Halo | Halo

I was actually inspired from this card I made a long time ago;

[Atom_heart]

Seems to me like the ephemeral version of this (however, this effects only creature abilities): http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,35338.msg445262.html#msg445262

Yeap! This is the card I was talking about!
Anonymous is not lazy at all and found it for me! 
Nevermind, I like halo better! lol

Well thanks Atom_heart

"Aura:
Creatures, permanents, spells, and abilities cost Light quanta for one turn.  Discard Halo."

So does this mean that you can save the permanent in your hand for an indefinite period of time before using it?
Are you sure this is the best idea? instead of being able to use it only the turn directly after played?

I'm not saying it should be one way or the other... I have no idea.  But I thought I should just bring the question up for thought.

[Ajit]

I believe you meant "save the permanent's ability"?  Because of course you can save it in your hand as long as you'd like.

It is definitely a consideration whether you would HAVE to use it your next turn or not, but as of right now I see no problem with the way it is now.

In most or if not all card games, discard means that a card is destroyed/removed from your hand.

I think that a better wording would be

Aura: Sacrifice this card to have all your quanta cost to cost Light quanta instead for 1 turn.

Or this if you like epic wording

Aura: Sacrifice this card. All cost costs light quanta for 1 turn.

I suppose its grammatically correct.

All costs cost quanta for 1 turn.*?
I'm not sure if they both work, but it would still be hard to understand with the costs costing you to cast the costs. ...wut.

Or how about "All quanta costs become for 1 turn."

I absolutely support this card, thematically and mechanically. This card casts light on all costs, making them all cost  . I love the many possibilities of this card.

Thanks for the c&c guys I'll submit soon-ish.

I believe you mean "destroy" instead of "discard", since discarding assumes the card is still in your hand, and this is a permanent with an active ability...
TBH at first i was like "so when i use this, i must discard any Halo i may be having in my hand too?!".

[ZephyrPhantom]

If Sundial is anything to go by I don't think you need to add that 'Discard Halo' part. (Permanents with a timed effect seemed to be assumed to self-destruct once that effect ends.)
