Motion Sickness

[Ephraim]

Motion Sickness

Enchantment

Creatures with haste can't attack.

This is just a dinky little card that popped into my head tonight. I thought to myself, "If 'Motion Sickness' were a card, what would it do?" Motion seemed to be an obvious reference to Haste and this spell followed shortly from there. It isn't intended to be good at all. It's just intended to be a cute trick that blue can use to tick off the occasional red mage. I know that the "can't attack" mechanic has migrated to white, which is also an enemy of red, but this simply didn't f*eel like a white card to me. I suppose I could change it to "Return each creature with haste to its owner's hand," but given that they have haste, that seems kind of pointless. Any other suggestions regarding how we could pick on hasty creatures?

Current Wording:

Motion Sickness

Enchantment

When Motion Sickness comes into play, tap all creatures with haste. Creatures with haste don't untap during their controllers' untap steps.

[Matt]

Tap them all, and they don't untap? That's pretty blue, and it makes sense, since they wouldn't get motion sick unless they came out and started running around. If my Lava Hounds just sits there, it shouldn't get sick, no?

[Ephraim]

Do you mean something like, "When Motion Sickness comes into play, tap all creatures with haste. Creatures with haste don't untap during their controllers' untap steps." If that is what you mean, should I include some clause to affect creatures with haste that come into play after this or should they get their one attack and then be tapped down as well? Or did you just mean "Creatures with haste don't untap during their controllers' untap steps." meaning that they get their one attack and then get stuck tapped down?

[Matt]

"When Motion Sickness comes into play, tap all creatures with haste. Creatures with haste don't untap during their controllers' untap steps."

That one.
