Breathing Forms and the Mark

Type: Token

Rarity: Token

Mana Cost: —

Color Identity: Colorless

Reminder card. BREATHING FORM N: cast a Form spell only during your turn, only if your form counter is exactly N minus one, and only if you have cast no other Form spell this turn. As it resolves, your form counter becomes N — the numbers are never skipped. If one of your turns ends with no Form spell cast, your form counter becomes 0 and you begin again at the First Form. A Total Concentration line does nothing unless your form counter is 5 or greater.

THE FORMS ARE A FIXED ORDER THAT CROSSES TURNS, NOT A COMBINATION INSIDE ONE TURN. One Form per turn, in sequence, and the deck pays you nothing at all until the fifth. Drop the sequence and you start again at the First Form with everything you spent still spent.

THE MARK: when a creature is dealt damage and survives, put a mark counter on it. It gets +2/+0 and has haste. At the beginning of your end step, you lose 1 life for each mark counter on creatures you control. The power is real and the wear is real, and the wear is on you.

“Everyone who ever woke the Mark was dead by twenty-five. They knew that when they woke it.”

Single card from the DEMON SLAYER (Total Concentration) Commander deck. Sold individually.
