General New Spell Type: Chorus

[Velrun]

We have a new spell type in MtG called Chorus.

Here is the first Chorus card spoiled

It’s an Alchemy (Arena only legal) card. Perhaps Chorus spells will only feature on digital cards. I have read that Chorus cards will increase intensity.

It is very easy to implement in paper.

If I’ve understood correctly, you would just need to use dice or tokens to keep track of your current intensity level. The only issue is keeping it clear which of your dice is for intensity, poison, experience, energy, life, etc.

Isn’t it a subtype rather than spell type?

Correct on both counts. (You could also use an emblem - we already have The Ring and dungeons so it's much less farfetched technology in 2023)

I don’t mind the mechanic: it reminds me a bit of the kindle spells in Coldsnap. I like how the spells will scale up as the game goes on. Getting sufficient density for it to be worthwhile might be difficult in cube.

Yes

It’s both. But more accurately it is a subtype that, as for now, only goes on instants and sorceries.
