Random Generator gave me Crossbow Infantry and Island. Island color shifts Infantry to blue. I don't really think I need that "attacking or blocking" line, since that's the only time it will matter the vast majority of the times. Also, as unexciting as this card is, it technically wouldn't be a common now adays, what with the moving pingers and healers to uncommon to cut down on confusion in game. Hmpf.

Set needed a 2cc common creature, and this was in the workbench. Not common nowadays, but most people you show this card to wouldn't know why.

Is the suddenly-breaking-off flavour text deliberate?

Mmm. It's supposed to represent the fact that the guy who is speaking has been shot. Too subtle? Perhaps some an after the fact attribution or something?

It should end in an em dash or something so that it looks deliberate.

I was expecting an ellipsis if that was the case, yes. And probably some enclosing quote marks.

Dash. Got it. The problem with the ellipsis is that it implies that there is more... that's the reason why I didn't add it. Dash means I've been cut off.

Hm. But is he getting shot, or just getting so drowsy he drops off to sleep?

> makes you lazier and laz-

sounds like an abrupt cutoff as of someone getting shot, but that's not what the word "lazier" implies.

> makes you lazier and... laz...

sounds like a gradual dropping off in the middle of the sentence, which is what the word "lazier" suggests to me.

Let me tell you, Alex, I do appreciate the attention to detail. I find it funny just how much these little things can bother us enough to write multiple paragraphs... but when the end result is bunches of people appreciating a card in it's perfect form, I'll write a damn essay. Thank you. Your suggestion is superior and I updated it that. :)
