She is a scholar, but her calling is natural history and we needed a
Radiant.
Watermarks look good. Isn't shallan blue though? Always struck me as a bit of a nerd.
What do you think of the new watermarks?
Yeah...Maybe, we can have the Surgebinders' transformation trigger once they reach a certain number of investiture counters. This card could be a choose one kind of spell, choose between investiture, life gain, vigilance, etc.
First of all, I'm not sure if "a card that transforms into a Surgebinder" is recognized by rules so I don't know if that even works. Second, yes, it's too specific. CtG searches for a well-established type, one with 74 unique cards. As of the end of this block, there will be 9 surgebinders, so a card to fetch them will be far worse than CtG, which is a bulk rare to begin with. Maybe tie it to investiture counters?
Out of curiosity, what part of its current design isn't working? Is it too specific?
I like your idea, but I would rather have it directly tied to the Radiant cards. Your suggestion got me thinking: Move it down to uncommon, and have it transform target permanent?
Shardblades sound good for rares.
How about
for "You gain 2 life for each creature you control, then until end of turn, creatures you control gain vigilance and get +X/+X, where X is the number of enchantments you control."
Gaining life: Life before death.
+X/+X: Strength before weakness.
Vigilance: Journey before destination.
I changed it to hatching counters.
Would that really be useful, since most Radiants will be at least rare or mythic?
What about a Moonmist variant to flip Radiants, with an extra effect to justify rarity?
DFCs are fine at any rarity. SoI, for example, has 4 at common, 19 at uncommon, 6 at rare, and 3 mythic. I really like this design, but why investiture? I feel like that's not the most flavorful choice of counter, Chasmfiends don't really relate to investiture. Maybe a completely different counter? The rest of the card is very good and very flavorful.
