This mechanic would probably be good in a vanilla-friendly set. Mostly, it will be on creature cards. It could probably be put on other permanent card types, but not sure towards what purpose. Also, it needs a better name. Anyway... Blood Fiend  Creature - Demon At the beginning of your upkeep, Blood Fiend deals 5 damage to you unless you sacrifice a creature other than Blood Fiend. If Blood Fiend deals damage to you this way, tap it. Vanilla  (You may cast this spell for its vanilla cost. If you do, it loses all abilities.)5/5 Ember Elemental Creature - Elemental Trample, haste At the beginning of the end step, sacrifice Ember Elemental. Vanilla  (You may cast this spell for its vanilla cost. If you do, it loses all abilities.)3/1 Nature's Sentry  Creature - Centaur Soldier Vigilance When Nature's Sentry enters the battlefield, you gain 4 life. Vanilla  (You may cast this spell for its vanilla cost. If you do, it loses all abilities.)2/2 Questions? Comments? Moans, groans, gripes or complaints?

I really like the idea/cards, but I don't think calling it vanilla is right, doesnt sound Magic-y.

Okay, here is the clincher. I've been waiting to say this.
The "cam girl" this was inspired by was just a girl from a social networking website, Stickam. Her name was TinyTerror and she was just a regular girl who was on her webcam, totally unrelated to any type of adult content.
I hope you all feel really smart now. 
This is like someone coming into class with a bloody nose and everyone's like "Jeez what happened to you" and they're like "I ran into a wall" and everyone laughs at them for being an idiot but then at the end of the class they say "HAHA JUST KIDDING I PUNCHED MYSELF IN THE FACE!!!!!! TALK ABOUT OWNED HAHAHAHAHA"
I really enjoy imagining this from Kevin's perspective. Because in Kevin's world, Rosewater actually reads everything he types. Mark is sitting there right now, reading this, and thinking "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled. . ." Or some such. He chuckles low, then clicks on "The Best Of KEVINSET" and says "Yes, this'll do just fine. A busty lady with banding who deals direct damage to Zones!? Why this will be the star of my next set, and no one will ever believe you Kevin." Then he closes his Macbook, so his servant may move it out of the way, while another servant puts a Fetal Richard Garfield Clone lathered in Steak Sauce in front of him. Then Mark Feasts.
Sorin walked into the chamber where his newly wed bride, Vampy, awaited. A beam of moonlight illuminated his brilliant silver hair as he strode with confidence towards the bed. His shirtless body showcased his powerful abdominal muscles and he was wearing jeans with holes in the knees.
I wish more girls play magic cards...
Have you considered assassinating Kevin?

I agree. It definitely needs a better name, but I'm unable to think of one at this time.

Hmm, I remember something like this being used in one of the old Big Card Projects. It was a "vanilla-matters" set that included Morph, and used +1/+1 counters to mark creatures whose abilities had been removed (not literally, but creatures that were cast for their "vanilla" cost entered the battlefield with counters and so it became a convenient way to avoid memory issues). I don't like it so much in a vaccuum, but I'd love to see another theme built around it.

I think the name was Primal, but don't quote me on that. It was pretty awesome, but I can't remember if it was an alternative cost. I don't think it was.

Ember Elemental is genius, I love the design. On the name, can it be called Muraganda? You know, after the enchantment  ?

Maybe a name like "Simplify"? It's kind of interesting, though I don't know if I'd like it so much in play. The Elemental's use of it is kind of like a slightly worse version of evoke, but reversed.

My Standard deck: Setting SunThink of how Neo couldn't beat the robots, but they kept him around anyways to defeat Agent Smith. Sure, the robots might not like having a Neo running rampant because instead of playing their favorite 4 drop fatty robot, they have to play a bunch of one mana Matrixs to contain him, but at least Neo keeps Agent Smith from reanimating an Iona on turn two.
Are you saying I'm trying to blame my loss on something? I don't care that I lost, I care that he's a sore loser, and a cheater, and a liar.

[In response to a thread about how hard grading is]
Upon reading this, I've found myself completely unable to operate in the world. I tried to decide what to eat for breakfast, and pondered the vast consequences of my choice. How do I balance my dietary needs against my desire to eat good-tasting food? Should I factor in how long it takes to prepare? Cereal is ready in moments, but bacon takes longer to cook.
Then there is the impact on other industries. Do people in the cereal industry deserve to be employed more than people in the bacon industry? Which industry should I support? I don't even have the data regarding HOW MUCH the cereal industry benefits from me eating a bowl of cereal, or how much the bacon industry benefits from me eating a side of bacon. How can I compare two qualities I can't even quantify?
And let's not forget the milk on the cereal. In addition to determining whether or not milk is healthy for me, how much that benefits the milk industry, and how much the people in the milk industry deserve my support, we have to factor in the fact that cows are put under brutal conditions in order to collect thier milk. Of course, the same goes for the pigs, and then they get killed. Of course, I really like bacon. So I need to come up with a scale that compares the value of cow happiness to pig happiness to my happiness. What trade-offs am I willing to make here? Does the fact that the pig gets put out of its misery count as a plus or a minus? Isn't bacon bad for me anyway?
Deciding what to eat for breakfast (or any meal) is impossible. Help me!
I must admit chinkeeyong, you have the most interesting character ideas; and you play them well.
Anyway, you'd be surprised about Time Stop. When I first saw that card as a relatively new player I didn't see its full potential until I read the reminder text. Is it that unintuitive, though? Mine I mean. What is possibility? Is it possible for me to type these words with my tusks? No, because I don't have tusks. Although I am now tempted to go buy some - obviously not from poachers or whatever - and use them as typing apparatus. I could be the best secretary ever. "What's your words per minute sir?" "Well, only six, but I use these tusks to type them." "You're hired!" That was the interview. And is anyone else disappointed that "apparati" is not the plural form of apparatus? I just could strangle a dictionary, because "apparatuses" is a real word. I guess it sounds pretty cool. I'll call them my Apparatusks.

But I'd love to call it Nerf... just so you can 'Nerf' creatures legitimately

Considering most of them are losing harmful abilities, simplify is much more appropriate than nerf.
