I think we actually discussed it in a previous CCDD, if I remember correctly.<br /><br />The problem I noted with it was - how many effects can you think of that you wouldn't want to play 4 of all in a turn? Here's what I can see:<br /><br />- Legendary creatures (Except for ETB triggers but that seems fine since you're still spending cards)<br />- Stuff that grants a non-stacking keyword to everything <br />- Stuff that destroys / bounces / taps / exiles everything (Untap is too good alongside tap abilities)<br /><br />Now how many of those are really common effects? Not many. Even Patrician's Scorn is undeniably uncommon nowadays.<br /><br />It's such a fun mechanic, but just unfortunately not doable as an actual keyword.Inanimatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13739701478436262740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-56278965012807786942014-11-20T22:37:55.628-05:002014-11-20T22:37:55.628-05:00Important difference between this and cascade: cas...Important difference between this and cascade: cascade is a card-advantage mechanic, while this is not.<br /><br />One possible templating fix:<br />Ridealong (If the last spell you cast this turn cost more than CARDNAME, you may cast CARDNAME without paying its mana cost.)lpaulsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07772860908442278112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-85744518694124601282014-11-20T15:30:41.281-05:002014-11-20T15:30:41.281-05:00Guys, are we forgetting this Future Sight, future ...Guys, are we forgetting this Future Sight, future shifted card?<br /><br />Patrician's Scorn (COM) 3W<br />Instant<br />If you've cast another white spell this turn, you may cast Patrician's Scorn without paying its mana cost.<br />Destroy all enchantments.<br /><br />It basically has Ridealong without the CMC wording.

Ridealong Bandito...What about something like this?<br /><br />Ridealong Bandito 2G<br />When you cast Ridealong Bandito, if it's the second spell you cast this turn, you may pay 0 rather than pay its mana cost.<br /><br />I don't know if that templating works, but I'm sure there is a way to do it within the rules. Or we could require the first spell be a certain color (like you did) to keep color pie shenanigans at bay.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11393054869276886509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-14292433603106008072014-11-20T11:34:32.321-05:002014-11-20T11:34:32.321-05:00I've made a very similar mechanic, as follows:...I've made a very similar mechanic, as follows:<br /><br /><b>Mkalimlima Guide</b> {3}{R}<br />Creature - Elemental Scout (C)<br />Trailblaze <i>(Each other spell you cast this turn costs {1} less to cast.)</i><br />3/3Inanimatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13739701478436262740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-18412503645853572752014-11-20T11:32:09.102-05:002014-11-20T11:32:09.102-05:00That is pretty unexciting.

And that is the absolute best case? <br /><br />I can't even abuse it by casting a bunch more (not that I want to make a storm mechanic, but I think that is where Jay is going)? <br /><br />Note: You could say "When ~ ETBs, add G to your mana pool." and have almost the same effect. <br /><br />I cannot imagine this as a keyword.
