As ~ enters the battlefield name a creature card. W, T: Exile each creature with the chosen name, if the named creature is exiled return it to the battlefield under it’s owner’s control instead.
So I'm not sure how the activated ability would function. If the named creature is on the battlefield and I activated this ability it would get exiled. The next part is where I'm unsure; would the second half of the ability return it within the same activation? I don't want the creature to get blinked.
I essentially want a single activated ability that: returns the card if it's exiled or exiles it if it's on the battelfield. It shouldn't do both though.
"Phyrexian mana" isn't a thing; I'm assuming you mean that you want to be able to cast spells as if the colored mana symbols in their cost were Phyrexian mana symbols.
Ya, I understand that it isn't a recognized thing. I just couldn't find the right way to word an ability that granted what phtrexian mana does. One of the two you listed should work nicely, thanks!
I barely understand what the Stone is meant to do, which is a pretty bad sign. All in all, consider just not trying to print cards that need to be this wordy in order to function. Any changes I'd make would change what the card does.
Unfortunate but expected lol. The premise I was going for was a card that had a moderate amount of power but could be "fought over". 2 mana exile target perm was the strong part obviously and the counters were a way of determining who had control over the stone. The Johnny in me can't help but love the over-complicated cards lol.

I can not for the life of me figure out how to present the wording but I want an ability that substitutes all colored mana for it's corresponding phyrexian mana. I know all my attempts were very wrong so I didn't bother putting any there. If someone knows how to word this can you maybe explain the reasoning why certain phrases and words are used?
Stone of Discord

Stone of Discord enters the battlefield with two strife counters on it.
Whenever you cast a spell, you may exile it. If you do, put a strife counter on Stone of Discord.
Whenever an opponent casts a spell, they may exile it. If they do, remove a strife counter from Stone of Discord. If there are no strife counters on Stone of Discord, that opponent gains control of Stone of Discord.
:2mana:, Remove a strife counter from Stone of Discord: Exile another target permanent.
Sorry for such a wordy card. Is this card optimized so to speak? Is there a more efficient way to word a card that has a similar effect? And does this card properly switch sides they way I intended? I'm not totally sure of things like "when" vs "whenever" vs "if" so that could be wrong too.
Thanks for any help. I hope I'm not breaking any rules or missing something.
