Well Jacob and I just cleaned some truly awful cards out of the master list, but some had some very good aspects. We changed a few, but some had to be killed. Crumbling Asylum was one such card. However, the name and flavor text were terrific, so I'm going to resuscitate them for this card:

Crumbling Asylum
W
Enchant World
Players may not be the target of spells and effects.
Long ago, wizards built the Asylum to hold the world's madness. Now, their mighty wards begin to fail.

Holding mad chaos BACK is the opposite of what a red card should do, but it's one of white's core beliefs. Now, insanity is usually equated with forced discard, but I felt that a card that narrow would be boring. this also is like sequestering each player in his own little padded cell.

Current wording:

Crumbling Asylum
W
Enchant World
Players may not be the target of spells and effects.
Long ago, wizards built the Asylum to hold the world's madness. Now, their mighty wards begin to fail.

As the original creator of Crumbling Asylum, I support this 100%.

in accordinance to the flavor text, mebby there should be some sort of cost to go along with the card.


At the beginning of your upkeep, you may pay 1 life.  If you do, players cannot be the target of spells or abilityies until your next upkeep.  If you don't, sacrifice Crumbling Asylum.

Wording may be messy...

No, I really don't want to mirror the crumbling part in the mechanics.

If anything, the crumbling part would be reflected on another card.
