"Mechanic E" is token-oriented, related to creating aether energy reservoirs, similar to investigate and clue tokens. These reservoirs can be sacrificed for mana anytime, like Eldrazi Spawn, or more precisely, the Gold token from Gild and King Macar. They can therefore store and carry mana whenever it is needed. There might be even more mechanical overreach - maybe using these tokens for powering up the speculated vehicles?
I like this idea, so taking the text from Gild some cards might be able to create lets call them Energon Cubes that read "Sacrifice this artifact: Add one mana of any color to your mana pool."
One way to have these things help the speculated vehicles could be to introduce a snow mana like variant. So taking the rules text from snow mana we could have "<New E Symbol> can be paid with one mana from a Energon permanent." That's abit too parasitic for my taste so maybe this wording is more interesting. "<New E Symbol> can be paid with one mana from a artifact permanent."
Just a thought, not even sure if the wording is right, or too soon after colorless mana cost? Either way I'm excited to see what it actually is.
I thought up this card awhile ago, and I'm not sure how to word it.
My biggest problem is that I just want it to reference Main card types, not suptypes, or supertypes.
Name and Cost are just place holder, I'll probably ask for ideas on that once I get better wording.
Pitch-UU Enchantment Players may counter spells by discarding a card with the same card type. (For example, a player could discard a creature card to counter a creature spell.)

Hope you like it, not really sure how to get it to look more like lightning.
Sorry about not having a banner ready, I really just like making avatars now. Also, I'm sorry I didn't have this up sooner, I just didn't have the time. So here you go.
IBjeremy:
Sorry it took so long, I'm not around on the weekends. Um I tried the camera movement you wanted in an earlier version, but it looked bad resetting back, so I went with a constant loop animation. If you don't like this, I can change it.
Avatar is right. I do have a bigger version but theres no way to optimize it and still have it look good. I wish I could of made a border as good as the Guildpact one though, but I just couldn't think of anything else.

"Whenever a player casts a spell, any player may discard a card that shares a card type with that spell. If a player does, counter that spell."
I like this wording, thanks for the help everyone.

I moved some things around. I hope you like it.
Done, sorry for the wait.
Tapsymboldancer:
Tried some different things.
All three avatars are optimized differently, choose whichever you like.
If you would like something different, just ask.
With and without a border, not sure what you would like more.
Any changes just ask.
Finished.

Finally done. Here you go.
