Ok! A card that gets stuff back from exile, and... a Serra Rhino.

Ok, whatever we end up has equal power and toughness, and they should be even, and equal to their CMC.

Now, how do we mash "Vigilance, white" with "Unexile, green"

Right, not going 0/0 so that means jumping to 6/6 or 8/8. Eight is the correct size for bigass green fatties. And that means I go rare; and get to put silly abilities on.

(Name and flavour from Fantasia, card itself is probably a vital combo piece in some deck I haven't dreamt of - but is basically a bigass fatty that might be vigilant)

I'm now wondering if, by modern standards, this is still overcosted. I mean; it's costing six and you have to get through three times to win with it, and it doesn't have any abilities to help with that.

It would probably be more traditionally green if it had trample...

Rhino Elf? I like that. This probably isn't overcosted, since an 8/8 with pseudo-vigilance is pretty good. I want to point out that you can't target in costs.

­You might not be able to, but I clearly can; it says so, right there.#(Being more serious; it probably wants to prevent you using the ability unless it's actually tapped.)

In that case, it should be ": Shuffle target exiled card into its owner's library."

Then Flame Fusillade or Power of Fire breaks it given the existence of just one exiled card.

As it is now, you probably want to exile the whole deck with something like Leveler or Demonic Consultation and then shuffle one card in at a time as needed, ending up with a stacked deck.

It deliberately doesn't have , as then it'd be able to untap even without things in exile.

@Vitenka: No, since you couldn't activate the ability without a legal target. My suggestion does, however, prevent you from using the ability if it's untapped.

@SM: That is a problem. It would need a timing restriction like "Activate as a sorcery" to avoid that combo, but then you couldn't use it as a "surprise" blocker. Oh wait! You could go the Goblin Artisans route and say ": Shuffle target exiled card that isn't the target of an ability from a creature named ~ into its owner's library."

It still doesn't work that you target as a cost, and your wording doesn't really forbid you from doing it while it is untapped. The untap symbol is pretty much what you want, although as noted it goes infinite way too easily.

Anyway, kinda cool card. But repeated shuffling for something minimal is not that cool.
