History: |
Olivia Voldaren + Quest for the Holy Relic
Cast five creatures, get a free piece of equipment. Feels a bit weak, given "get an equipment" on a creature body exists. Still, workable.
And the lord of all vampires; sucks blood to grow and make new vampires, then mind controls them.
Quest for mind control? Equip a vampire? Heh, why not. Good old-school silliness.
So, gains +X/+Y where blah blah of tapped vampire that you don't have to untap. What should it be called... Batswinger. Imagery of someone picking up a (surprised looking) vampire by the ankles and using it as a club. Um. That's clearly goblin territory.
And the +P/T wording gets long and yucky; and "Tap a vampire you control" is a bit too non-nwo. So maybe ETB, if you have a vampire, this gets something. Soulbond tech works for that.
So there we go, a simple common Goblin Balloon Brigade NWO-viable variant.
Quest for the Holy Relic bypasses both mana cost and equip cost, as well as searching it out. That and it's ridiculously cheap. There is a creature that does all three of those as well - Stoneforge Mystic - but, well, she was banned, for good reason.
The imagery here is hilarious.
