Common that can be used offensively (2/2s and lower can't block him effectively) or defensively (as a blocker that softens an attack in if removed). Need a better name than Grudge though, probably.
Updating this design because I like the name. Reuses tap abilities and helps make that lone flyer/evasive dude you are chipping in with play defense too.
This helps to proc your other bide dudes, right? As for the flavor, I would assume that a mathematician would actually untap artifacts and maybe enchantments (contraptions and theorems) instead of people.
No, it doesn't trigger the others, because by the time this untapped them there trigger is already passed.
While that seems to be the case (rulings of Biovisionary for example), I think it would be pretty easy to assume that all these bides would go onto stack at end step, then you would order them so that this would resolve first, meaning that another that was tapped would get its bide effect procced. The design is seemingly indicating that usage after all, but since that isn't possible, it really shouldn't do that. Cards should intuitively point to the correct ways of playing.
