Hmm... Originally, I planned on this having flavor text along the lines of:
"I admit it. I invited him mostly because he has a good weapon."
-Ibok, Neurok Engineer
But it turns out that putting Legendary token creatures onto the battlefield can take up a lot of words. Oh, well. Maybe I can sneak that response on another card.
Bolivar's Warhammer amuses me, but I can't tell if I like the idea or the card. I guess I could let this stick around and see if people like it or say something like "Dude, it's just an Siege Mastodon with a Loxodon Warhammer. Couldn't you have come up with something more creative?"
Living warhammer. Evil.
6/5 trample lifelink for 6 that leaves behind a powerful equipment... hmm. I guess judging by Wurmcoil Engine and Batterskull it'd be fine, but only if you made this mythic.
Funny that. I was having a hard time doing the math myself. I kept rolling this idea in my head "If I had
up, and a 3/3 creature already on the board, would I rather play this, or Loxodon Warhammer?" Strangely, I think the warhammer is better there. It's like saying "Deal 6 damage to an opponent and gain 6 life" instead of getting a 3/5 creature with a free equip. I could be very wrong.
You know, it's simple enough for Mythic. Let's just make it Mythic.
