Prolonged Campaign
1WW
Enchantment
Whenever a creature attacks, put a fatigue counter on it at end of combat.
Each creature has -1/-0 for each fatigue counter on it.

Some flavor text talking about how a war drags on men's morale would be nice. It would also be nice if it was in first person or the narrative voice, because I like those the best, but it's not a requirement.

Current wording:

Prolonged Campaign
1WW
Enchantment
Whenever a creature attacks, put a fatigue counter on it at end of combat.
Each creature has -1/-0 for each fatigue counter on it.

Suggested Flavour Text:

After weeks of battle, we finally pressed the raiders back to the mountains. When the ambush party struck us that night, we could barely lift our weapons to defend ourselves.

That's good. What about this though: I'm imagining a scene that both armies are so tired that where once were well-trained fighters, now they can only mindlessly bludgeon each other. Do you think you could make that into something as good or better than what you've already done?

I'm trying to imply that the reinforcements were ample to erradicate the enemy army, without actually saying so. Grammatically, this seems clunky, though.

Edit: Let's try this, instead...

Also, I don't know if there's any room for more card text, in addition to these kind-of lengthy quotes, but it might be worthwhile to say 'When Prolonged Campaign leaves play, remove all fatigue counters from all creatures.'

Finally, just a very small templating issue, I think that when a card modifies power and toughness, creatures get the modification, rather than have the modification (ie: the card should read, "Each creature gets -1/-0..."

Damn, you're good at this. I'll use one of those for sure, or maybe a mix; but right now I'm tired, so I'll do it tomorrow.

kind of close to Nightmare Chains, but different enough to be workable.  Just don't put both in the same set..
