anyway; this is pretty nifty. Slightly hoop-jumping to use, but quite rewarding when you do.

2018-04-20 05:34:56: dude1818 commented on Karayan, the Restless Grave

I figured triggering off token death could get out of hand. Don't most death triggers avoid that? I also recognize that it will usually grow after combat, but I want you to build around it a little if you want to take advantage of it in combat. Black is good at sac outlets.

While flavorful there are gameplay issues. Most creatures die during combat, so this will mostly animted after that's least useful.

Is "nontoken" necessary? What's the idea behind that?
