For Challenge # 068, and riffing off Psichic Ankus. Jack put a lot of little things in his original card, and while I kept some elements of it, I just couldn't afford the space for colored artifact, or instant artifact (though this did have flash up to the very end. I just didn't think the card needed it.)

This card, of course, gets a little better in a world where Elephant is a logical tribe (like Treefolk in Lorwyn). I'm cool with the idea of that first sentence roughly saying "Unless you're a complete goober, lose 3 life at the beginning of your turn."

I'm fascinated to see people's different reactions to the cards. I thought of Psichic Ankus as obviously an instant, that had incorrectly been made (i) blue (ii) an artifact (iii) a curse for flavour reasons. My cleaned up version would have been something like Searing Spear :)
