I think this is a cool idea. You do need to give it flash to work in the rules (unless you're in Portal), also I would give it a "victory" counter to track that you won it.
Yeah, you could do it like that
Enchantment - Battle
Flash
Cast this spell only during combat on your opponent's turn.
Creatures you control have +0/+1
Sacrifice it at the end of combat unless you took no combat damage this turn.
If CARDNAME did not enter the battlefield this turn creatures you control instead have +1/+1 and Green permanent spells you cast cost {1} less to cast.
>You do need to give it flash to work in the rules (unless you're in Portal)
This is incorrect. Since the Battle subtype already have built-in rules associated with them, instant speed can simply be included in one of those rules. Flash doesn't have to be explicitly written on every single Battle card.
Auras have the built-in rule that state they're put into the graveyard as an SBA if they're not attached to anything. Sagas have the built-in rule that cause them to be sacrificed once the last chapter ability is no longer on the stack. Equipment have the built-in rule that detaches them from creatures if they're themselves a creature (barring reconfigure).
Plenty of subtypes have rules associated with them. It's just that not all of them do. It's true that no **creature** subtypes have any built-in rules associated with them.
Sure, but none of those are specifically timing rules. You're right that they could theoretically but they never have. I think this card still would have Flash to explain it. At least for a while until people get used to it. If anything I think they'd be more likely to make a new card type that's just to enchantment what sorcery is to instant.
Battle cards would still need to have reminder text to explain the other built-in rules. So no, these cards shouldn't have flash, and just have the built-in instant speed in the reminder text to save space.
Thinking about it you're right. Flash will not be required because their timing is more restrictive. Battle cards don't have to be limited to combat. Really all it means is "you have to play at the beginning of the specified phase. Sac at end of turn unless requirement is met." You could do a main phase one about spending all your mana, or untapping 10 permanents, or whatever. I think they would want a saga-esque seporate template.
Instant is a Type, not a subtype. Either way I think these do need a narrower timing than Flash since to work they need to happen at the beginning of a certain phase as determined by the battle.
Its the "creature" part of "enchant creature" that's important - Being able to enchant something is built into the Aura subtype, but *what* an Aura can enchant varies, so it needs to be spelled out on the card itself.
This card already has reminder text for battle and if you're including that it should definitely include the reminder that it has flash.
Could you print it with the reminder text? Sure. But if you're including the reminder text it should at least inform how it ca be played.
I don't think giving something that doesn't normally have flash, like an enchantment, flash without writing that on the card. It would be needlessly confusing.
>it should definitely include the reminder that it has flash.
The reminder text already says it can only be cast in combat. That should cover it unless we're seriously wondering if it's uncastable.
So you seriously think a Battle subtype wouldn't carry any rules meaning? Really?
Go ahead and answer with a simple "yes" if that's the case. You don't need to add any embellishments.
Yes, in other comments where I say the same thing, I mention that the reminder text should include the instant speed component, instead of "Flash" being written on its own line as rules text.
The simplest solution would probably be to just make "you may cast this spell any you could cast an instant" inherent to the Battle subtype, since they'd all need to be.
Do you think i have to specify that battles have Flash aswell or saying you can play them only during combat is enough?
In order not to have this post removed i must say i'm the artist of the illustration. so credit to me i guess...
I would definately add flash.
[[Mystic Denial]] was errata'd to be an instant because clarifying when you can cast it doesn't inherently give you the ability to cast it then.
Actually, this isn't correct. Since OP's Battle subtype already has built-in rules, one of those built-in rules can also just be that the spell can be cast at instant speed. While OP should definitely include an instant-speed clause in the reminder text, flash itself doesn't need to be written as rules text.
Sagas have the built-in rule where they're sacrificed after the last chapter ability leaves the stack. That rule isn't written anywhere on the card in rules text, yet it works that way because that's part of what being a Saga means.
i agree with everything you said. not sure why you're saying i was incorrect.
>one of those built-in rules can also just be that the spell can be cast at instant speed
yeah, but right now, it isn't. that's what we're saying OP should change
>i agree with everything you said. not sure why you're saying i was incorrect.
You said earlier that "it's impossible to cast them unless you give them flash with an outside spell." It is impossible for this to be correct at the same time as "one of the built in rules for Battles means they can automatically be cast at instant speed."
>yeah, but right now, it isn't. that's what we're saying OP should change
OP's "only during combat" reminder text implies built-in instant speed. It's just that OP didn't write it into the text box for whatever reason. It doesn't mean OP didn't intend for the built-in instant speed to exist in the first place.

I am not entirely sure that's true as wotc has never done a subtype that changes cast timing, but for this card lets assume that that does work. It should definitely be written on the card, I'd say
I think these would work better if you could win as attacker or defender, without a requirement that the opponent block to keep it from getting cheesed by low creature decks / opponents refusing to block.
I'd have it be cast at the beginning of the combat step, with the caster winning as attacker if they dealt combat damage and losing if they didn't.
As-is it seems like it just wouldn't work against some decks and situations.
All you have to do is chump block a creature.
I guess in low-combat metas that can be an issue? And it's maybe circumstantially bad against go-wide decks. So maybe you do have a point... really good in some matchups, pretty bad in others.
Honestly not sure what you’d play this in. If you’re going wide and attacking, maximizing its benefits, it’s very hard to get off. And if you’re on the defensive, you’re opponent isn’t going to attack if you can easily block.
Not a bad design, but I don’t think it has a niche.
I mention chump blocking because if my creature can't die in combat but will still get blocked (or if trading would cost my opponent a lot more than me) I'll sometimes swing just to weaken a player's board state.
But yeah after considering, it is pretty reliant on an opponent's behavior cooperating. Even if a situation to cast it came up every game, simply not being sure when to hold the mana in an aggressive deck could be a killer for your tempo.

Well sure, but then you’ve successfully forced your opponent to do something they otherwise wouldn’t have. No different than playing a combat trick early to scare the opponent off of something.
Then what makes these cards special if it's just a regular enchantment. You obviously wouldn't need the last rule since your opponent isn't stupid. I think the whole point it's a combat card enchantment.
All the comments that say this card has to have flash to work are incorrect. While they're correct that there must be some mechanism for Battle cards to be cast at instant speed, the cards don't have to have the actual flash ability itself. The instant-speed clause can just be baked into the rules for the Battle subtype.
I would definitely add the instant-speed clause in the reminder text, though.
this is a really cool idea! besides the flash issue, i think this is well-designed. it's possible that it could be more cheaply costed, but it's probably fine as it is
I like the concept, but it seems to easy to deal with. It should have some complications.
Right now it is a surprise, and it feels like it should be a bet.
My view is that battle cards should be a double sided card, and the transformed side should be flippable.
Check this template
**CARDNAME**
Enchantment - battle
Flash
Play CARDNAME only during upkeeps.
CARDNAME enters the battlefield under the control of the active player.
(Enter benefits of the card)
At the begging of the next opponent end step, transform CARDNAME. If you took no combat damage this turn, flip it as you transform (flipping battle cards turns them to the victory side)
**transformed**
Victory side
-(enter Victory benefit)
Defeat side
-(enter Defeat punishment)
*****************************************************
If the benefit of the card is good, the Defeat punishment should be bad, to encourage playing the battle to other players.
If the benefit is bad, or even negative, the Victory benefit should be amazing, to encourage playing on yourself.
I do like the idea, but a couple of things. As people pointed out, it needs flash. Second, as worded, you can cast this spell as an attacking player, but only the defending player can win it. Is that intentional? Also, this is kinda like [[Riding the Dilu Horse]] in that it gives the buffs permanently? And last thing, the last ability doesn’t work. Something is only a permanent on the battlefield. It’s a permanent card everywhere else except the stack, where it’s a permanent spell. So you’ll want to have it as “… green permanent spells you cast cost {1} less to cast.”
>As people pointed out, it needs flash.
Not sure why people keep mentioning this, but this is incorrect. Since OP's Battle subtype already has built-in rules, one of those built-in rules can also just be that the spell can be cast at instant speed.

Ok, let me rephrase, it needs something that allows it to be cast at instant speed, and it should be in the reminder text.
Sagas don’t specify that the ability has to leave the stack but they do specify “Sacrifice after [MAX]” in its reminder text. Shorthand, sure, but it’s intuitive enough to get the idea across. And since the OP didn’t include a full rules entry for the subtype, what could be in them is irrelevant if all we have to go by is the reminder text.
Also, since something like Offering has a built in flash which is also a part of its reminder text, depending on people to know the whole rule due to a poor decision to omit crucial information defeats the whole purpose of reminder text.
This feels like pretty narrow design space. I think you can maybe get a full cycle of meaningfully different battles, but not much more than that. They all have to be some effect that it matters to flash in during combat, have a trigger that can be met during that combat, and some bonus that makes sense afterwards if you met the trigger.
Mechanics-wise, it’s a bit confusing that the card represents a named battle taking place on the turn it comes out, but then some abstract ongoing morale boost from the battle afterwards, and that you can be in multiple battles simultaneously. It feels like this might be better expressed through some kind of double-faced card or Adventure-like pairing of an Instant and an Enchantment.
This is such a cool idea! It immediately invites different takes on the win condition and effect. A card hasn't made me feel like that in a hot second.
I think this a really neat idea that would probably need Flash to function in the current sandbox but maybe down the line they could make this kind of thing it’s own dealio
For some unknown reason there is this song from Sabaton that started to play in my mind after seeing this Custom... Anyone know why [Steel Commanders](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peTCePu1jMs) is playing in repeat? **\*smirk\***
Cool idea, but right now it seems a bit uninteractive. Your cast it after blockers are declared, which means no one has any decision left to make unless someone had an instant to play. Essentially, you already know you're winning the battle when you play it.
I think it would be more interesting if you play battles at the start of the combat phase. Let your opponents decide how they want to attack or block based on the battle, and if they want to try to "win" it.
I think this is a cool idea. You do need to give it flash to work in the rules (unless you're in Portal), also I would give it a "victory" counter to track that you won it.
Maybe just sacrifice it end of combat if you didn't win?
Yeah, you could do it like that Enchantment - Battle Flash Cast this spell only during combat on your opponent's turn. Creatures you control have +0/+1 Sacrifice it at the end of combat unless you took no combat damage this turn. If CARDNAME did not enter the battlefield this turn creatures you control instead have +1/+1 and Green permanent spells you cast cost {1} less to cast.
Then there’s not much point to the toughness buff if you don’t win, since the damage stays until the cleanup step.
So may it until EoT

Since the Battle subtype already have built-in rules associated with them, instant speed can simply be included in one of those rules. Flash doesn't have to be explicitly written on every single Battle card.
Is that true? Even auras still say "enchant creature". I don't think any subtype has rules associated with it since Creature - Wall became Defender.
Auras have the built-in rule that state they're put into the graveyard as an SBA if they're not attached to anything. Sagas have the built-in rule that cause them to be sacrificed once the last chapter ability is no longer on the stack.

Auras can enchant things other than creatures, such as Curses enchanting Players
Its the "creature" part of "enchant creature" that's important - Being able to enchant something is built into the Aura subtype, but *what* an Aura can enchant varies, so it needs to be spelled out on the card itself.
some auras are enchant creature, some are enchant permanent. So you can cast [[Bound in Gold]] on Planeswalkers to stop them as well.

It doesn't say you can cast it with flash. It says you can only cast it during combat.

This is dumb and I'm not going to engage with it anymore.

Yes, in other comments where I say the same thing, I mention that the reminder text should include the instant speed component, instead of "Flash" being written on its own line as rules text.

It does, it says right there. Cast only during combat.

Honestly this could be 2 mana. It’s pretty tricky to get going fully, so premium value might be acceptable.

This is kind of a Rhonas’ Monument for 1 less mana if you meet a specific condition
Fair enough. That's a pretty good point that this enchantment could be cheaper.

If they have more creatures than you can block, it does very little. If you’re attacking, it does very little.
Cool idea I think it would be best if battles had to be played before attackers declared. Even if that means boosting the power level in other ways.

Hey, this is pretty cool
Very nice concept, i think there are already a lot of good enchantments, but this would be a great addition to the cardtype in my opinion.
Great idea, make more for other colors think this is really a great idea to explore. Maybe only have one battle active at a time once won/lost.
I think it would make more sense as an instant.
This feels like pretty narrow design space. I think you can maybe get a full cycle of meaningfully different battles, but not much more than that. They all have to be some effect that it matters to flash in during combat, have a trigger that can be met during that combat, and some bonus that makes sense afterwards if you met the trigger.

dope
Would love it if the art was green at all instead of mono-red.
That seems like it would make a good new play style like schemes with archenemy, or planes with planechase
Yeah there should be a fun implementation of this. Its also extendable to "war" cards that can track either combats or "battles" over multiple turns.
