Still think messenger should use the "until" wording.
I also have a conflicting interest with Cato's card since I want to fit Nemesis Engine in here eventually, and it's too similar.

Mown.

It is from the mechanics thread, I guess I should include the reminder text?

Fleeting (Whenever you cast an instant spell, you may return this permanent to its owner's hand.)

In that case, I would probably make it "If ~ would die, exile it until an enchantment enters the battlefield under your control instead."
Either works fine for me. I didn't do it for that reason because I felt the 'instead' is placed very awkwardly.

Votes so far:

Mown - 5
Cato - 3
Steinhauser - 2
Confused - 1
Knifethrower - 1
Shazzeh - 1

So we are going ahead with this?
Well, okay then. In that case, I want you guys to help me establish white's identity on Frostwynd.

White common that helps describe a facet of a region or faction in Frostwynd.

Mastery - If you control an artifact, another creature, an enchantment and a land when Summit Monk enters the battlefield, exile another target creature you control, then return that card to the battlefield under your control.

In the early days of the Starstill, they refused to give in to the weathered extremes. After years of resilience, they have mastered the peaks, but have forgotten themselves. They do not wish this fate on any others.

Seems too good. This is Glorious Anthem with upside for less. Maybe if it didn't count itself it could work, but even then it's pretty good. Also it's not really a common. Maybe if it was an aura that only hit one creature.

Seems really weak if it only targets one creature. I'd bring the cost down to and add some kind of bonus like first strike so it's decent with just one or two enchantments.

When ~ enters the battlefield, target creature gets vigilance until the end of turn.
The heat beneathe the foot of a mountain valley in the depths of Frostwynd was enough to melt the snows and provide a checkpoint for all those who are foolish enough to continue with their journey.

It was supposed to say tapped creatures... and I'm still fiddling with the cost.

I'm inclined to agree.

So would permanents with mastery always not count themselves? It seems like that would undermine the purpose of the mechanic.
