Future Sight is a veritable treasure trove for Name That Card. Expect me to steal a number of the mechanics that are simply begging for some solid bottom-up design twists. Except for Aura Swap. Honestly, could you imagine a set with ten cards similar to Arcanum Wings? Madness.

Here's a twist on Absorb. It's a great card to swing with when your opponent is playing 2/2 and 3/3 dorks, and you've got removal ready to pick anything else up off the table. Just don't attack with it into your opponent's Devils' Playground. That's a fast way to lose 12 life.

My mind immediately leaps to Personal Incarnation and Stuffy Doll.

So: Incarnated Doll. Creature type Avatar. Flavour: (From the diary of Kozilek: Animating Phylacteries. Good idea, or best idea?)

Blood servant. Creature - Homunculus. [The art had to do s lot of work here showing wizard making a creature out of their own blood]

Astral Projection. Creature - Spirit.

Bound Demon. Creature - Demon.

None of those are quite right. There's not quite the right creature type for blood servant. Maybe horror? And astral projection would be better in white. And magic kind of has pacts with big demons, little ones are devils or imps and don't have the same bargain flavour.

Went with Jack's Blood Servant, which I had to double check to make sure didn't exist as a card name first... but it turns out that the card I was thinking of was Blood Celebrant.

See y'all in (((NTC # 018)))!

Sorry I couldn't make it this time or last time, I think the creature type I'm thinking of is those guys from Sarpadia? i think they were called thrulls? i dont know if that ever become a creature type, though...

on 05 Feb 2020 by dude1818:

Yeah, there are a lot of thrulls. Mostly on Ravnica these days, actually

They came from all the way back in Fallen Empires; so yes, many many thrulls.
