Mill+card draw , and card draw whenever blocked .
So my card should be ? And slower than an enchantment. So a creature. And draw cards when something happens to creatures.
And there's a theme of 'forcing' in there; so to sorta keep the mill; make the draw non-optional.
Hard to find a state balance for this. Cant be too good, since it's artifact.
I was tempted by 3/3 for ; but kinda has to fly since it became a sphinx. So bumped up to the 5. While a very efficient creature; if just used as such it's likely to let your opponent draw a few cards. You really need to pair this up with tokens and sweepers for best effect. Though sweeping an opponents token army to deck them is also hilarious.
Fecundity on a big flyer will be very popular in certain green-black sacrifice decks. Making it non-optional is indeed hilarious against those token decks. I like it!
Thanks. Oh! And I had a tab lying around for Challenge # 115 for ages. Guess this counts as the start of it :)
cycle of five... artifact, planeswalker, sorcery, instant, land... Seems legit :)
LOL. Yeah, I'd like to see that card types sphinx cycle :)
Wish; command.
Sphinx's Curse, Sphinx's Bargain, Land of the Sphinx, Guardian Sphinx and Phix, the Σφίγξ.
None are quite so clever as this; but they mostly all play into draw+discard theme.
