That version would deal answer trample, but isn't strictly better since it'll trigger the other creature's ETB effects. It completely screws auras, though, and that's a deal-breaker for me.

But that's not unlikely to be a real decision very often, especially with low blink costs (and these days, players often have the mana to cast a spell while keeping mana up for BOTH Ætherling and an additional counter, so, eh.)Pasteurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02058331124653341978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-10417796347805547752013-09-11T14:41:29.116-04:002013-09-11T14:41:29.116-04:00Blink to hand (with or without a cost) could defin...Blink to hand (with or without a cost) could definitely work.

Then you can just write stuff like<br /><br />1U: Blink Clockturner. (Exile it, then return it to the battlefield under your control.)<br /><br />I suggest the immediate-return version because that makes it slightly less like regeneration (you can't use it to dodge Wraths). But the 'until end of turn' template is also very attractive because it's so concise and easy to understand.lpaulsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07772860908442278112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-36838753711188427452013-09-10T17:08:45.524-04:002013-09-10T17:08:45.524-04:00I don't know how well the gustcloak ability wo...I don't know how well the gustcloak ability would actually play in Blue. It seems like it's best when you can attack with a bunch of creatures without evasion. If the gustcloak creature gets blocked, that means one of your other creatures probably got through. Blue doesn't normally have that critical mass of evasion-less creatures to attack with though.James Bartolottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14429344295256063879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-78757498153946945182013-09-10T16:39:07.882-04:002013-09-10T16:39:07.882-04:00I think as a blue keyword... why not keyword gustc...I think as a blue keyword... why not keyword gustcloak and make it evergreen, then give it to blue? it encourages blue to do some attacking but also makes it easy to defend at the same time. it's NWO friendly, and makes interesting gameplay!TehWERRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05796150712853674684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-61544384266141835222013-09-10T15:59:29.909-04:002013-09-10T15:59:29.909-04:00I like this.

Alternatively, you could do away with the mana cost and make it a return-to-hand trigger: Blink (when this blocks or becomes blocked, you may return it to your hand.). Despite the free-ness, you still have shields-down moments outside of combat where it can be easily killed.James Bartolottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14429344295256063879noreply@blogger.com
