Design your own keyword!

Inspired from the wave of other "make your own _____" topics. In this one I want to see people's ideas for their own keyword creations.

I'll start off.


--Wound--

Damage is dealt in the form of wound counters. At the begging of each players upkeep, that player doubles the number of wound counters s/he has. A player with 100 wound counters loses the game and a creature with more wound counters on it than its CMC is destroyed.


--Swift--

When a creature with Swift blocks, if its power is greater than the toughness of the creature it is blocking, that creature is destroyed and deals no combat damage to the creature with Swift.

Stacking X
(you may equip creatures to the wall, the wall gets +x +0.) X is the creatures strength, ex 1/1 stack on to a 0/5 wall wall is now a 1/5 you can stack more than one creature to the wall. You can also play the stacking cost to de-stack it if the wall dies the creature dies with it.

Decomposition
(when this creature deals damage to player though combat it gains a decomposition token equal to the number of damage player is dealt by the creature with decomposition. Remove a token make add a mana of any color to your mana pool)

Day/Night-on flip cards
(during your upkeep flip card to either day form or night from.)
ex. A human lord from during the day, vampire lord during the night. Each get different bonuses.

That's pretty cool actually. Though I shudder to think what it could do to RDW.

Farsight. If this creature would be delt damage, prevent X of that damage, where X is this creatures toughtness.

Range. When this creature is blocked, damage that the blocking creature would deal is reduced to 0.

Purge. When ever a creature with purge deals damage to a token, exile it. When ever a creature with purge deals damage to a creature with counters on it, remove all counters on that creature.

Cooperate:

When this creature is blocked it gains +0/+X, wherein X is the number of other creatures with Cooperate.

If this keyword was real, It would probably be exclusive to humans, vampires or elves.

That's pretty cool, but maybe instead have it say "target permanent". That way you can give your enemies hard choices. :D
