I always thought my card for Lelouch would be white. But this design occurred to me for a mythic and I think it might fit best in red-blue. Blue is the colour of long-term planning and red is the colour of thinking on your feet, both of which Lelouch excels at.

Wording based on Otaria plus the usual Vizier of the Menagerie ability. The intent is that once you've used this to prepare a card or two you'll still be able to cast them from exile even if Lelouch left the battlefield.

bah, the type line doesn't have room for "Human Noble Rebel"

(Oops. Vitenka's comment may not have been very pleasant, or particularly constructive, but I didn't want to actually delete it. Sorry!)

Meh; I was just insulting a fictional character.

hm, I need to actually say you can prepare that card from the top

The reminder text has gone amusingly wrong here.

That's probably supposed to be "look at and prepare" rather than "look and prepare at".

reminder text is fine, but yes, thanks SI, got a word in the wrong place
