, Sacrifice a creature or land: Crossblighted Engineer gets +2/+2 until end of turn.
I like how this interacts with the set and I like how the mechanics and the name fit.
But I think that the stats could be a little more beefy. The dual colors in the mana cost suggest getting a hint more for the value and my research is bearing that out.
This is already "I can swing unblocked? You die." How much bigger does it need to be?
Maybe but how often is that going to come up? This doesn't have trample or evasion of any sort--you'd have to work for those effects. If you can do that AND go all in to win, then you earned it.
At 4 mana, requiring two colors, the stats don't quite hold up and cards made in the modern era seem to back me up here as many of those creatures have evasion, an ETB ability or are 3/x or x/3 based.
Honestly, I'd just add a cost of
and make it give +2/+2 when you sac something to make it line up with Nantuko Husk and them.
That's a pretty elegant solution, too.
I like that a lot. Done.
