I'm confused. Also, does each player get to choose the blaze counters? "each upkeep" is too ambigious. Needs to be "each players upkeep" or "your upkeep".
Either way I like the idea of the card, and again, it fits the scenery very well.
Eh, this really doesn't explain anything significant other than who chooses the counters, all the other questions remain unanswered and you made a link in this thread that links to this thread ._.?
It's a bug in the forum. The link had a quotation mark in it which the forums translates weirdly and breaks the link, and broken links just go to the thread you're in.
If you quote the link you can see that actual link in the url tag.
Also, who chooses it isn't really relevant to this card because it's chosen at random.
Do other incarnations of Escort give protection against other "colors" or is it only colorless? Is the creature that "provides" the escort also protected from colorless? Just that the wording seems a bit open to interpretation to me, though I could be wrong.
Escort is definitely interesting.
Escort is an ability word like Battalion that has an effect when the condition of an escort creature and exactly one other creature both attack is met.
When refering to "those creatures" that means both of the attacking creatures refered to previously. So in this case both would gain protection from colorless creatures until end of turn. This allows them to punhc through enldrazi spawn and evade larger Eldrazi.
Consume the Lonesome seems underwhelming to me, just costs a mana too much or so, if you compare it to Murder, which is also a common.
Great name though, fits the scenery perfectly.
This card is supposed to be clunky removal designed to help the limited environment. Like Sip of Hemlock, in an enviroment with a buildup to huge eldrazi you cannot have the removal being too efficient. This also pushes players to not just rely on a single creature (and thus use escort) while reinforcing flavorfully that in this world those who try to survive alone are have very little chance against the Eldrazi menace.

I assure you that the wording is correct. "Each upkeep" is a very common wording. eg: Magmatic Force. Also anything chosen at random is going to be the same regardless and therefore you don't have to specificity a player to do the choosing. This card is also a callback to one of my favoriute cards: Obsidian Fireheart.
Glad you like it. Have some more: Halimar MindwiperU

Planar Burning better have (the land continues to burn after Planar Burning has left the battlefield) as reminder text or I want my money back.
Besides that, all good. I'm excited to see what else comes out of EOZ!

I don't think the reminder text fits....
Which makes me a little sad.
However I'm glad you like what your seeing, any comments on the new escort creatures I posted up?

what about something like this:
seagate librarian | U
creature - human wizard (c/u)
escort - whenever seagate librarian and exactly one other creature attacks, draw a card.
1/1
in second thought, you probably already thought on somenhing like that
Whoever controls the enchantment does the choosing, as it doesn't specify otherwise (as is the case with Magus of the Abyss).
And as for the wording, these cards would like a word with you.

Here are some clues.

And to the card Crypt of Agadeem.
