Wrong art
That's a really nice simple ability, and a sneaky boost. I like it.
Shouldn't be a keyword
I was also thinking of "fixing" Ice Block by having it not save you if you take exact lethal, but that might be too confusing
There's a whole set open for modification by anyone that's based on just converting cards from other cards into MTG. Here's one card from that set that bears some distant resemblance to this card: Immortality.
Example from Heartstone: Big Game Hunter.
Obviously based on Ice Block
Much of the time, since opponent's tend to have creatures, this is a Man-o'-War with flash. Considering that Aether Adept is the standard for Man-o'-War itself these days, this is quite pushed, especially as an instant.
Lol, doesn't everyone know what a Saproling token is?
A weird one-off mechanic from a set I didn't play? No, I don't know it.
Anyway; I dunno. I dislike this on two fronts - thematically (what do 'menace' 'protection from' 'flying' and 'you must pay 2 to block this creature' mean in common that cold trigger something?)
And mechanically - what does this actually add beyond normal 'hit the opponent' triggers? That would seem to cover all of the same space, apart from "My opponent actively chose to let me"
For phrasing though; would "Whenever an opponent is unable to block..." work?
Lol, doesn't everyone know what a Gold token is? Anyway, the point was to test out the evasion ability reminder text.
@Vitenka: A token has always been a permanent - with no type given it might be one of those typeless permanents rather than just any object. The create action is also clear under whose control it creates the token, so no reason to assume that would be different than usual.
Gold is also apparently a subtype, so maybe this is an experimental template where players are supposed to know the card type associated with each subtype by heart? At least "no colours" seems right - but colorless permanents are nothing new.
(A gold token, however, we're not going to explain at all. Presumably it's a multi-coloured object with no colours, type or controller.)
See Rogue's Dagger.
Oh sure, this probably wouldn't make sense to print in a real set. I was just exploring the space
Whether an 'evasion ability' has a defined meaning in the comp rules or not doesn't matter if most of the players won't be sure what it actually means. Is it really worth delving into this? You could add some kind of reminder text here to help people out. With the same flavor idea, I would wager WotC would just name few or the recently used evasion keywords here (namely menace) instead of going with that poorly known 'evasion ability' term.
