Redid wording
I think that's best
WHat I omitted "when" entirely to make a replacement instead of trigger, but word the replacement so that the replacement is optional.
"If Feast's QUail would deal combat damage to a player you may prevent that damage. If you do,..."?
Technically, "when you would deal combat damage" doesn't make any sense, as far as the game is concerned. The trigger might go on the stack... but the damage would 'resolve' before the ability did.
I think Mindstab Thrull has a better template for what you're working with. Don't look at the image of the 5th edition card. It's current wording is:
"Whenever Mindstab Thrull attacks and isn't blocked, you may sacrifice it. If you do, defending player discards three cards."
Doesn't combo with trample like yours does... but I doubt you were going for that anyways.
SecretInfiltrator: It's supposed to be a replacement effect on a trigger.
dude1818: The creature as-is has no evasion.
Reasonably poweful, I'd say, you sacrifice this creature and get some +1/+1 counters for a mana cost that might outright create those counters on other spells.
> I thought that the damage would be automatically prevented if you chose to sac the creature, but then I actually didn't know, so I made sure to include that clause.
Well, what would happen with regards to the damage would depent on what kind of ability this is. You don't seem to have decided between replacement effect and triggered ability based on the hybrid wording.
That seems very powerful, esp if it has evasion
See Jetstream Aeronaut. Included "may prevent that damage." I thought that the damage would be automatically prevented if you chose to sac the creature, but then I actually didn't know, so I made sure to include that clause. The sac should come with the damage prevention on the other cards.
See Sirocco Elemental.
See Khunis Bellow-Beast. Aerial mechanic test. Dive is easily black and maybe red too? The problem is dive is limited only to aerial creatures (perhaps descend would be better so that people wouldn't confuse this dive with diving while already in water). O The restriction of supertype and color probably limits this mechanic too much.
Imagine a crocodile's rising from the water to grab a bird. Image am thinking of trying aerial vs. aquatic.
See Vanseeli Guard. SkyMechanic #1 concept is reversed Submerged. I want the world to be only sky and sea. I do not want to use Aerial or Aquatic basic lands, as Wizards seems to regret making basic snow lands iirc. I don't think flipping Submerged is the way to go. SkyMechanic#2 concept is like more airy, so you can enhance with spells easier, but doing so messes with the creature's airborneness.
Honestly trying to create and define these supertypes without having to rely on basic lands is stumping me.
Fwiw, both aerial and aquatic would encompass all five colors. All aerial creatures should be implied to have flying, but as that would mess with balance and everything, flying would simply not appear in the set.
It's supposed to be a triggered ability.
Is that meant to be a triggered ability or a replacement effect?
See Bannered Behemoth. Unlikely I'll go this route for BR mechanic.
See Marshalling Polkovnic.
If you went for the static effect, you could make it;
(As long as you cast a creature spell this turn, you may cast this spell for
less)
The issue with the current reminder text is that you cannot have a hidden card (e. g. in your hand) utilize a triggered ability.
But you can have a static ability in its place:
> "(As long as you control a creature spell, you may cast this spell for
less.)"
Since you cannot cast a creature spell normally with a spell on the stack this wording also can be considered to implicitly give flash.
If the triggered ability worked no flash would be necessary either since being cast as part of the effect of an ability always overwrites timing restrictions, if triggered abilities worked at all.
Maybe you can actually make it more like splice instead i. e. pay an additional cost and add this creature spell to another creature spell.
