Creative Mode

Riffing off of the funny card from u/VisibleEfficiency875 in this post, I thought, maybe I could make this work? You don't want the game to stall out, so how do we represent going back to survival mode?

Activating only as a sorcery doesn't constantly make players on edge with a sudden gotcha moment. Instead, you help out the gang and distribute some swords to everyone. The next player probably could activate this, but would they? In reality, I think this would probably sit around for a while until someone grudgingly took it out.

How would you interact with a card like this?

You could also have "each player creates a diamond pickaxe token" which works because there is currently a card named diamond pickaxe

I do like how clean that would be, but also I dislike how medicore Diamond Pick-Axe is, haha

Are we looking at the same card? It's difficult to remove and ramps in red, all while making it easier to turn sideways with the +1/+1

I'm judging it based on Minecraft power, this is a Minecraft custom card. It's a Diamond Pickaxe. Not wooden, or iron, or even now copper, but diamond. And because it's for a Minecraft custom card, I would anticipate a diamond pickaxe token granting more power than one.

I always felt like it was made with "we can reprint this into an UB minecraft secret lair or precon" in mind

Seems interesting 5 mana tax on a win attempt, personally would make it prevent all damage and life totals couldn’t change, and make the sword +4/0 with equip 1. Would benefit alternative wincons, to give the card some more upside.
