For Challenge # 029. Reverse poison. In theory, the future block this card comes from would be full of cards that reward you for 'pulling stunts'. A lot of these stunts would probably require you to involve yourself in combat, since combat is where the game really interacts... but I assume that a fair number would involve intentionally leaving yourself open, and trying to survive until you've picked up enough "Trick Counters". Or trick counters might ask you to jump through some really odd hoops. Like giving a creature you control to another player, then regaining control of it. Originally, this guy gained you one trick counter, but, by it's lonesome in Future Sight II, that wouldn't be good enough. Two might be pushing it for it's own block, but seems fine without support.

Since I flavored this as 'trickery', I decided to use a Pre-Age of Exploration North American plane as the setting. Native American mythology is chock full of tricksters... in fact, it's probably one of the most unifying features of the myriad mthys. The creature type is another extension of Native American storytelling, and how characters in them seem to be animals, yet, seem to be human.

Changed to common because... well... it probably would be in the world it came from.

Oh, this is very nice. Very new, but very natural (both in flavour and mechanic).

Very nicely done.
