What could be some mechanics musician/bards could have.
No new keywords or thinga like that, but more like "when becomes tapp do this" or "gain controll of target creature as long as ... is tapped"
What ideas do you guys have?

In the way that a song can calm the soul, how about ": Target creature can't attack or block this turn."?

A kind of 'inspiring' song perhaps?

"When ------ Enters the battlefield, creatures you control gain +1/+1 and vigilance until end of turn"

seem like cool ideas.
However songs can have all kinds of effects.
Maybe one effect for each colour in form of enter the battlefield and tap effects.
Red oculd be gaining controll for a turn, blue is tapping/ no attacking, white id buffing, etc.

There are actually already a few musician cards in the game: Yisan, the Wanderer Bard, Elvish Piper, Piper's Melody, Satyr Piper, Talruum Piper, Elvish Bard, Joraga Bard, Druid Lyrist, Elvish Lyrist, Warbreak Trumpeter & my personal favorite: Devout Harpist. (Guess which instrument I play ;) ) Some of them seem similar to ideas you already have, but maybe you'll find some ideas from these.

How about a musician subtype with "Tap all musicians you control: For each untapped musician tapped this way, -do something- X2 times."

Blue can draw, green can ramp, etc.

I forgot about stuff like Serra's Hymn et al. Something with Verse Counters would be cool.

"When +++++ enters the battlefield, target creature cannot attack or block this turn. If this creature was already tapped when +++++ entered the battlefield, it doesn't untap during its controllers next upkeep for as long as you control +++++."

For those times when you cannot get a song out of your head.

""When +++++ enters the battlefield, tap target creature an opponent controls. If this creature was already tapped when +++++ entered the battlefield, it doesn't untap during its controllers next upkeep for as long as you control +++++."

  • Fixed the misleading first sentence.
