welcome, welcome! this is my library. feel free to take and/or use ideas or mechanics you see. i'll just post random cards and stuff.


i'm unsure what the best wording for this effect would be, any suggestions?

roll a d4. target creature has base power and toughness equal to the result. that creature loses all abilities. that creature gains flying if the result is 1. the same is true for 2 and vigilance, 3 and menace, 4 and trample.

That might be too much text on the card. Trying to clean it up you want to lose all abilities before setting p/t. It's easier to read and the normal format.

"Roll a d4. Target creature loses all abilities and has base power and toughness equal to the result. If the result is 1, that creature gains flying. The same is true for 2 and vigilance, 3 and menace, 4 and trample."

Neither of these colors really get vigilance or trample so cutting those and making it even/odd flying menace would clean up the card.

Not vigilance, yes, but red gets trample plenty.

Interestingly enough, blue is allowed to have trample technically, usually only once in a *blue* moon on cards that absolutely need it like Phantasmal Dreadmaw. But for all intents and purposes blue doesn't get trample.
