Having creatures attached to things creates some rules weirdness. The easier way to do it would be:
| Quote: | Ride - Cost, T: Target non-Mount creature you control gains all abilities of this creature other than Ride and gets +X/+Y, where X is this creature's power and Y is this creature's toughness, for as long as this creature remains tapped. You may choose not to untap this creature during your untap step. Play this ability only when you could play a sorcery.
|
It's a bit clunky, but it works, and all that would be in the reminder text anyway. |

Why not make mounts like this
Dragon Rawr 2RR
Creature - Dragon (Rare)
Flying
RR: Transform Dragon Rawr, then attach it to a creature you control. Activate this ability only if you control another creature.
4/4
--------------------------------------------------
Dragon Mount
Enchantment - Aura
Enchant creature
Enchanted creature gets flying and +4/+4.
RR: Unattach Dragon Mount, then transform it. |

@Cloysterd what kind of weirdness, can u make an example?
@Weebles I don't like to make them licyds because of flavour reasons, and also because the mechanic was already used (even tho lycids were meant to be like parasites/symbiotic creatures of some sorts, so in a very different way flavorwise) |

Stubborn Elves G
Creature - Elf Uncommon
Tap: Add G to your mana pool
Everlasting (Mana produced from sources with everlasting doesn't empty from your mana pool as steps and phases end.)
"You will remember me. And my home. I will make sure you will never forget." - Everwoods welcoming Inscription.
1/1
Could be used to make a land cycle (rare probably) like:
Purified Forest
Land - Forest Rare
Purified Forest enters the battlefield tapped.
Everlasting
Or used in instants like:
Persistent lands 1G
Until the end of turn lands you control gain Everlasting. |

I don't remember the specific problem Wizards cited as the reason they don't do attaching creatures, but it creates some strange combat scenarios, mainly because attaching creatures would be able to attack and block independently of the creature they're attached to. Alternately, if you have them attack/block together you run into the rules quagmire that is Banding. While either scenario "works", both are weird and complicated enough that they aren't going to print anything that does that. |

The silver dance of blades is as beautiful as it is deadly.

Woodland Animator 2RG

This looks waaaaay better, actually it is brilliant. Red and flash btw. aren't something you associate with treefolks. Who are well known as some slow veeeery old but sturdy guys made from a stiff organic material known as wood.
[outdated]
Doudax, I hope you know how broken your card is.
Edit: Just play against it. You never attack into 4 open lands anymore ever. The blowout is just ridiculous. And it is reusable infinite number of times.
Yes it is no black lotus or crap like that. Not "broken" in that kind of way.

Just curious, but "broken" in what sense? |

^ This. It's an expensive combat trick that has a lot of design space. I personally thinks it's a pretty cool idea. Almost like a reverse Momentary Blink. |
