Graveborn is a creature type, though it has only appeared on tokens made by two cards.
That being said, Graveborn still seems to suggest the entity is undead. I figure it's either give Skeleton fans a boon, since Skeleton doesn't inherently suggest animation, or just use Corpse. While I'm more than willing to create creature types to represent animal species, I'm less keen on doing so for a dead body.
"Player" vs "opponent" was not my complaint about the card. I just mistyped my example. My issue is with "counter" vs "can't be cast"
Graveborn isn't a creature type. The undead types are skeleton, shade, specter, spirit, vampire, wraith, and zombie
Isn't the idea behind The Incorrutible that it doesn't rot and turn into a Skeleton? It's pretty much the opposite of a Skeleton.
Graveborn is a real existing creature type.
Skeleton isn't the right creature type, but they wouldn't be a zombie and I don't feel like making corpse a creature type.
@dude1818- I figured that, especially at mythic, most modern designs aren't symmetrical and only downside opponents.
But while the core concept was inspired by Spell Snare, I acknowledge that when put on an enchantment the ability seems white.
@SecretInfiltrator- I wasn't fully thinking through on the wording; the should just say "Whenever an opponent casts a spell with a mana value equal to the number of Threat counters on ~, counter it."
Art I would picture a scowling mage (front view, probably human) who has their wand drawn standing (or possibly floating since magic) above a person (back view, also probably human) who gives off cowering vibes and has also done something negative (maybe a Name-Plate Blaster)? Both characters should be wearing clothing that would fit a Wild West theme. Since Magic cards now tend to use colors in the art to match the card's color, the wand should either be blue or emanating blue from it. A big open blue sky should be in the upper background. Blue should accent the scowling mage's outfit (such a turquoise bolo tie and blue accents on their boots).
So... how is the intended interaction with proliferate for this one? I ask, because this is certainly not a wording I'd expect to see on a canon card.
Also a really hard concept to get a good blue-feeling art description out of.
I feel like this would be marginally more fun if it said "your opponents can't cast spells with mana value X," because then you remove the opportunity for someone to cast accidentally cast a spell into it and get it countered. Misplaying around on-board tricks always feels terrible
Otoh, then it feels more white than blue
removed extra word
Has an unnecessary misplaced "target".
I'll have tolook up how relevant untapping Monuments at instant speed is, because usually I expect theost relevantartifacts forthis to be creatures.
Removed "Whenever a creature you control dies, creatures you control gain Ward until end of turn." and replaced with new ability
typo
Was missing p/t
Obligatory "This effect can’t reduce the mana in that cost to less than one mana."?
