Reprint of Scryb Ranger, and, I'm sorry to say, part of the Knight cycle with Blood Knight and gang. I'm sorry to say it, because it totally breaks the cycle, not even bothering to cost {g}{g}, or, you know, be a knight.

I'm pretty sure the wisdom enabling got the better of me here (plus the pro-blue). It's funny how a decision like this can keep bothering you. Right now, I'm kicking myself. But, very shortly, I'm going to ditch this card and design real live green knight.

LOL. Yeah, this is a green prop-blue knight is funny. Is Vodalian Riddlemaiden the blue entry?

But yeah, I'd like to see an actual knight.

(I guess references to Gawain and the Green Knight should be avoided unless they're really funny?)

Heh. I guess so.

Yeah, Vodalian Riddlemaiden is supposed to be the blue entry. There aren't many blue choices out there, but I always thought Vodalian Knights were interesting. Since I wanted the Knight cycle to be CC, I adapted it to modern standards. (Though, now that I look at it, the Riddlemaiden isn't a proper Knight. Correcting.)

If you're having a five-colour Knight cycle including reprints, I'd really want the blue one to be Knight of the Mists. Although it is horribly out-of-pie these days.

Yeah... that flanking also kind of does it in as well. The sentiment is felt, though. I could just double back and remake the black knight to have some sort of etb knight destroying ability. Oddly, Order of the White Shield will be protected from that.
