For Challenge # 015. I read up a little on Alice Roosevelt; she was a poster child for the independent hedonist, who'll do her own thing and damn the consequences. This enchantment is trying to say "Enchanted creature will do its own thing and doesn't care what you want it to do."

Oh yeah, and this is rather dubious colour-pie-wise. I originally had it as white or blue, without the damage bit; a Curse of Chains that makes the target harder to kill. But that felt more like crippling the creature, not like it wandering off to do its own thing. Plus the self-absorbed hedonist idea is so utterly red, it felt wrong in any other colour.

Hmm... I think I would like this better without the indestructible bit. It would feel even more flavorful.

Maybe Absorb 1, or Shroud? I suppose, if this card was to be printed, it would have to spell out that it can't hit itself. That being said, I really like the Power of Fire set to a random target.
