Restless Fervor Enchantment (C) Convoke Whenever a creature you control becomes untapped, it gains +1/+1 until end of turn. |

I think a problem is enchantments are hard to remove and so, an enchantment that has enough impact to be playable, with a global effect vs a one-shot effect like Banishing Light or an Aura, may start feeling too good at common. |

As Pauper was the last format I played when I played Magic, persistent enchantments at common already exist and are somewhat balanced for the format (I say somewhat as while Tortured Existence, Impact Tremors, and Pestilence are very much pushed for common, there is a lot more degenerate stuff in the format). That said, not all commons are made with Pauper in mind--in fact most are made with Limited in mind, and that's something I'm not touching with a ten-foot pole as power creep and the isolated nature of the format compared to more eternal formats makes it difficult for me to accurately assess just how good a common would be. But I also want to create so . . . Consuming Despair Enchantment (C) When ~ enters the battlefield, manifest dread. Whenever a creature card is put into your graveyard from anywhere, each opponent loses 1 life and you gain 1 life. Bite by bite, the House eats away at any glimmer of hope that remains. |

Muster Enchantment (C) Creatures you control gain +0/+1. Oh no, a card that makes blocking better in any way whatsoever. Whatever shall we do. Military Deception Enchantment (C) Whenever you declare an attack, tap target creature. Well that'll make defending less trivial! Runway Strip Enchantment (C) At the beginning of combat on your turn, target creature gains Flying until end of turn. Block this! |

Bloomburrow only has 7 common non-creature, non-land permanents, only 4 of which aren't either removal or token-makers. |

But also, it doesn't. There's only two creature auras in Bloomburrow. One of them is a removal spell. There's no common equipment. That's not a new normal, and if it is, **** that. What even is that. What are we even doing here. Duskmourn is more reasonable. It's got 14 nonland noncreature commons, and only 3 of em make tokens or manifest. Although it's also an outlier, it's got Rooms as a mechanic. And somehow there's still only one buff aura, and only one equipment. |

This is wild to me. I guess I haven't drafted in a while, huh. I think auras and equipment are very important for the feel of the game, because they let you combine cards in creative ways, and invest into things that have different value curves than creatures. (Auras are shorter-term with haste as a principal advantage and 2 for 1 as a principal disadvantage, equipment longer-term, mana hungry but permanent.) |

Post subject: | Re: We require more common 'global' enchantments |
I think the average set going forward will probably still have a common equipment. Bloomburrow might have been a little tighter than usual in the common colorless cards since it has two common changelings for the set theme in addition to the mandatory mana fixing stuff. They also might not have liked how it interacted with Valiant, because one equipment lets you get all your triggers every turn. Duskmourn is probably at the opposite extreme in terms of noncreatures because it has an enchantment theme. Also, there's War Squeak and Feather of Flight, plus Sugar Coat and Kitnap as removal, so a little more than that. EDIT: I guess maybe common equipment is rarer than I thought. I remembered Gold Pan but I hadn't played most of the last several years' formats before OTJ. |

Common equipment is not rare, but most of it are "leonin skimitar with a set mechanic that works once" That's sort of a long term investment and not really at all a creativity enabler. |

All due respect to Theros, I still believe an enchantment set can work without leaning so heavily on enchantment creatures. Training Course Enchantment (C) Whenever one or more creature enters under your control, choose one—
Community Classes Enchantment (C) Whenever you mill one or more cards from your library, choose one—

Fire Training Instant Fire Training deals two damage to target creature. Research (Exile Fire Training. You may cast Fire Sword from Exile.) Fire Sword Enchantment - Aura Researched (This card can only be cast after being researched) Enchant Creature Enchanted creature has +2/+2 and menace. Intended to be set of basics spells, that can then be cast later to help push the game to a close |

Not a global enchantment tho |

Post subject: | Re: We require more common 'global' enchantments |
Oops. I misunderstood the assignment, lol. But.. it could still be useful concept.. to "gate" the enchantment behind another spell. This allows you to not have to worry about displacing key limited card types, or worry about the card disadvantage of global enchantment (or Aura). Disruption Tests Instant (c) Counter target spell. Research (Exile this spell face up. You can cast the lower half of this card as if it were in your hand.) Vortex Armor Enchantment (This can only be cast if it has been researched) Creatures you control have Ward . At this point I'm just ruminating on how I might build an enchantment set. |
