Random Generator gave me Sedge Troll and Defense of the Heart... back in October. I never solved that problem, and can't add another set comment unless I do, so here it is.
I wish there was more of the Troll in this card, but I'll have to settle for the last line, I suppose. Jack's original idea was clever, and I wanted to use it, but it had strayed far enough where it was a mashup of Lhurgoyf, Entomb and Gargoyle Sentinel. I agree with Alex, in that it didn't need to be that strong a card, and could just be similar to a Fierce Empath (which got me thinking of casting costs in the first place), but I like how this card gets a lot of the spirit of DotH without being super abusive. Also, on a clear board, combos with cost Kobolds. Did I mention that I like Kobolds?
