Title: Mechanic shuffle
Post by: Birdbrain on January 07, 2013, 12:44:29 PM
If you were to move a mechanic/effect from one color to another, which woul you move and why? Use your knowledge of the color pie in the description. And how would that color use that mechanic

I would move drawing into white. Because social animals are generally the most intelligent. And with interdependence, comes shared experience and wisdom. Thus, they can come to conclusions they couldn't otherwise come to on there own. So I would make it like {airborne aide} or make it so you have to tap a certain number of creatures to do it.

I accidentally posted before I was done making the post. It happens often

So...I guess then if drawing ever ended up in white, you would HAVE to tap creatures in order to do it...something like

{W}{3}
Our shared experience

As an additional cost, tap any number of creatures.

For every 2 creatures you taped while playing this spell, draw a card.

Counters for black. Because screw all other colors.

I mean basically. I've been playing four and five color decks lately, but if mono {B} was viably competitive, I'd drop everything else in a heartbeat.

That would be so broken, though:
Mono-white weenie with draw?
{Mentor of the Meek}?

One out of thousands and thousands of cards. The only other black counterspells are {withering boom} and {deathgrip}. And those are situational.
