Red Alert + Ring of Evos Isle
"Everyone can case everything they can cast, all at once" and "One of your blue creatures grows and is evilly haxproof, albeit at a cost of keeping mana open"
Oh now, there's an interaction. Having to keep mana open is, frankly, a real problem. What say we remove that little difficulty?
Kinda abusable with ETB creatures, but that (and
mana costs) is also kinda the POINT; so let's just make it cost enough for that to be a valid use. Has small memory issues; but I don't think I mind. Name it after the famous altar and done.
So that's...
> Sacrifice a creature you cast before your last turn: Add mana equal to its mana cost to your mana pool. Any player may activate this ability.
Fun with Scornful Egotist ;) Works okay on things like Delraich too. The "cast" criterion is an odd one, but does mean you can get around reanimation shenanigans.
Heh... I guess that's true. Play a lot of discard on round 2, 3 and 4, this on 5, and next turn cast Avatar of Will, Avatar of Will, sac, sac, Fireball for 16.
Well; that and stylistically I wanted to have it be "Urk, I should have held back mana, wish I hadn't cast that. Ok; Thanks Phy, I guess I didn't. Cool. Counterspell now."
Is it meant to be "cast during/since their last turn", or "cast before their last turn"? Are you meant to be able to sac creatures with summoning sickness, or ones without? At the moment it's ones without, but that doesn't seem to fit what you're saying.
