Trying a new idea - scalable tribal enchantments

Custom Cards forum

The idea is simple: Tokens get X, nontokens get X+A, and legendaries get X+A+B


Heart of Tarkir

Enchantment

Dragons you control get +2/+2.

Nontoken Dragons you control have haste.

Legendary dragons you control have "Whenever this creature attacks, you may draw two cards. If you do, discard a card at random."


So the +2/+2 benefits tokens, nontokens, and legendaries.

The haste is given to only nontoken dragons.

And only legendary ones have the looting effect. Although there do exist legendary tokens, such as with Verix Bladewing, or perhaps a la Helm of the Host. In this event they get the +2/+2 and looting, but no haste.

You all could always make your own, using this template for different tribes, or other Dragon ones :3

Sengir bloodline

Vampires you control gain lifelink

Nontoken vampires you control gain deathtouch

When a creature dies put a +1/+1 counter on each legendary vampire you control

I could see that being formalized into an “X Tier” spell... such as “Creature Tier enchantment” or “Artifact Tier instant” or whatever. That would allow people to get accustomed to how they work. Tier one: all creatures/artifacts/permanents, tier two: all token creatures/artifacts/permanents, tier three: all legendary creatures/artifacts/permanents. Maybe just two tiers, for regular and legendaries? For simplicity’s sake? Very fun idea!!

Mine is a bit weird but I'll give it a try.


Compleation Realized

Phyrexians you control have "Pay 2 life: Put a +1/+1 counter on this creature".

Nontoken Phyrexians you control have Persist.

Legendary Phyrexians you control are Indestructible.

This effect does not apply to Red Phyrexian creatures.

"Finally" said Jin-Gitaxias

"Glorious perfection" said Elesh Norn

"And it shall be spread all across the multiverse" said Atraxa


No way this could fit in a real card but the idea is pretty neat

I really like this concept! Here's an idea for a blue version.

Tidal Boon

Enchantment

Merfolk you control get +1/+0

Non-token merfolk you control have hexproof

Legendary merfolk spells you cast can't be countered
