Over the Rainbow   Instant Return target creature to its owner's hand. Until end of turn, creatures you control gain protection from that creature's colors. *** I figured that this card was technically worse than Akroma's Blessing, so it wouldn't hurt to cost it this way. I'm not really sure where the idea came from. I was thinking about [card]Singe[/card] and with it being Invasion week over at wizards.com, I was in the mood to create a "colour matters" card. The name is probably temporary, but it's 3:10 a.m. I'm not at my most creative when I am sleepy. |

YEs, but I'm kind of hesitant about the name.

I like it, but couldn't you return one of your opponent's creatures and make your entire army unblockable (and untargetable), all for ? Assuming, of course, that your opponent is playing a mono-coloured deck, or only has creatures of one colour on the board... I guess Akroma's Blessing does that too... |

Yeah, in limited, you always play at least two colors. And in other formats obviously most decks don't care about blocking. |

A card having a reason to be played should be seen as a argument for the card to be made, not against it. If you plan on using it as such a finisher, its low cc is almost irrelevant anyway, you aren't likely to alpha strike on turn 2 in Limited. |

How is "Rainmaker's Blessing" for a name? Blessings commonly grant protection and the Rainmaker is a blue-themed demigod that I dreamed up for a handful of cards I created before (Rainmaker's Wrath, Rainmaker's Whimsy, and Rainmaker's Fastness.)

Rainmaker immediately reminded me of Soratami Rainshaper, which also has the ability to protect your creatures. I like the name.

I think this should cost 1WU to be congruent with recoil.

That isn't a terrible suggestion. The mechanics are strikingly similar, now that I look at them. What do other people have to say about this? |
