I gave up on having orderly and tidy commons because I find them boring to see and design (the latter is a flaw of my own, though the former I hold no remorse for having).
That being said, do I need to clarify that you could only cast the spell during normal times, or is that already implied by cast (as this is instant speed, a player may use this during an opponent's turn to save something from a Bojuka Bog). How would I resolve the timing issue? "If the card exiled this way is still in exile at the beginning of endstep, return it to your graveyard. Otherwise, create a Gold token." Wait, did I just make the simple goof (lack of proofreading) that UEOT vs your endstep. "[N]ext endstep: instead of "your endstep" fixes this, correct?
I have no idea what to think of this. This is just the prickliest of pillow forts.
Is it a legendary cactus? Just a really, really big cactus?
"opponent"
Oh, Doctor Nascha references accumulate.
Trained Pronghorn - though I suppose antelope and giraffe are equally distant in their relation to pronghorns, it looks closer to the already established Antelope.
Is this supposed to represent trapping a wagon or taking up a defensive position around a weapon? Because both tropes exist.
The flavor seems off. Is it like robbing a wagon?
I feel this should be a modal card to parse easier.
Also damage to player (maybe straight to controller) would mirror the life gain better. It feels weird to be able to go 2-for-1 if your target happens to be an artifact.
This has a bit much going on for a common, don't you think? Considering this is essentially a modal spell that lets you cast a creature card from your graveyard vs. create a Gold token.
The top-down is cool when it flows well, but a delayed trigger and everything. That's even before counting the weird way the timing is of between being able to cast that card "until end of turn", but only returning it to the graveyard "at the beginning of your end step".
Removed flavortext that had been left from previous design
Fixed type
added haste
Was missing p/t
This is a lot of text, but I wanted to keep it flavorful
-Pseudoward because it's a jerk move to be mean to the bereaving
-Reduced Equip cost on death because this felt right for mourning jewelry made from the deceased.
That being said, I would be willing to swap this card's rarity with an uncommon, probably Apothecarist's Assistant
