For Challenge # 028. I suppose that the commonality of this card would depend on whether this version of the lightsaber comes from the original 3 Star Wars movies, or the Prequels. I assume that specific Lightsapers would be Mythic.

I think the abilities are self-explanitory, but just in case:

The damage prevention clause is meant to reflect the jedi's ability to deflect incoming enemy fire. The way that Jedi's are portrayed in Star Wars, you'd almost think that lightsabers can stop any attacks, except for other lightsabers. Cards, unfortunately, sometimes don't have enough space to include three paragraph social commentary rants.

I wanted an ability that could take down indestructible creatures without calling it out. We talked about 'unblockable' not being a real keyword, and I wasn't going to go start that argument again. Hopefully, this is clear enough, even if it is clunky. It also has the bonus ability of ignoring regeneration... which is probably right. Doesn't ignore damage prevention, though, which is a bit odd.

Added Picture.

by Alex:

Last ability should probably say "to another creature equal to or in excess of that creature's toughness", unless it's meant to slaughter all utility creatures the moment it fights a Grizzly Bear.
