Creature – Human Heretic
: Target creature loses a color. (A creature with no colors is colorless).
Colorless creatures you control have first strike.
Concept of heretics for cult world. This would be at least part of a cycle.
I added the Heretic type to link these creatures, though there may be no direct boon for the heretic type, since heretics will be identified by lacking color. Instead, heretic is just a job title, because it looks nice I guess. Unlike dividing animal species up for creature type, I can't justify Heretic as a creature type to myself. Upstart? Dissenter?
Unfortunately, Void ended up as a keyword, and there may be enough of these to ask "Why didn't you use Void" if I had a line of rules text making these creatures ETB without color themselves.
So the set this card concept would be for would care about the color of spells and permanents. You can take away colors from opponent's creatures so your opponent doesn't get the boon The giving your own colorless creatures vigilance was a secondary feature for when you were running out of stuff. Scrap that, it's first strike, not vigilance. The removing color with a mana-intensive activated ability was too much to just get vigilance.
