So I've been working on this set Dreamscape of Noctus and I need a better name for my Scour mechanic that mainly appears in UB.
Here is two examples of the mechanic:
Cloud of Doubts3UU
Creature — Illusion (C)
Flying
When Cloud of Doubts enters the battlefield, scour 3. (Look at the top three cards of your library. You may put one of them on top of your library, put the rest into your graveyard.)
3/3
Dreadhorde Ghoul2B
Creature — Zombie (C)
When Dreadhorde Ghoul dies, scour 1. (Look at the top card of your library. You may put that card into your graveyard.)
2/3
I need suggestions for a new name as I'm not happy with the current one.
The set is all about dreams and the current mechanic names in the set are: Flashback Dreamwalk Trance
How about Lapse? It's alreadyassociated with the top of the library, but it makes sense for milling yourself too. And it fits with the whole sleep-and-dreams naming conventions.
Honestly, I think scour is decent enough, though it would probably be a better fit for a fateseal-style reversal of the mechanic. (Which could probably be done; I don't think it'd be nearly as oppressive as fateseal.)
