Random Generator gave me Wicked Akuba and Swamp. Swamp color shifts Akuba to Black... oh... hold it. I wondered when this would come up.

My original idea was, in theory, if I was forced to color shift a card the same color, to find a way to make it more that color. That theory is a little easier said than done, though. All I could do to the Akuba is give it more abilities to make it more black, or make it more ridiculous and push it to Mythic. But what would happen if I got a Mythic/Rare and the same color colorshift? Make it common? Make it Elderazi absurd?

Another thought occured to me while figuring this out. Nothing color shifts to colorless. Maybe, color shift of same color can be my out to color shihft to artifact.

It seems I've straddled the line, here, and did a little of both. That's okay. I ended up with what looks like a fair artifact, that can give a hand to Catching Searblades.

Ha! Yeah, many black cards could be easily made "more Black", but Wicked Akuba is already about as black-intensive as it can get!

This seems a reasonable approach.
