­Swords to Plowshares + Redcap

Ah; the classic white removal/lifegain. And... an unfinished creature card. Looking at the next item, we see ((C17116)) but as the combination ther is just a Crumble variant, I'll stick with redcap.

Mythologically; redcaps are murderous little trolls, whose caps are dyed with tier victims blood. I can't help but link to teh delightful: http://www.webcomicsnation.com/uvernon/littlecreature2/series.php here, though.

So exiling creatures is a thing the redcap could well do. Probably ought to be YOU gaining the life; not its controller though. Which makes for an expensive black effect. The name clearly wants to be red though.

Red's take on "gain life" is primarily "Stop someone from doing it"

I could make this - that's allowed lifegain. but if I'm going to do THAT then I ought to go full-out "Let's remind people that 'swords' existed and was awesome"

Imagery; A redcap farming. Don't look tooooo closely at the bodies and blood it's using for fertiliser

I don't know about the hybrid... this would sure look weird if it cost . I suppose one could always point to Grove of the Burnwillows for precedent, though. (Dear Alex, that was a joke. ;)

Oh; agreed. But wouldn't it be a very odd to see a card named "redcap" in white-only? (Also the existing Murderous Redcap was hybrid rather than gold, which was the other obvious option)
