I would recommend using the Narcolepsy template to avoid all the unnecessary triggers.

This sets looks like it has a nice foundation set up for it.

Maybe you could look for inspiration in other steam punk custom sets done over the years. The one that I always recall is called "Archester: Frontier of Steam". I think twobrid works really well to represent steam.

The triggers were intentional. Clockwork, the main mechanic of the set, triggers whenever the permanent becomes tapped, so this card gets a bonus interaction there.

... but the triggers that would be skipped are the ones that don't do anything? If a permanent is already tapped, it doesn't 'become tapped' again.

> 603.2d Some trigger events use the word "becomes" (for example, "becomes attached" or "becomes blocked")...

> Example: An ability that triggers when a permanent "becomes tapped" triggers only when the status of a permanent that's already on the battlefield changes from untapped to tapped.

Right. So if the creature untaps during the untap step and is immediately tapped again during the upkeep, that will make clockwork trigger. Which is what I want.

Either of us is missing something. The key phrase here is interviewing clause:

> ..., if enchanted creature is untapped, ...

Meaning that the Aura's ability won't trigger if it wouldn't do anything since the creature is already tapped. Let's repeat this: so the only difference is that the Aura's ability won't trigger when it wouldn't don't anything and we won't have to click through an unnecessary trigger in MTG Online or whatever. It wouldn't prompt any less actions/triggers regarding the enchanted creature's state such as being tapped/untapped since the ability wouldn't affect the creature in any way if it's already tapped - whether the Aura's ability triggered or not.

What we're missing is that I didn't bother reading Narcolepsy. I assumed you were suggesting Claustrophobia.
