How Devoted Are You?
How Devoted Are You?
Hello fellow cardsmiths. For this contest I would like to see you guys create cards that feature the Devotion mechanic. What is the Devotion mechanic? Devotion is a mechanic introduced in Theros, where it was connected to the god theme of the set, and has since then been revisited most recently in Theros Beyond Death. Here is some examples:
And here is one that I made:
Rules
1> No recreating already existing magic cards.
2> No art already used on existing magic the gathering cards.
3> New cards only please. Cards created January 24th 2020 or newer are the only ones allowed.
4> No derp or joke cards please.
5> Please submit entries only using mtgcs to create the card.
6> No limit on entries.
7> Cards can be of any type, but they must work with the devotion mechanic and state "your devotion to..." somewhere on the card(s).
8> Rules subject to change.
9> Entries will be accepted until Friday, February 21st, 2020 at 11:59pm.
Prizes
3rd place gets 3 favorites, their name mentioned in the hall of fame, a trophy, and a trophy favorite!
2nd place gets 4 favorites, their name mentioned in the hall of fame, a trophy, and a trophy favorite!
1st place gets 5 favorites, their name mentioned in the hall of fame, a trophy, and a trophy favorite!
Thats it! Good luck to everyone!! - sj

Oh, and I was the first one to do cost reduction equal to devotion, before WotC did it.
I also had a devotion themed submission here and @bnew07 gave some great feedback in his google doc here.
Ya, I'd thought about a card like that, but it would be difficult to balance. It's often a stronger Sphere of Safety, which is already a very good card.
Could work in mono White/Black, but has some interesting interactions when playing both (I'm thinking lifegain/loss triggers or some such)
Gods of Obscurity
