Prevent all combat damage done to creatures you control this turn.  You may divide that damage among any number of creatures your opponent controls.  You lose life equal to that amount of damage.  Life lost this way cannot be prevented or redirected.

I need some serious help modifying the wording of this mechanic. The premise is:

TYPEcluster (If you control at least X other TYPE creature(s), CARDNAME gets ABILITY)

It's pretty simple, but the wording is killing me. Here's some examples.

-----------------------------
{1}{U}
Apprentice to the Fey
Creature- Faerie
Common
1/2

Faeriecluster- If you control at least one other Faerie creature, CARDNAME gets +1/+0 and flying.

-----------------------------
{4}{G}
Jungle Thrasher
Creature- Beast
Common
3/3

Beastcluster- If you control at least three other Beast creatures, CARDNAME gets +2/+0 and trample.

-----------------------------
{2}{R}
Lavanest Watcher
Creature- Dragon
Common
3/2

Dragoncluster- If you control at least two other Dragon creatures, CARDNAME has "{T}: Put a 2/1 Dragon creature token with flying onto the battlefield."

[Kaleo42]

Awesome mechanic! Great design, im really impressed. I can see two good ways to fix the wording.

1: simplify it to "Cluster" (or whatever name you want for the ability) and then put a value behind it.

Cluster 3 - as long as you control at least 3 creatures that share a creature type with this creature then <insert ability here>

2: make the number universal like metalcraft is always 3.

Dragon Cluster - as long as you control 2 other dragon creatures then this creature has <insert ability>

[Birdbrain]

I want to make a mechanic now. Although I'm not sure it will be as good

Aether weave-{U}{U}{1}

When you play this spell. You may also put a copy of target ability with "enters the battlefield" on the stack.

If you were to design this. How would you fix it's problems?

First off, thanks so much for the praise! I was going for a very simple mechanic that would be included in a yearly set (M12, M13, ect). Secondly, your first suggestion is the answer I needed. It's perfect for new players to understand, and great for experienced players to work around!

Creature- Faerie
Common

Cluster 1- As long as you control at least one other creature that shares a creature type with CARDNAME, it gets +1/+0 and flying.

Cluster could become an interesting playstyle.  Next set is most likely a tribal set that is one a new plane, so (although it will not happen) this would be cool in that set.  While we are on the subject, what is Rosewater's e-mail?  I want to tell him about this! (with you taking credit for the idea of course.) even though he won't answer me.

I kinda want to make a mechanic too.

Aura Pulse 3- if you control 3 or more enchantments, creatures you control gain +X/+X until the end of the turn, X being the number of enchantments you control.

Common Sense {U}{U}{U}{U}{4}
And it'll be a mythic rare lol

Probably something like... Reveal and exile X number of cards from your hand and for each card exiled this way search your library for a card that is the same type as that card, reveal it, and put it into your hand. (Ex. Sorcery for sorcery, creature for creature, land for land). Shuffle the exiled cards into your library.

Creatures you control gain +X/+X untill the end of the turn, were X is the number of creature types you control

That could be a mechanic. Like domain, only with creature types

When CARDNAME enters the battlefield, search your library for a land card, reveal it, and exile it.
