Now, green's supposed to have the most efficient creatures. But I noticed that we have, um, issues:

Trample: Green gets trample on small things where other colors get trample on big things. Guess which one's more relevant.
"Cannot be blocked except by creatures with flying": This and reach make me wonder why green doesn't just have flying.
Intimidate: So far, it's been on two green cards. One was in an artifact set, and one was the night side of a werewolf card (meaning I'm sure it would be great in a land destruction deck, if TPTB were interested in making such a thing playable again).
Landwalk: Possibly the most irrelevant rule since bands with other. AFAICT, the most relevant application of landwalk is Lumbering Satyr , which coincidentally makes all creatures have forestwalk, which is kinda bad news for anyone playing green.

I want to see what you came up with. I already have two mechanics in mind.

Contest ends Friday.

I hate how White never gets flying on their big creatures.

"Can't be blocked by creature with power less than ~"?

Not very common, but I think its mostly in green.

Tentative thoughts I've decided I like this enough to be my submission:

Intercept (After blockers are chosen, if this creature is attacking, you may have target blocking creature block this creature instead.)

Tel-Jilad Ambusher |
Creature -- Elf Warrior
First strike, intercept (After blockers are chosen, if this creature is attacking, you may have target blocking creature block this creature instead.)

Deathtouch is normally considered a form of evasion as well.

Creatures you control must be blocked if able.
Creatures you control have trample and can only be blocked by two or more creatures.

Thanks for ignoring that four colors get flying. But only green gets trample on 1/1s (well, red too , but that's more of a 1+*/1 anyway). Compared to Archdemon of Greed , Thraben Militia , Akroma, Angel of Wrath , hell, even Leviathan .

Rare or mythic, nearly all of them, in any case. Prime Time's more useful for other reasons. Carnage Wurm is a 6/6 for 7 or a 9/9 for 7 depending on if I get any damage through. (Hint: I won't.) Avatar of Might costs eight mana or two mana, but this isn't Woe or Will. Madness is good, but kinda parasitic, no?

Anyway, this is showing how we can make it viable for limited.
