@The-DM I think thats the idea.
So what i'm picturing is reworking of ripple as a creature ETB
So Chant 4 on a Mystic creature could look like
When White-Lotus Mystic enters the battlefield, you may reveal the top four cards of your library. You may cast any revealed Mantra cards without paying their mana costs. Put the rest on the bottom of your library [maybe graveyard?] . You could also nerf this by putting them into your hand rather than free casting.
Doing this would make the mechanic distinct, fresh, and interesting, but it would necessitate lower cmc mantras with individually weaker effects.
Imagine
White-Lotus Mantra 1W
Chant 4 (When you cast this spell, you may reveal the top four cards of your library. You may cast any revealed cards with the same name as this spell without paying their mana costs. Put the rest on the bottom of your library.)
When White Lotus Mantra enters the battlefield, you gain 1 life for each Mantra you control.
1W, Sacrifice White-Lotus Mantra: Scry 2. [I think this is what a mantra should look like without chant.]

While that does seem neat, I don't think it'll translate to fitting on a card very well. For something like a common, or even an uncommon its way too wordy and complex. However, take away the Chant and you have a really nice little shell for a bunch of Mantra enchantments.
If you want chant to be a mechanic on Mantras, i'd suggest to changing type to Sorcery. That way its a little more flexible in terms of formatting. And you don't need to have a permanent style effect that you'd want on an enchantment.
I'm still voting for Chant as a Mystic tribal ability.
Mantras themselves could stick to having an ETB effect (X happens for each mantra you control) then a simple sacrifice activation effect.
I think this would be most adaptable in formatting, and deepest in interaction IMO
1-Just an occupying force, not the actual Brits.
2-Yeah, I agree with everything you just said.
Could you explain to me what a Giovverse is, @LordTachanka123 ?
But here's how the skelebones will go:
250 base cards(More will be added)
10 common of each color
10 uncommon
10 rare
10 mythic
We will then do some other stuff to fill out the rest @The-DM @Rayne-Lord
I'm saying this because you only say "I see" when you see to well.
My current set of Al-Qara is only 200 cards. That gives me room to tell a sequel story, as well as an achievable goal. Take a look at some of the smaller sets in terms of structure. Since it seems you wanna do a tri-color scheme I recommend Alara Reborn as it's tri-color, and pretty small at only 145 cards. You could expand from there.
dang I hate mobile
A while ago, @shadow123 made some cards. The cards made your creatures into enchantments. This kind of reminds me of avatars, so perhaps we could use this new design space?With your permission @shadow123 of course.
