This is meant to be a card that can return to your hand to fuel the "discard a creature card" effects. I like the idea of activated abilities that cost less based on how much brawlin' you've done this turn.

Not really sure what else to attach to this creature, or how to cost it... giving it "can't block" lines up with lots of return-y creatures, and Trample is in all three associated colors.

I really liked the idea of a faction's mechanic being "discard a creature card, draw a card, do a thing". Trying to figure out what "do a thing" is able to be. Haste seems like an obvious starting point, since it's present in all three colors.

I wonder how to word this in a way that enables it to target something... I explicitly want the "draw a card" effect to resolve, even if the chosen creature dies.

", then choose up to one target creature you control. That creature gains haste until end of turn."

Here's another shot at primary secondary common. How does this feel?

Cat is primary in Green and White, Spirit is also in those colors. Probably still needs some representation of Red, so we're tossing in Berserker.

Convoke shows up in red sometimes, but is primary in green and white. Haste shows up in green, so maybe it's not the best representation of red-ness. Vigilance is absent in red and present in green/white, so it brings this in to something that could only be at least green/white... maybe.

Probably need to think of something more red-aligned than haste.

This was originally meant to be part of the primary color with hybrid color common cycle, but I wanted to record this idea.

There are some Red Cats and Spirits, but Green and White get many more of these.

Red gets to rummage. This tries to tie it to the G/W identity by making the rummage require a Creature card, then making a small creature token. It's not a super-complicated design, and it feels like it can be elegant enough to be effective in draft.

Doesn't fit the common cycle's concept theme of only using straightforward existing mechanics. But this kind of card makes me feel like I'm understanding the faction concept a little better.

This is meant to represent the most simple primary secondary common, using existing Magic mechanics.

I wanna give Deathtouch as the Black keyword and Trample as the Red/Green keyword, but those generally are never printed on the same card, and Green gets Deathtouch anyways. So howabout Lifelink?

Part of the struggle here is that Black does get Trample at sufficient creature size. Is there a more interesting keyword we can give this?

Black has some Beasts, but Red and Green have far more. Dinosaurs, too. Black brings the Nightmare.

I want this to remain "common" in complexity... but how can we make this feel more Blue? Is there a way to tie in the -breathing to some kind of output that is rather blue?

We could have it Scry X, where X is the damage done?

This is meant to represent the most simple primary secondary common, using existing Magic mechanics.

Black and Red get firebreathing/shadebreathing. This isn't found on Blue.

Vigilance is a keyword that only Blue gets out of the three.

There are Black and Red Goblins, and Warrior is primarily a creature type in those colors. I'm not thrilled about this exact set, though, because it feels like it isn't representing Blue enough. Probably want a distinctly Blue creature type on that line. Blue also gets some Warriors, so it's not entirely using the supplemental colors.

Unsure what rate to put the shadebreathing. Is it really "red" if it also increases toughness? Can we sneak haste in instead of the toughness increase?

This is meant to represent the most simple primary secondary common, using existing Magic mechanics.

White gets First Strike. Black rarely does, but it's mostly a White keyword. Both Blue and Black get Surveiling.

Soldier is primarily a White creature type, with Rogue being in Blue and Black.

Perhaps having First Strike comboes with either a Deathtouch (Black) or "bounce-touch" (Blue)?

This represents one of the members of the Witnesses Guild. This is based on Etrian Odyssey, where the "party size" is 5. So theoretically, Lace can attack while protecting the other members of her team.

Gonna update this a pinch to say "attacking creatures".

Fling your creature, deal some damage! Here Top Swap is used as a way to be like, "Yeah buddy, there's more where that came from!" Because of the nature of needing to sacrifice creatures in order to fling, this is gated partly on having other things to sac.

There's a few differences between this and Fling. The Top Swap mechanic filters, so it should definitely not just be Fling with upside. It also maybe doesn't want to hit "any target"? Being able to just, abyss your opponents is annoying to deal with. So this version hits only face... though maybe it should also hit Planeswalkers, I'll go edit that in.

It's also a Sorcery! Does this seem like it'd be safe at Instant? "Turn three I hit you with my hasty creatures; on your end step I fling one at you; on turn four I hit you with my hasty creatures, thing fling." That play pattern needs to make sure it doesn't dominate too much. We also don't want to have this just blank removal by being a reusable Fling every turn.
