original inspiration: https://preview.redd.it/gmsgmmuazqc91.p ... eb806e0ae1

Tweezer-bot
1WU
Artifact Creature — Construct (U)
When Tweezer-bot enters the battlefield, exile target creature until Tweezer-bot leaves the battlefield.
When Tweezer-bot becomes the target of a spell or ability you don't control, put the exiled card into its owner's graveyard.
3/1

Lich-lord Yanggu
1UGB
Legendary Planeswalker — Yanggu (M)
Hexproof
You do not lose the game for having less than zero life. (You still lose for having exactly zero life.)
If your life total would change while it is below zero, that change becomes negative. (Life loss would become life gain, and vice versa.)
When Lich-lord Yanggu leaves the battlefield, you lose the game.

i also liked the RW one most! that was my first one. i think i did end up changing chapter 3 to "tap target creature" since it better represents falling asleep and is also white

trying to make saga tokens a thing gets real wordy real fast

Yeah some of the others ended up a little messy and sprawling but I like the core of what you have going on here

Feels like the top down flavour is what keeps it going as much as anything, all the unique token names might take up space but they also do a bunch of work tying it all together

yeah saga's usually end up doing too many things so the only way to make them work (tokens or otherwise) is to tie the chapters together with ~flavour~
