Cool Card Design of the Day11/30/2017 - Reborn is a keyword action that lets you enjoy enters-the-battlefield abilities of your permanents again, inspired by the discussion about augment/host, but most especially this comment by Wobbles.
Cool Card Design of the Day
Great minds think alike, I was just making a bunch of designs similar to this for my game.
ReplyDeleteThis is the kind of thing that would be far cleaner if ETB abilities had an ability word. In my own game, I use the ability word "Job--" but Magic would probably want something more serious like "Squirrelsplat--"
Very much so. As Pasteur pointed out, Battle Cry from Hearthstone makes this stuff so much cleaner. Magic could really benefit from trigger keywords for ETB, LTB, upkeep, combat, and EOT.
DeleteI really like these designs. The horn is particularly Mel-y. Tug Soul is really interesting, although I'd make the opponent figure out a way to kill their own creature rather than offering an easy out.
ReplyDeleteI literally imported that version of Tug Soul as well and decided not to share it only because the post was already so full of cards.
DeleteYep, it's a very fun mechanic. What kind of world does it suggest to you?
DeleteIf we stick with the word 'reborn,' perhaps a world experiencing time loop bubbles or a dream world. It's definitely more of a mel mechanic than vorthos. Any other world/flavor thoughts?
