set needs a much stronger framework before i can really go any further with card design. going to play around with counter-based mechanics here, as well as draft archetypes for colour pairings

things you can do with counters:

• ETB with counters
• at the beginning of X, gain/lose Y counters
• remove/add X counters: Y
• whenever a counter is placed on/removed from a permanent you control, X
• if a counter was placed on/removed from a permanent you control this turn, X
• redistributing counters upon death ala modular
• if X, add/remove Y counters
  • X: remove/add Y counters

themes that make sense paired with counters:

• natural growth
• pursuit of power
• rituals that transfer power (!!)

mechanic ideas:

• ritual X (: Put X counters on Y, and it is possessed. Use this ability only if X isn't possessed.) "If X is possessed, it gains Y."
