Priest of Remembrance
{W}
Creature--Cleric
1/2
{W}: Remove two cards from each player's graveyard. This ability can be activated only if there are at least two cards in each player's graveyard.
"The deceased shall rest in peace knowing they dwell within our recollection"

I created this because I feel that having a card like that MIGHT help an aspiring WW deckbuilder alot. It is a threat in itself and graveyard hate for welder/dragons/etc.
I like this because it can also be randomly topdecked and act as a threat.


Edit: Changed the wording and the flavor.
Edit: Deleted the "Once each turn" part.
Edit: Changed the name and corrected grammar error.
Edit: Changed the flavor again.
Edit: Added 1 toughness

The text should probably read:

{W}: Remove two cards from each player's graveyard. Play this ability only once each turn and only if there are at least two cards in each player's graveyard.

I like this idea. It takes a black card, like Withered Wretch, and gives it a white spin by making it affect everybody. I think you could make it a little bit more powerful, though. You could remove either of the restrictions and it would still be okay, I think. If you remove the "only once each turn" clause, there's a wording (I don't remember how it goes) that means that the ability fails upon resolution if the condition isn't met at that time, as well as when you pay for it.

I'm not really sure what the flavour text is supposed to mean. It definitely seems out of white's flavour for it to claim the dead. The bit about "the package" doesn't really make any sense at all.

Did you know that Red is the color or art and music and passion? Combine that with Green, the color of nature, spiritualism, and community and you get a hippie commune of drum circles, dreamcatchers, and recreational drug use. Let's see that win a Pro Tour.

I think the restrictions are fair enough, but I might think about the "once each turn" thing.

And yea you are right about the flavor text, I'll change it.

This needs a new name. The current one is too "black".

Also, there shouldn't be an "a" between "remove" and "two".

The flavor text is still a little awkward.

Hmm hows the flavor text now? I think the name, at the moment, is very white.

1/2?

Not that that would make this thing broken. Just better. And there have already been Nova Cleric and Devoted Caretaker (I believe) that were 1/2 and still had decent to good abilities.

And we would all love a good creature, wouldn't we?
