Description:

Unleash (You may have this creature enter the battlefield with a 1/ 1 counter on it. It can’t block as long as it has a 1/ 1 counter on it.)

Creatures you cast gain unleash.

When you unleash a creature, exile cards from the top of your library equal to that creature’s power. You may play up to one card for each card type among cards exiled this way until end of turn. Put cards not played this way on the bottom of your library in a random order.

First Time Making a Card.

Really appreciate the packaged Magic Set Editor to put the idea I had for a while into a working card.

Design.

I like the niche "Top of you library" commanders like Yennett, Cryptic sovereign, Elsha of the Infinite, Vaevictis Asmadi, the Dire, Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow, etc. I especially like to see how different color combinations do this, utilize and exploit this value source. Blue/White seem to care about optimizing your own top of the library, Blue/Black seems to want to steal from the opponents top of the library, Red/Green wants to exile the top of everyone's simultaneously and see what happens or what they can cast, and so on.

Mardu is color combination that I have not done before, was always interested in, but could never find a commander in the color combination that I wanted to build around. So that is when I came up with Ebrisi of the Hallowed. Taking "Unleash", a one set mechanic with little existing synergy or payoffs (which benefits this card as to not make it "too" powerful), Muldrotha's "up to one of each type" helps us reign in what craziness could come from this card advantage engine, and a general theme around the top of the library for advantage for how I would think Mardu would do it.

For the unleash, while flavorful for what I think an Efreet Monk would look like, I think also helps this mechanically as if we were to do this a lot and have this insane card advantage, we also have the drawback of whatever creature we unleash cannot block. Not the end of the world of course, but being that the only payoff before was generalized 1/ 1 counters or haste from Exava.

Feedback.

I am definitely not a designer, and am trying to just explore what a hypothetical that I would enjoy would look like. Is this too powerful? Not powerful enough since it based around casting creatures? Over costed? what do you think?
