Do you think appropriating Lifelink's phrasing would work? i.e., "Damage dealt by Black Creatures you control also causes you to lose 1 life" or something close to that.
A more color pie appropriate Bad Moon. I'd prefer not having the life loss use the stack, so that you could kill yourself at the same time you kill your opponent, but I'm not sure of a good way to template that.
Thought the name sounded familiar; changed
Based on a RoboRosewater card. I could totally see playing this effect in the right meta.
Still niche, but in a way that would make it viable in sideboards.
Changed flavor too; originally named Oathbreaker
Changed from destroying an Oath to destroying a Planeswalker
Shit, I forgot I changed it to destroy an enchantment. Even before I saw MaRo's ask, I was thinking of an actually black oath that on ETB destroyed a Planeswalker and also had this second ability. Not sure what misfired in my head when I decided that destroying the oath was mechanically equivalent. You're right this is super niche, so I guess I'll change it back.
I feel like there would need to be higher density of Oaths for them to warrant cards that interacted with them specifically. Also, why the color pie break? Just because there's no black Oath?
Based on a question to MaRo about why the oath cycle doesn't have subtypes. (Yeah, this name sounds more like a creature, but whatever.)
And there are some Planar Chaos (but not color-shifted) cards that counter things that target you or your stuff, and some old cards that counter white's enemies and things it can destroy. White's really quarternary in counters. I could make this an enchantment that sacs.
Although it seems like most of the white examples are focussed on making spells more expensive, rather than countering them by surprise. Maybe there's an on-board version of this?
Planar Chaos is certainly not sensible precedent. But there's also Lapse of Certainty, Chancellor of the Annex, Frontline Medic, ... hmm, I thought there were a couple of others. But it is an area white dabbles in from time to time.
Mana Tithe argues for white Force Spikes in the same way that Healing Leaves argues for green damage prevention. I'm not saying I wouldn't be cool with it. Just that it's a tentative shelf to build things on.
A more realistic Remand in white would probably be putting the spell on top of its controller's library and giving them the mana back.
White does get Mana Tithe and a few other similar cards, though.
Hmm. So this isn't Phylactery Lich; this is actually an extra vulnerability to the The Lich King planeswalker, with the reward being it's a 5th-8th copy of him?
Well, I'm not sure we can say that white has Rethink. But I'm willing to believe that it could have Remand...
Could get even sillier if you Remand-ish your own spell just to charge it up and make it more powerful next turn.
o_O
White gets taxing and red gets rituals, so red/white gets Mana Drain, right?
See The Lich King.
See Spark of the Lich King. I was discussing the spark with someone and realized that since sparks can be stored in objects, and liches already store their souls in stuff, there could conceivably be a lich Planeswalker. Not really happy with its abilities, but I just wanted to post the concept.
I really like this card.
Hmm. Sultai decks like Write into Being and friends because it puts a card in the 'yard (the sorcery) as well as making the creature. This doesn't do that. Nor is there any chance of turning it face up. However, it avoids the big drawback of token-making spells over creatures, which is bounce. This getting bounced works more like Runeclaw Bear.
It's probably slightly worse, because Zombify and Turn to Mist work better on the Runeclaw Bear than on this.
I forgot about ((C41511)). Curious why this needs to be more expensive if the other is better.
Heh. Either this or ((C41511)) is fair. I suspect ((C41511)) is better, and this might need an extra mana.
What do you know, someone else wondered too. Answer.
it wasn't supposed to steal the spells
