With the big Eldrazi, this becomes a bit crazy. Ulamog becomes UU: Destroy target permanent and shuffle your graveyard into your library, Kozilek draws four cards, and Emrakul gives you an extra turn. I just don't know if this should be made, even at 7 mana, because there are so many potentially broken combos. If you have Adarkar Valkyrie or Cauldron of Souls, for example, all of your creatures suddenly cost only UU.
You reckon? Many games an extra 1/1 is irrelevant, and in those cases it sits there in your hand being an unkillable Essence Warden (but at extra cost and only your stuff).
Yeah, that sort of thing could play quite nicely. The only worry I have is that - in general - the benefit of having an additional warm body on the battlefield is quite large. I'm not sure how often you'd choose to Augment this rather than just cast it (when it will probably chump a big attacker and - effectively - gain you that much life).

commented on the cardset ~Stop~
Augment is obviously very similar to Splice; but, unlike Splice, it potentially has huge memory problems. That creature over there? Yeah, don't forget that it actually has the text of this card in my hand as well.
Now, if you limit yourself to ETB effects, you'll be ok.

Sensible. I was thinking hard-coding Rally to Soldiers restricted it to basically only appear in white. This way it can appear in all colours.
changed to Rally Soldiers you control get +0/+1
Changed to Rally - If you control 3 or more Soldiers, other you control are indestructible.
testing rally
"it is sacrificed" => "sacrifice that" in reminder text
Funky card. Pefectly usable with Nekrataal or Flametongue Kavu; somewhat insane with things like Massacre Wurm or Woodfall Primus. But at a 7 mana enchantment, that's probably not broken.
added some reminder text - hoping it looks ok
spells => cards
It's an expensive blue enchantment that does the mechanic from the set!
Ehhm, yeah, okay. I guess so. Atfer all, I guess I wouldn't chump on an Essence Warden if I could help it.

I don't know why, but I think I prefer "swamp tap" to just
.
may as well just have it be
: Target player.....
Actually makes it stronger. You could make it
: to tone it down.
