Something we haven't done yet...

Aren't we trying not to make this blue vs green? Try to avoid colored mana in keyword costs

mine works for every color except black. Because black is self-indulgent

I like your keyword. Can we change it to "If you control three or more creatures that do not share a creature type, X" because you could possibly need only 2 creatures for an ability to trigger. Just my 2 cents

yes. I accept that change and thanks. Why don't you think up a mechanic?

How about for the progress mechanic, Scroll #

When this spell is cast, exile it with # scroll counters. You can remove a scroll counter from this card whenever you cold cast it and only once per turn to copy this spell except for this ability.

The idea is based off of the basic idea behind a spell scroll; free cast, but only for a limited time.

Plus, I see a mythic with Scroll X somewhere in this block's future.

could work if done right.

Please explain that in simpler terms.  I'm lost

think suspend, only you copy the spell when you remove a time counter

It's copies go on the stack, without the scroll ability

[ntheawsome]

Looks like we have been stickied. And about the Scroll mechanic, you can choose when to remove a counter to place the copy on the stack.

if its broken, we could add a cheap mana cost to remove a counter. It would be cheaper than the spell itself. But I think it should be play tested before its tweaked. Would this work on common cards?

MaRo said new mechanics have to be able to work on commons. And they do common play tests with mechanics

So if you cast a spell like giant growth, with scroll 3
Would you be able to let the spell resolve, them exile it with the scroll counters, or would the spell not activate, but just exile it.

[Birdbrain]

Maybe you could pay a kicker cost for the scroll cost...?

It would be cheap though

HORRARY WE GOT STICKIED, thanks for the support of the thread.  Keep up the good ideas!

Because scroll reads "when you cast this spell" the spell cannot be countered, but the original spell can't resolve.

so it will stay exiled after all counters are removed? I thought it was a suspend like mechanic

Ok it is broken, we should a mana cost to cast it, but it is smaller (in most cases) then the original CMC.  Except for a mythic, which you can cast at anytime with out any small mana cost.
