Lost - G
Enchantment
Enchanted creature can only block alone.
Those who stray from the herd soon discover that they are never truly alone in the oasis.


It would seem to me the way to increase the power level is to make it last more than a single potential block. Being an instant isn't really necessary, since you'd be using it on your turn, in most situations. There's little benefit from the surprise factor, save in multiplayer, which is narrow.

Like this, the creature is truly lost from the herd because it cant attack as well as block with the rest of the herd. It is also a nice green Pacifism:D

I thought the original did last more than a single block. It didn't say "until end of turn", so the effect was permanent. Unforunately if anything this is less powerful than the original.

Okay offering up three directions here:
- What can be done to increaese the power level but keep the ability the same and keep this an instant?

- Is there anyway we can really mess with the blocking mechanic so that this can be played once blockers are chosen?

- Maze of Ith, Gustcloak Harrier - can we go that direction?

Honestly, Relentless Poker's idea isn't all that bad. Pacifisms in green are hard to come by.

But if it really must be an instant, try this one for size:

Lost from the Herd - 2G
Instant
Untap target attacking creature. Prevent all combat damage that would be dealt to and dealt by that creature this turn.
Block-relevant keyword or Draw a card.

If enchanted creature would block, remove it from the game until end of turn instead.
