Hey million...your mechanic seems like a cross between landfall and level up. You must be a fan of Zenkidar :P

Funny thing is I wasn't playing when it was release. I'm only in standard right now, I font even know that many cards from then. Lol I'm on they same track as wizards with luck I could predict the next mechanic

What if for white there mechanic is a spell mechanic, and if a creature entered the battlefield that turn it becomes more potent like

{W}{2}

Gather together

Put two 1/1 white human creature tokens into play. If another creature had entered the battlefield this turn, put three into play instead

I like that white gets stronger from its allies but I think it still needs work

Birdbrain

What if it was four instead of three?

I think that's a step in the wrong way that particular card isn't the problem I see. Casting two things a turn is. And since one has to be a creature it's even harder

Birdbrain

One last suggestion...what if white creatures had effects that triggered when another creature entered play?

We want this set to work with OTHER sets right? So if most the creatures in this set go with the mechanics in this set and the mechanic NEEDS the those abilities to work well then it will NOT be a good set bc it would be so hard to find synergy with cards from OTHER sets!

no need to shout. Everything I suggested so far does work with other sets

Birdbrain

I've got it! You put the ability on creatures, and when you cast a creature they gain abilities...wait...that's like landfall...

Edit: maybe creatures become cheaper for each creature played before it during the turn? Possible...but I could see some abuse if its not done right...

sorry bird :-\ didn't mean to try and hose all your mechanics of just was throwing it out there bc that's one of the main reasons I hate kima whatever.

Birdbrain

I wasn't upset you were trying to hose my mechanics. I WANT you to hose my mechanics, even if you think what I came up with is good. Always shoot holes in what I come up with to make them better.

I was just saying your tone read like you were yelling

Birdbrain

On a different topic...I think I got the general feel of white in flickers description, I just can't pin it down to a mechanic that doesn't seem like a convoky mechanic...

Edit: what if you could tap creatures to give an attacking or blocking creature a boost?

Edit: or what if when a creature dies, you can tap a creature to shuffle it back into your library...would need to be balanced somehow if it was used

Edit:or maybe when a creature with the mechanic is played. You can tap two creatures to put a token into play

Birdbrain

Or maybe they have ETB effects. And when a creature comes into play, you can choose to flicker them? It would have to be an ETB effect that's under the curve slightly though

Edit: unless you payed one white...or tapped a creature or something...because its broken otherwise

Edit: yes. This is what I propose as the white mechanic. A flicker mechanic.

Birdbrain

And it's control friendly, because it encourages you to slow the game down, and take it slow

Edit: change the wording to when a creature comes into play from your hand though...
