­Tyrant's Familiar + Obelisk of the Crop

A hasty dragon who is meant to partner with your commander. Who will be the kind of commander that lets you search for a dragon :) Seriously huge, direct damage, haste.

And... huh. The objective for an challenge format. Basically "Your team can take 20 points of damage before they lose" (and there's a mechanical turk opposing you trying to deal that damage, while you try to meet another objective).

So, hmm - a big dangerous dragon that you lose if it takes too much damage. ... Form of the Dragon and done. Or maybe your opponent loses if they take too much damage from it. Um, that would be every creature ever :)

Ok, maybe look at the name? What would a Tyrant's Obelisk be? Obelisks were declarations of religious power; and served their conquerors as a tribute. Certainly a thing a tyrant would have. Mythologically... well, there's one legend where they represent the start of the world, and posisbly of the next world. And another where, well... phallic gods let's stop there. I want to say "They outlived their creators" but, well, survivors bias. Lots didn't. In mtg, most obesliks have been mana rocks.

I think I want this to be something triumphant. Something difficult to bring up. Which means it has to be correspondingly good. "Cannot lose the game". And triumphant? Only play it if you won the game; at least a little bit.

Obviously multiplayer only. I'm imagining this would be paired up with a triumphal arch, and a chariot, and a parade, and that jester who whispers "This too shall pass..."
