Very simply, this card grants authority to your creatures to preach. Naturally, their preaching will be most effective on creatures predisposed to listen.

[Matt]

Could this be playable at instant speed (and of course with a commeasurrate cost increase)?

[Ephraim]

I'm rather fond of the ability that says,
"You may play Magisterium any time you could play an instant if you pay more to play it."

Of course, possessing that ability may require it to cost more anyhow. (See that [card]Rout[/card] costs more than [card]Wrath of God[/card].) I guess the question is this: Should this card cost all the time and be playable at instant speed or should it cost normally and have the additional cost to play it at instant speed?

[Matt]

The Rout mechanic was also only on sorceries, so far. I like it too but I think it's not right for this particular card.

[Ephraim]

Gotcha. {W} and always instant-speed playable it is. That gives it advantages and disadvantages comapred to Chastise, so I think it's about right. Anybody else have any comments on the mechanic itself?

What's the deal w/ the sharing color thing ?

[Ephraim]

What's the deal w/ the sharing color thing ?

Could you be more specific? Do you think it's a poor mechanic to use on a white card? Do you think it's a poor mechanic in general? Do you think that it's uninteresting.

I happen to really like cards that use colour as an enabler. It adds some flavour to the card and is a sufficient disadvantage that I can actually create a card that gives you repeatable, white creature kill.
