While I wanted a blue common instant, or instant enabler, Random Generator gave me River Boa and Sand Golem, and I couldn't see a way through that, so I just made this instead.

The River Boa part, beyond the activation cost and the 2/1 part, is intended to say "River Boa really made Blue Wizards mad. Sand Golem is meant to make Black Wizards mad. Let's make a River Boa that really made Black Wizards scream", though, it's probably even meaner to red. I also figured that deathtouch was a better match for this then regen, since it already has a return from graveyard mode, and deathtouch says "Even if you kill me the right way, through creature combat, I'm going to drag you down with me anyway."

Just wish that second ability didn't require so many damn words. Maybe I should just get rid of the activation, but keep deathtouch. Less mashup-y, but cleaner card. The usual argument with myself.

Changed the {1} {g} Activation to just 'Deathtouch'. Still had the tiny text, so I had to pull the flavor text. It was:

Hmm, "super-undying-but-not-obviously-abusable"

I like it.
