Created for Challenge # 006.
Many of the original uncommon Legends have intriguing flavour, but this guy (Pavel Maliki) particularly piqued my curiousity. A black-red character who goes around "helping those in greatest need"? Why... and how do you capture that in a rules text box? Here's one way.
The +1/+1 is necessary, because otherwise he'd give some awesome but useless keywords to a 0-power creature more often than would feel sensible.
add a small title/sobriquet
"You don't ask why a plague spreads or why a field burns. Don't ask why I fight."
Heh. Yes indeed. I wonder if I could make this flavour text refer to that classic old one somehow.
