Storyline
Set History
Mechanics
The following mechanics first appeared in Nemesis:
- Fading - When a card with fading came into play, it's controller puts a number of fade counters on it (as specified on the card). At the beginning of it's controller's upkeep, that player would remove one counter, unless there were no counters to remove, in which case the card was removed from the game. Cards with fading (e.g., Blastoderm) would normally be considered over-powered without the addition of the ability, and forced the player to use the cards hastily, thus lending fading naturally to large creature.
