Random Generator gave me Wall of Spears and Time Warp. I already have a "Gain another turn" mechanic, and you can only use so many of those in a set. I also have one blue common open, so, after thinking, decided to use blink on defense, that hopefully gives an impression of first strike in passing. Fog Bank is much better than this card, but this card is a common. As it is, I'm going to have to look at blue later and see if I need to tilt it forward more... or increase this card's cost.
That flavor text, by the way, is me monkeying with this famous stanza:
The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.
- Omar Khayyám (translation by Edward Fitzgerald).
I wanted to get another spear = time reference in there. The Wiki article on 'Time's Arrow' reminded me of that quote from The Rubaiyat.
