Regenerate that creature. Flavour Text: Set/Rarity: Community Set Uncommon |
Code: Active?: false History: [-] |
Simic creatures such as Sporeback Troll are worth considering for inspiration for Fungi in this set. This is trying to make the activated ability something you'd plausibly want to do to either your own or your opponent's creatures, but a) that pushes it out of common, and b) it makes a bizarre green tapping machine-gun that may be somewhat out of pie.
True, probably out of pie, though a good effort. Maybe "can't attack" or "prevent all combat damage" or possibly Sandskin is a little more spot on.
Maybe green's version of "can't attack" is "becomes 1/1 until end of turn"??? :)
That seems a choice that's particularly guaranteed to cause confusion when it's specifically targeting creatures with +1/+1 counters on them! :)
I'd advance "becomes a 0/0 creature until end of turn" to remind people, but then I assume some people would willfully assume that that kills the creature.
Doh! Good point :) "becomes 0/0" would be funny, but I agree not a good idea... :)
