this was meant to be a reference to nantuko elder so i'm glad that's what came to mind!
could be right about the costing, maybe i'll make him a 2/2 with two counters? definitely agree that as it is right now he's not a strong card. hard to reference older cards these days; power creep is a hell of a drug.
EDIT: changed him to 1G like you suggested; not a whole lot of point making him a 2/2 when the goal isn't to attack.
good points on this card. i agree that other cards do this sort of effect better, but i have a feeling that within the context of this set blinking could be a strong effect. it allows creatures who've used all their counters to come back with more, and enables tithe. it might enable synthesis as well, not sure how the rules interact there (would want it do, so i might need to do some tweaking).
i have nothing against using a reprint in theory, but for now i'd like to use my own card so that i can cost it appropriately depending on how strong blinking is in the set. also i'm doing some small nods to cards from odyssey/onslaught block with the names, and i liked this one (it's a riff on Profane Prayers).
looking to do the former rather than the latter. thanks for clearing that up for me, templating isn't my strong suit.
thanks for the welcome, i'd been managing my own design skeleton in an excel sheet but this seems like a much better system overall (and being able to wake up in the morning and see valuable comments like your own is a nice bonus!).
you make a good point about the colour alignment; kinda just churned this out last night while thinking about how to make a planeswalker that works well on this plane. from a storyline perspective i would like nissa to be GW (GW is effectively the "good" faction, BU the "bad", with red split across the two) but i agree that this doesn't do a good job of being a GW planeswalker.
thanks for the feedback, will take it on board.
Seems curiously worse than Nantuko Elder. I suggest you either take this down by 1 mana (turning it into a delayed Burning-Tree Emissary) or increase the payoff by 1 mana.
Seems curiously worse than Cloudshift / Momentary Blink.
EDIT: Oh, I missed that this can be used offensively, like Turn to Mist / Otherworldly Journey. It's harder to use the insta-blink kind of blink effect offensively than the slow-blink kind, though.
Welcome to Multiverse! Hope you have fun here :)
I love the look of this kind of planeswalker. A Clockspinning / Gilder Bairn effect is great for a planeswalker's +1, Doubling Cube is a very nifty effect for the -2 as well - reminiscent of Nissa, Worldwaker's middle ability, but more fun :) And making some Fungal Behemoths is a hilarious ultimate.
I have only one suggestion: it looks to me like this could be monogreen rather than gold.
Do you want the last ability to work when you use the Process ability of this card or when this card gets growth counters from another cards Process ability?
For the former it should be worded "When you process CARDNAME, [effect]" as on Bant Sojourners or Decree of Justice. For the latter I guess it would have to be "Whenever CARDNAME becomes the target of a Process ability, [effect]" but I might be wrong here.
