  @Biblio2 Unus doesn't make shroud good. He does sort of make Clash good, but hte shroud just makes him untargetable, like every other card with shroud ever. He doesn't utilize it.

  Using old abilities in a different way does not make a bad ability "good" - to make it good, you need to "fix" it - Banding, for example, is a garbage mechanic no matter how you twist and turn it... It needs to be re-written

  @FblthpTheStormCrow Does it have to be a keyword? Because there are some interesting underrated mechanic, but without a keyword.

  @Flatfish Which?
  I'm curious!

  @chronostrike Guess I'm the only one who likes those mechanics.

  @FblthpTheStormCrow It's hard to like shroud when hexproof exists, so I knew I had to come up with a way to take advantage of the double-edged sword. Thus, this card gives you the option to protect your own creature or prevent an opponent's creature from being buffed.
  
  My original idea was an enchantment that made creatures with heroic also gain shroud so that heroic wouldn't be usable, but I figured it would be too niche of a card.

  For example:
  -the Moonfolks from Kamigawa and returning lands to hand
  - Snow permanents
  - enchant land from REturn to Ravnica block (yeah it was a subtheme)
  
  and many more.
