­Goblin Raider + Force of Reckoning

Huh. One of the best aggro creatures ever printed, and... an almost invulnerable ground guardian angel. (That is itself a mash of Force of Nature and Oasis)

Ok, an aggro-fatty? An aggro-samite? That has prospects. Preventing damage isn't ever a bad thing. I'm not quite sure how I saw those two creatures and thought "You know what? I'll make a modern samite healer" but I did. A samite that's usable as a combat trik? Yum! Also, subtle anti-planeswalker bias.

It's flat out better than the samite; but I think that's ok nowadays.

Annoyingly; has to be uncommon because of "Tap ability that affects combats"

I don't like haste in white (for attacking). But I think "You may active this ability as though ~ had haste" is uglier, so why not making it a 0/1?

You know, I rather like this creature. Though I might be biased, since it pulls from my mashup. :)

I know white isn't supposed to have haste, but if we're going to give haste to white, then a combat medic who's most likely going to use it for its activated ability does make sense. I think I'd like to see that happen more often... though, maybe defender is appropriate. Perhaps you can call it the reverse of Goblin Raider's ability?

Thanks. I kinda agree with adding defender as the better way of making it symmetric; but we're getting into real keyword soup there.

0 power is simpler, and that way it doesn't always outclass the original samite (just almost always) so I've done that. Also being uncommon isn't so bad now - who wants to open a draft full of 0 power creatures?
