Cycle with UW06 Vanity Glider-UU06 Vanishing Gantry-UR06 Vicious Grifting-UG06 Vigorous Guide; specific mirror of UW06 Vanity Glider.

Somewhat of an anti-synergy between the granted abilities: intimidate means deathtouch won't usually do anything. Want to change intimidate to something else to keep the mirror with Vanity Glider.

Do you really want to change Intimidate? Both cards at present are "Evasion + other ability". The white one works because the other ability works on damaging the opponent.

Changing "Intimidate" feels like the wrong solution - either you pick a different evasion ability and have the same problem, or you pick a different ability and lose the mirror. I think you either need to change the other ability to one that doesn't need this to get into creature combat; or you need to change the evasion on both cards to something else.

Mmm, interesting point. OK, will give this some thought.

I guess lifelink is black as well; I could replace deathtouch with lifelink? That'd then make these two extremely similar, though.

You could always change the Intimidate to Swampwalk - less useful than Intimidate but would make Deathtouch more useful. Or as more of a mirror +2/+2 Deathtouch and can't be blocked by flying creatures doesn't give the 2 keyword mirror but makes the abilities mirror nicely.???

The point is that deathtouch is an anti-combo with evasion abilities. I think all your suggestions still suffer from that.

I'm thinking it might not be such a problem though. They don't particularly synergise, but you could phrase the effects as (a) make me harder to block, and (b) make it worse for you even if you do manage to block.
