CCDD 020117—Cosmic Orrery

Cool Card Design of the Day
2/1/2017 - A couple different angles on "everything costs half as much." Halving is an unfortunately awkward thing to ask your players to do. Stupid odd numbers.

  1. Maybe instead of cost reduction do a rebate?

    Whenever you cast a spell, add X mana to your mana pool in any combination of colors of that spell, where X is half that spell's converted mana cost, rounded down.

    Whenever you cast a spell, put X charge counters on CARDNAME, where X is half its converted mana cost rounded up.
    Remove a charge counter from CARDNAME: Add C to your mana pool.

    1. Chip suggested on Twitter:
      "Is there a way to approximate "half" without rounding?
      Each spell with converted mana cost 6 or more costs 4 less."
      That's a pretty clever angle.
