Retemplated
Clarified
It's neat that being able to cast it with easier mana is possible but doesn't use the cards full potential.
The second ability might need a bit if rules clarification. I thought at first that each other creature you cast entered with a counter based on what kuebiko has.
Either way it's a nice design.
Catching up on old DTWs. MaRo mentioned the occasionally requested 5 hybrid card, and I immediately thought of this design. I feel like it doesn't feel too forced, right? Scarecrow cause Reaper King, of course.
Could probably be mono-blue, but black has some precedent with stealing lands. Plus, it feels black and the extra color makes it harder to play.
Too week as 0/0s
See Burrowing Worm Fiend.
See Blood Witch.
It's too "higher level" to ever make it as a real mechanic, but there's gotta be some design space.
Templating based on lifelink
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.
