make a card whose name is a line from the Depeche Mode song Stripped make a 1cmc hybrid cantrip. cantrip being defined here as a card that draws another card as it resolves (or on a slight delay if you're nasty) and "1cmc" and "hybrid" being defined in the obvious ways.

grades start on friday. (although with Thanksgiving there's a good chance I'll be slow about it this week.) go!

Would Dream Salvage count or not?

I would say that dream salvage is a draw spell, not a cantrip.

What about Visions from Beyond for the cantrip criteria? Like conditional card advantange

hmm. tough call but as a general principle I think it's better to say yes than no on corner cases, so I'll say that's ok because you're still likely to just cycle it in the early game.

Richard blinked. The devices on his desk now hummed an alien tone. The research papers piled upon his desk a daunting task. He lifted his gaze to the clock. It was now the 24th. His deductions told him two days had flew by with a blink of an eye, his growling stomach told him it was finally time to eat.


The previous version is more elegant but I think this tells a story better.

Investigate. The next ability you activate this turn that isn't a mana ability costs less to activate.
"I have never seen such beauty before in my life. I hope to experience it again someday."
—Vivien, of Zirda



Activated ability mana reduction doesn't have the firmest color definitions. As far as I can find, there are only 10 such cards with color(s) in their mana costs, and of those, 4 are multicolored. 3 are red, 4 are green, 2 are white (none mono-colored), and 5 are blue. I bring this up mostly to wonder if it's a mechanic that doesn't necessarily have color definitions beyond specific interactions. For example, Bladegraft Aspirant works for equipment, Blossoming Tortoise works for land, Forensic Gadgeteer works for artifacts, etc. Ultimately, I decided to make it as a cute Zirda reference, since I love that companion, but ultimately, I think it makes more sense as a card. Or probably as a artifact with an ETB.

The tribes of Ezari do not mark their graves. In time, a bloodvine plant sprouts from the earth, both memorializing the dead and protecting them as they rest.
3/3

Does mine count as a cantrip even if you can choose draw+investigate?
