Added ": " after loyalty cost.

Doesn't this wreck monocolor decks, especially White or Black ones? I guess an uninteractable The Abyss every other turn doesn't sound that bad, but its more about the principle of it dying if anything.

Eh, maybe, idk. It did see play in one game at least. It didn't get that many complaints since it doesn't do that much. For comparison, Ulmo, Lord of Waters's second loyalty ability got instant complaints when it was still an ability with variable -X loyalty cost that targeted X creatures.

"Saccing" a nonland permanent is also arguably worse than causing to sac a creature: you can keep your creatures if you keep chucking useless artifacts, auras or enchantments on the board.

This card just doesn't feel right to me. I'm sorry I don't have much more constructive to say than that.
