You know the drill. Tell me what's wrong with this mechanic. I suspect the flavour could do with a reworking, so could someone come up with a better name?

interseting. I like the blue one a lot. to be honest, i was skeptical at first. But this mechanic seems fun.

Congratulations, you've found My Lie Policy:
Only when i'm prompted, i might lie. (policy still in the refinement process.)
I am both rational and instinctive. I value self-knowledge and understanding of the world; my ultimate goal is self-improvement and improvement of the world around me. At best, I am focused and methodical; at worst, I am obsessive and amoral.

This is the first time ever on these forums someone's simply come out and said that they like a mechanic I've made. It's been all constructive criticism and no constructive praise. Manly tears, my friend; manly tears.

This is super rad. I love it. It's customary to make the counters' effect stem from the cards; currently, no counters except power- or toughness-affecting ones have any innate use. If you want to have effects that put energy counters on creatures, just make it grant the keyword too. Also, "battlemage" should be something cooler. Here are some awesome options:

I like the idea. I don't like the sound of energy counters though, but that's not a big deal.
"The body is but a vessel for the soul, a puppet which bends to the soul's tyranny. And lo, the body is not eternal, for it must feed on the flesh of others, lest it return to the dust from whence it came. Therefore must the soul deceive, despise and murder men." — The Durai Papers

I read the mechanic and thought it sounded stupid.
Then I read the cards and was like "...I like this."

Really not big on the name, but this definitely seems fun. Possibly Surge as a name?
