@Gafratt01 What does Gem token do? Or can we invent our own mechanic of the token? - Tomigon

We've never done "Keyword Action" in Mechanix Challenge yet. If you don't know what that is, check this out: http://mtgsalvation.gamepedia.com/Keyword_action
*You can change the mechanic or its name as long as the concept isn't changed.
*Reminder text isn't necessary.
*You can remove "To _____, " part from reminder text. For example -
"{t}: Charge 4. (Put four charge counters on this permanent.)"
"Whenever this creature deals damage, loot 2. (Draw two cards, then discard two cards.)"
I've moved it down here to keep it from getting lost!
Apparate by @CrucibleOfHate
(Its owner shuffles it into his or her library.) - spells/cards/permanents
Apparate:
Yeah, I suggested that wording too, but he doesn't want to change it because new wording doesn't sounds like YOUR action. But I think it's ok to fix the wording in this challenge.
@kltmtg29
I can understand what it want to do, so it's ok! Maybe it should say what to do with those revealed cards. Put them back in the same order on the top? If it is wrong, let me know.
I think I need advice...like if this is too OP or weird etc.
Benign Woodland - transforms - Voracious Vegetation
Thanks for cool cards!
But I think you don't understand how to use keyword action.
-----------------------
Your Benign Woodland doesn't use bloom mechanic. It just uses bloom counters. My wording suggestion is:
"Whenever a non-token creature dies, you may bloom Benign Woodland.
Remove 5 bloom counters from Benign Woodland: Transform Benign Woodland."
-----------------------
Chromashift isn't an activated ability. My wording suggestion is:
Equipped Creature has "{2}: Chromashift."
Whenever equipped creature chromashifts, ................
Equip {1}"
-----------------------
If you still don't know how to use action keyword, I recommend you to check out example cards. http://mtgcardsmith.com/user/TheMechanix/sets/13738
Edit# Done, hope that is better.
