Building off the discard effect mechanic as an analogue to death effects from the death element. This time to provide benefits to creatures you own.
I'm still working on balancing the cost with the number of +1|+1 buffs provided.
My gut says that there needs to be a limit in place to prevent these from becoming OP. This method seemed to make good sense, but I'm open to suggestions.
SERIES:

Whether the glass is half full or half empty is a moot point. It is always filled to the brim. It is only a matter of by what. The real question is: What fills you?
If your zombie plan is
kill -9 `ps l | awk '{print $2" "$3" "$9}' | grep "Z" | awk '{printf("%s ",$2)}'`

Hrm...Building off the things lost to time is an interesting idea, as it can utilize  :time 's draw boosters in a more direct way than simply using the enhanced speed to do more than another element could in the same amount of turns (play 10 cards in turn 2 when the normal limit is 8, for example.)
I don't know if this card's ideas should remain one card. Perhaps a new series to give  :time a new possibility to be explored in the future.

That's exactly what I'm doing with the Chroniton | Tachyon series I'm working on now.
So far I have 3 cards made.
This one, Chroniton Cascade | Tachyon Cascade, and Chroniton Scavenger | Tachyon Scavenger

The whole series will revolve around making use of discard mechanics.
All of the cards in the series will have "Generate :time if discarded" as part of the card, but will also include an additional effect that is either triggered by discarding or uses discarding as a sacrifice-like cost.
