Hey all!
I wanted to get your feedback on the wording for an ability I have on a creature.
This is the way I currently have it worded.
Brainfeeder Ooze 2UG
Creature - Mutant Ooze XUG : Put X +1/+1 counters on Brainfeeder Ooze, where X is equal to the number of cards in your hand.
0/1
Is this correct?
Should it be worded another way?
Put a number of +1/+1 counters on ~ equal to the number of cards in your hand. This ability costs X to activate where X is the number of cards in your hand?
Put X +1/+1 counters on ~, where X is equal to the number of cards in your hand. This ability costs more to activate for each card in your hand?
Either or look good, the end result is that I want the player to have to spend mana equal to the number of cards in their hand to activate the ability.
The correct wording is the following, as seen on Chromatic Armor:
XGU: Put X +1/+1 counters on ~. X is the number of cards in your hand.

How to use card tags (please use them for everybody's sanity)
[c]Lightning Bolt[/c] -> Lightning Bolt
[c=Lightning Bolt]Apple Pie[/c] -> Apple Pie
Vowels-Only Format Minimum deck size: 60 Maximum number of identical cards: 4 Ban list: Cards whose English names begin with a consonant, Unglued and Unhinged cards, cards involving ante, Ancestral Recall
One small addition because the number of cards in your hand could change in between the time that you activate and the time that the ability resolves. Spoils of War, Keeper of the Beasts.
XGU: Put X +1/+1 counters on ~. X is the number of cards in your hand as you activated this ability.

XUG: Put X +1/+1 counters on Brainfeeder Ooze. X must be equal to the number of cards in your hand.
Or,
UG: You may pay X, where X is equal to the number of cards in your hand. If you do, put X +1/+1 counters on Brainfeeder Ooze.
I kind of like the former better.
