Making a new themed ability. To go with it is Infraction, which buffs a card if it's breaking a law.
Notes- There can be multiple laws; maximum of 4 at a time per player. If a new law would be made that breaks the limit, sacrifice target card creating a law. This does not apply to casting a second copy of a card that makes a Law already in effect.
-Laws created by cards you cast do not apply to you
-Justice abilities stack, as do Infraction
-Laws can only be destroyed if the card making the Law is destroyed.

Should add a non-token creature clause to that
IGNORE THE 'HERO' THING. That'll be explained once I have the whole set finished, as this is a brand new format I am making called Planeswalk.

Good catch, fixed it in MSE. Thanks!

This card needs balancing, so looking for input on this guy.

Is "The Enemy" something specific to your format, or is it supposed to be target opponent?
>>44014765
When does that trigger?
Should it be 'whenever a player breaks the law,' or is that when it enters the battlefield?
That "only four laws" thing is bad design. If it's for balance reasons, then just make the cards weaker or just ensure the spread of possible laws doesn't penalize literally everything. But leaving it as is makes it unclear and insular — players have to be "in the know" somehow.

Caring seems waaaaay too strong. Punishes your opponent for playing the game basically.
>>44014871
You don't need commas between the symbols is the activated cost. And for balancing reason, you should do one or all of these things
Make it a tap ability
Make it sorcery speed
Make it only able to discard non-land cards
The sorcery speed and non-land is fitting in with the usual targeted discards (thoughtsieze, IoK, ect)

So does every single instant that destroys any (or all) card(s) you have unless you put a bunch of counter spells in your deck.
>>44018271
Well some can't even be countered.

Law seems too one-sided. I prefer abilities which are more fair. And fun. I'd see this like:
Dealing damage to creatures is against the law.
Justice - whenever a player breakes the law, each of that player's opponents puts a 1/1 white Soldier creature token with vigilance onto the battlefield.
That way, you have to think while building deck, and while playing, opposed to "i play my best stuff whenever, cause it's good, and win only cause my cards are better than my opponent's"
Also, i think that fiddling with some non-written-on-cards global rules (4 laws) makes an easy, modular game pointlessly complicated.
Actually, this 4-law rule is obsolete with this double-edged sword tweak of mine. Alongside with "Laws created by cards you cast do not apply to you", which is just pointless.
last thing is - syntax. Most beautiful thing in MtG is clarity of wording, and wording of yours is not at point.
But law seems pretty fun, still, once it applies to all players.
