was missing cardname before the first "red"

2022-01-20 10:55:24: Sorrow edited Ashen Allegiance:

"red and white creatures" to "creatures you control that are white or red." The previous implied only {r}{w}, but the intention was always {r} or {w} creatures, not only dual+ colored. This change was also matched to the black part. Also {1}{w}{w} to {2}{w}

Can this use anchor words or something similar to make the wording a bit more approachable?

Anchor words wouldn't make sense; prayer isn't modal choice independent of the board. This spell can be white, be red and white, white and black, or white, black, and red depending on what you do (technically, this could be blue or green, but becoming either blue or green offers no benefit for this card).
However, I wouldn't mind simplifying the card so that it no longer cares about the colors of the creatures that get the boon. "Creatures you control get +1/+1 UEOT. If ~ is red, creatures you control gain trample UEOT. If ~ is black, creatures you control gain indestructible UEOT."

I was specifically also offering "something similar" as well. Maybe I want more something like leveler frames.

Just removing the color requirement to your creatures receiving the boon would already go a long way to make the card digestible though, so I'm all for that.

It also would encourage playing this in a three-colored deck rather than just either of the two-color pairs.

Buffs no longer care about the colors of the creature getting buffed, only about the colors of this spell
