Random Generator gave me Birds of Paradise and Glint Hawk Idol yesterday. I played with it in my head for a while, but couldn't get anything I like out of the combination, and didn't have many slots left on the skeleton to move it into.

Today, I figured I'd just force something togehter and leave it on the workbench to say I did it. Then I noticed that the results I had could fit the skeleton, being a rare piece of the White-Artifact deck. Strangely, though, I had to remove the white from its cost, since I'm sure people would criticize White making mana of any color... but I kept it slotted as a white rare, locking up all of White in the process (Activation was green, but now I'm changing it to white. I'm pretty sure that will swing).

It had flavor text, which read:

"How fascinating. The invasive species is taking on qualities of its prey."
—Yare-Tiva, warden of Gramur forest

But that was just too much text. The card isn't confusing, but it uses four line breaks.

I don't know. This still just seems like a mess of a rare. I keep tilting my head sideways when I look at it. It may need to go back to the bench.

Also, I keep vasilating between 3/2, because that's well-costed, and 2/3 because 0/1 + 2/2 = 2/3. Unfortunately, I can't make this cost unless I'm willing to make it a 1/1... and that seems less right to me...

Infinite tapping/untapping. Turns on Quest for Renewal once it can tap. There are a number of enchantments that trigger when a creature becomes tapped, but they ping you. If you have some way of redirecting it (maybe Pariah's Shield and Boros Reckoner) for unlimited damage. Fun. Alternatively, Pentavus and Cathars' Crusade give infinite tokens of infinite size as well as making this huge.

Yeah, a nicely breakable combo piece. And I always did have a soft spot for "And in response.. whirrrrrr. Ok, go on."
