i was working on some of my private cards, when I thought of the Epic key wording. 

 

 

Duplicate <cost>

At the beginning of your upkeep, you may pay <cost>. If you do, put a copy of this card onto the battlefield. You cannot cast spells this turn. (Spells cast before this resolves are unaffected)

 

Notes:

- <cost> is usually the cards casting cost. exception in rare, mythic, and special cards.

- Does stack with other resolutions of this ability. It is not a spell. A creature can be duplicated for as many as there are on the field. mana is the main limit, but you can still add at least one every turn.

- Works on enchantments, creatures, artifacts, and lands

- can be used on cards that are weaker, and could bypass the 4 card limit, without actually stating a relentless rats type ruling. 

- recommended <cost>, 3-4+. ie: 1UR, 2BB, 4RR

 

 

Any thoughts?

Im really thinking the <cost> may need to be higher...

Does sound potentially(Though not necessarily)  over-powered.

I could see this being cool, but it has 'repetitive play' written all over it. Get your best thing in play and copy it over and over every turn. You'd have to make none of the cards with this mechanic very good otherwise it would probably be degenerate. Also, I don't think you'd be able to cast anything before this ability would trigger, because after "beginning of upkeep" abilities is the first time a player has priority I believe. So you probably don't need the reminder text.

the only thing making me think that you can cast things on the stack during an upkeep ability, is the Magic card game on console. duels of the planes walker. you can pause the timer on the activation of things like Penoptic Mirror, and actually imprint cards on that before its casting ability resolves.

 

I'll see if i can work on some cards that aren't retardedly broken and i'll post them here, later.
