For Challenge # 066. Making a wholly original Orzhov anti-Ravnica card is hard. There are so many themes in white and black centered on control... Even ideas that seem to contradict the exact thing that orzhov does (": Tap target creature. It's controller gains 1 life, and you lose 1 life.") feel Orzhov by their nature. That ability particularly works well with all the other orzhov cards, since all those little drain lifes are now being used to pay for another event.

The only thing I could think of was white's love of weenie creatures combined with black's ability to throw away control for the sake of rushing the opponent. I don't know... this seems pretty w/b to me... and I would have no interest in playing this in a regular Orzhov deck.

Yep, seems good to me.

(Although worse in two ways than Spectral Rider, interestingly.)

Good point. It's three ways, if you count the fact that WB is harder to do that WW. Upped to 2/3.
