Created for Challenge # 064. Another self-resurrecting creature, like Lifespinner; I didn't want this to be a Zombie as well, so I tried for a different flavour.
"Choose one" effects are a bit of a cheap way to get the four-colour-ness, so I'm not that proud of this as an answer to the challenge.
But I do like that the first two effects are natural ones to pair with combat damage, and the last two are both natural things to happen on the "dies in combat" trigger. (Which incidentally I believe is not a phrase that's appeared in print but I believe should work perfectly within the rules.)
Actually, I think it might have to be "dies during combat." I like this one, but notbas much as the previous two I commented on. I do like the triggers. As you pointed out, you've paired them well with combat damage and dying.
