A Troll lord! Probably did a poor job phrasing that last bit though.
"Then, regenerate Scarborn Champion." seems more like official wording. We've needed a troll lord for far too long!
The regenerate ability works, but is underwhelming in practice. Say you have this and Thrun out and your opponent boardwipes. You activate Thrun's ability in response, hoping to save both trolls, but this won't trigger until the regeneration shield is used, i.e. after the boardwipe resolves and this is dead.
@Jebediah: I wanted to make it a "May," ability, just in case. Otherwise yes, your wording would be better.
@dude1818: Urgh, forgot that was how the timing would work... Yeah, definitely need to change it. The original version was a bit more complicated -- whenever another troll regenerated, you untapped it and put a +1/+1 Counter on Scarborn; you could remove 2 counters from it to regenerate it. I felt that it took up too much space on the card though. Here's another idea, but it also might be too much on the wordy side...
I like this version. Much cleaner than what I was going to suggest. Only quibble is that it should explicitly tap an untapped troll.
Right, forgot about that. Fixed.
Thanks for the help dude!
