What I meant was, what can you design using that ability? |

Something I came up with while thinking about Magical Maestro:
Disproportionate Retribution     Instant--Trap  You may cast this spell without paying its mana cost if a spell or ability an opponent controls caused a permanent you control to leave the battlefield this turn.
For each opponent, that player chooses a permanent type from among permanents they control, then exiles all permanents they control that aren’t of the chosen type. |

This is prolly a really bad idea:
The Oddity  Legendary Creature--Eldrazi Scion Companion—Your starting deck contains no cards that are capable of producing mana.
Flash
This spell costs  less to cast for each permanent your opponents control.
When you cast The Oddity, if it’s the first spell you cast this game, you win the game.
Sacrifice The Oddity: Add  . 1/1 |

Sacrifice The Oddity: Add . 1/1 It's a terrible idea - you'll be long dead before you can do anything if you're trying to aim for winning with it, and even if you aren't... you'd have to be running a deck that consists solely of 0-cost artifacts and artifacts with Affinity/Improvise for it to remotely work. |

Sometimes, you'd rather draw land than two random cards:
Gaea's Wisdom   Sorcery  Target player draws two cards.
Two basic landscycling  (, Discard this card: Search your library for up to two basic land cards, reveal them, put them into your hand, then shuffle your library.) |

Multiplayer? With four opponents, average of 5 permanents per player. That's still considered early game. It's best use case is probably multiplayer games of 3+ people - see Primeval Protector and the Undaunted cycle, so the cost reduction and potential pseudo-ritual is not inherently bad That said, I disagree with the Companion restriction and the win the game condition because they both make you and your opponents not play Magic. If you put the Oddity down as your Commander, you are either getting hated out of the game very fast or durdling around not doing anything because the Oddity has to be the first thing you play. If you try to use it as a Companion, well, to be quite frank, there's pretty much only one thing you can do with it that'll likely work and that's jam 4x Force of Will 4x Force of Negation (Because you set it up in a way that not even moxen are allowed), and usually if Force of Will is legal in a format there are much faster and efficient ways to win the game and fight against it. (Plus, playing free spells goes against its wincon, so either you don't play your deck at all or give up the wincon and try to play magic.) |

Just came up with something a little SCP-flavored:
The Tale of Forgetting  (As this Saga enters and after your draw step, add a lore counter. Sacrifice after IV.) The Tale of Forgetting can be your commander. I, II, III--Each player exiles the top X cards of their library, where X is the number of lore counters on The Tale of Forgetting. IV--Exile The Tale of Forgetting, then return it to the battlefield transformed under your control. Legendary Enchantment--Saga ------------------------------------------------------------ Devourer of Memory  Legendary Creature--Nightmare Horror Leviathan
Trample, prowess Whenever Devourer of Memory enters the battlefield or attacks, return any number of non-Aura permanent cards from exile to the battlefield under your control, then do the same for Auras. Until end of turn, you may cast any number of instant or sorcery cards from exile without paying their mana cost. Devourer of Memory's power and toughness are each equal to the number of permanents you control but don't own plus the number of cards you don't own in exile. If Devourer of Memory would leave the battlefield, exile it and return it to the battlefield transformed under your control instead. */*
Does anyone know where the saga template is? |

It was linked several times recently in cajun's templates thread because some users were searching for it. It's probably also linked somewhere on the first post of this thread.

Recently it was mentioned on Blogatog that there’s no rules reason why an Aura Saga couldn’t exist. Hero’s Journey Enchantment — Aura Saga I - Put two +1/+1 counters on enchanted creature. II - Enchanted creature gains lifelink and vigilance until your next turn. III - Exile enchanted creature, then return it to the battlefield with three +1/+1 counters on it. |

It's a bit weird to first put +1/+1 counters on something and then flicker it. Even if you put counters on it afterwards. |

Especially since that by flickering it, the aura falls off. That feels super strange.

Fresh off my mind-presses is a card that, before Ikoria, I would've said belongs squarely in Un- territory, even considering my longstanding disagreement with WotC's aversion to multiple counter types on the same object:
Madax-Dhan Legendary Creature--Hydra Wizard Madax-Dhan enters the battlefield with one of each type of counter on it.
Plus and minus counters on Madax-Dhan don’t annihilate each other.
: Move a counter from Madax-Dhan to target permanent or player. Activate this ability only as a sorcery. 5/5
To save you all the trouble, the plus and minus counters all add up to +1/+1, so Madax-Dhan would be a 6/6 when it enters the battlefield. |

Terrible Idea Theater: Krark the Gambler - Legendary Creature - Goblin Shaman Haste You always win the first coin flip you make each turn (if an effect cares about what face that coin lands on, you choose which face you want).: Flip a coin. If you win, Krark deals 2 damage to any target. If you lose, sacrifice Krark. 2/2 |

If you lose, sacrifice Krark. 2/2 Speaking as someone who's tried SaffronOlive's Krark's Thumb Luck Test in Modern, I think this is actually a pretty good idea. The deck in question tends to be pretty efficient if you can land one Thumb, one Gambit, and one Clash, so improving its consistency for at least the Gambit would probably help it go a long way. |

After losing against two Gyruda, Doom of Depths decks in a row, the last of which also ran Fiend Artisan, I realized that there were a couple of cards that needed to be made:
Memories of Gaea Enchantment If Memories of Gaea is in your opening hand, you may begin the game with it on the battlefield.
Flash
This spell can’t be countered.
Hexproof, indestructible
If a land card would be put into a graveyard from your library, put it onto the battlefield instead. -------------------------------------- Memories of Gaea outlive those who remember her.
Fog of Despondency Enchantment--Aura Enchant creature or planeswalker
Flash
Enchanted permanent loses all abilities and can’t have or gain abilities.
As long as enchanted permanent is a creature, it gets -2/-2. |

Serrated Thrinax Creature--Lizard First strike, deathtouch
When you sacrifice Serrated Thrinax, destroy target permanent. 3/3
Not quite damage on the stack, but close enough. |

Flash, flying, haste Sacrifice ~: Destroy each creature that dealt damage to you this turn. 5/5 This feels more than anything else. Ok, yes, haste would make it , but aside from that, it's very much in 's wheelhouse of "If you hurt me, I'm gonna make you regret it." |

The "caring about how much life you lost this turn" is a mechanic I've been working on for a while and is definitely a black thing, especially when it doesn't care what the source was and you can sort of "cheat" it with cards like Lim-Dûl's Vault. I've generally put it as primary in black and secondary in red. The last ability works in white though. Other cards like that I've tried: Instant Add equal to the amount of life you've lost this turn Enchantment - Aura Enchanted creature gets -X/-X where X is the amount of life you lost this turn. |
