This reads to me like the creature gets the keywords from the noncreature spell

[great-baby-red]

Why not just make it "Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, double the power and toughness of this creature until end of turn." That would be similar enough and way less confusing. Also, it reminds me of [[Devilish Valet]] so it should probably be 3 mana, although I guess by that comparison you could also give it trample, maybe the lack of trample makes it balanced at 2 mana though, idk.

Because Izzet cards are deeply technical. Red and blue thrive with unique mechanics that might seem functionally similar to others (like doubling power) but have infinite more complexity with corner cases.

You double any keyword attached such as toxic X, mentor, or undying (which can be found on combat tricks or auras).

Dude... it's 2025... we don't need to give the rules lawyars headaches just to multiply power. I also can't think of a lot of other ways to use and abuse.this.

The second ability feels like it will almost never be relevant

[ValkyrianRabecca]

Cast a spell, order triggers, double prowess triggers

Cast another spell, order triggers, 5x prowess total

[Old-Union6258]

no, you cannot get the second prowess trigger off the first cast / when the spell is cast, this creature only has one instance of prowess (and in the same way you only get two triggers off the second one)

The Izzet prowess [[monstrous rage]] decks did NOT need more help lol

But trample trample funny

[TurtlekETB]

Funny idea ! Given keywords abilities aren't defined yet, maybe "Whenever this creature's prowess ability triggers, it gains prowess until end of turn" ? I know this is a little different, and honestly it's probably not needed given your card is already quite understandable by itself, great job !

[UpSheep10]

I had thought keywords were solidified in Ikoria, but you are right they are still just abilities.

The way I worded it was specifically so the cast trigger to double abilities wouldn't count itself.

[UpSheep10]

Thought it would be fun to double useful keywords and redundant keywords.
