Okay, so I have been working on a graveyard-based set off and on for a little while and thought I'd run some cards by to see what people think. Any comments on power level, better wording, etc are welcome.
I'm looking to slap Glory-like abilities onto cards at different rarities. I've been looking at cards with flashback and spellshapers for some time, but this is a direction I'm thinking of going now.
Mankey1R
[U]Creature - Goblin Warrior[/U] [C] 1R, Discard a card: Target creature can't block this turn.
Activate this ability only if ~ is in your graveyard.

~ deals 2 damage to target creature or player. 3R, Discard a card: ~ deals 2 damage to target creature or player.
Activate this ability only if ~ is in your graveyard.
Whiskerdoo2UU
[U]Creature - Drake[/U] [U]
Flying 2U: Target creature gains flying until end of turn.
Activate this ability only if ~ is in your graveyard.
3/2
Blah1G
[U]Sorcery[/U] [R]
Put a 3/3 green centaur token otb. 3GG: Put a 3/3 green centaur token otb. Activate this ability
only if ~ is in your graveyard and only as a sorcery.
Okay, so it's not so much the cards I'm pitching as the idea and I'm looking for more, but feedback on the cards is appreciated as well.
Blah is actually supposed to be a normal rare, but that's irrelevant. Also forgot to put "Discard a card" in the cost of the last two cards.
Anyway:
Yeah, I think you're right about the complexity issues. Makes sense not to put them on commons for that reason. I was looking for a mechanic that could replace flashback, but I guess if these cards were as common as I want flashback cards to be, it could be pretty awful.
With this in mind, I could see putting this sort of thing onto rares and mythic rares just because it's still a gy matters set.
Anyone have any other ideas?
