Spike Tiller + Words of Regret
A modular creature that uses your lands to become its children, and turn your draws into milling.
So the common theme is turning boring stuff into a way to hurt your opponent.
So - what things are boring (not much utilised) in magic? Hand, life total, deck, graveyard, exile zone?
Turning life total into things is dangerous (see Channel) though there's plenty of cards that turn lifegain into stuff. Turning losing life into stuff... that sounds interesting. There's Living Artifact and variants (Angelheart Vial,Sun Droplet, a few others). There's turn it into soldier tokens, and there's a growing dog. Seems it's been done. Shame.
Using hand for stuff exists in two ways (if >7 cards in hand, and + per card in hand)... let's leave that too.
Deck? Plenty of stuff has used self-mill as a pseudo-cost. Stuff tends not to do "Equal to cards in deck" but that's for a good reason. But we could do "if you have 5 or fewer cards in your library..." or similar. That works.
Wait, I got here? From there?! HOW?!
Pretty cool Johnnyish card. Great for a Tomoya the Revealer deck :)
I probably should have held this back for Challenge # 105 - it's a wonderful anti-mill card.
