History: |
Mind Games + Rage of the Mori
Half of Twiddle, plus buyback; and a red card that makes tokens every turn (and sneakily encourages you to attack a lot)
A token maker with buyback seems the obvious simple thing to do. But Sprout Swarm and Lab Rats already exist.
A token maker? Buyback of "Attack"? Oh; that's kinda sneaky - encourages you to play something after combat. So better make it something that would also be useful before combat. A twiddle would work; but is mostly useless outside of multiplayer.
And hey; I can fulfill Challenge # 143 at the same time!
So a sorcery, drop a token w/haste, recur if you attacked this turn. Is
too pushed? It is strictly better than a plain 1/1 haste goblin, after all. I think maybe 
.
Now, does complexity allow this to be common? Hmm, actually; probably not. But making it a creature both would; and would allow it to be a lot more interesting; to boot.
Templating is fiddly and horrible though; I don't think I got it right. The idea is this can be a one-shot attack hasty thing; or it can stay in play if you decide to not attack. Annnnd... damnit, I think I just recreated a mechanic I vaguely heard about from the latest tarkir set.
But this doesn't have haste.
