Autumn Shelter
2GG
Enchantment
Creatures you control gain shroud.
G: Choose a creature you control. Until end of turn, the chosen creature can be the target of spells and abilities controlled by target player as though it didn't have shroud.
Cool flavor text remembering the existence of the Willow

This is basically an enchantment that takes the power of Autumn Willow and extend it to all creatures you control, thus the name of the card. This power is pretty big so I chose to cost it with double green in the mana cost so it can not be played easily by other colors. I don't know if it should cost 1GG or 2GG though.

Though long gone, the Willow's presence is still felt by the people.

This is Dense Foliage taken to the next step, and although I doubt it would see play in any format, I think it's a bad thing for magic as a whole.  Creatures are the centerpoint of this game, and reducing interaction between them doesn't seem beneficial as a whole.

This costing of this would probably be closer to 4GG.  2G to start, another G for it being shroud, another mana for it being asymmetrical, and another for autumn willow's ability.

I disagree; I tend to think Dense Foliage was over-costed.  I think I would actually be fine with printing this as-is.  Privileged Position was significantly better than this for only one more mana.

Malakai, making it cost 6 mana would be just wrong. Privileged Position would just be one million times better.

I looked that card up and died a little inside.

Would lowering the cost to 1GG be too much? I don't mind obsoleting Dense Foliage and Privileged Position has already done that.

I'm not certain we want to be that aggressive.  I mean, this is much, much better than Dense Foliage.

And no, Privileged Position does not obsolete Dense Foliage.

Could this be a creature with that ability?  Sort of an updated Autumn Willow?

I don't want to. It could be a Super Autumn Willow, but I just want an enchatment that fits in the Future Sight block. It's something like though the Autumn Willow (a legend), even long dead, still watches overall.
