Tuknir Deathlock + Gatekeeper of Albahris
Wow. One of the original legends legends. How utterly memorable they weren't. (With the exception of, like, Chromium who got a format all to himself, there's no such thing as a Bolas, la la la la la, I'm in my happy place, sad dragons in snow. Hey! He got a new version! Happy!) Anyway, an overpriced bear that can piggy back onto people.
And an 8 mana 8/8 trampler with a downside. We really are going for a prehistoric feeling here.
So the commonality is a rare creature. (Possibly mythic nowadays)
I am kinda amused that 'deathlock' came up with a creature who turns lifeloss into cardloss. Huh, there's a thought - instead of buffing another creature, turn its damage into cardloss.
I'm assuming we've broken the 'mill' barrier somehow, because ugh, too wordy otherwise. Although this card is then a very very good example of why 'mill' is a terrible choice of word for the effect.
neat design. I like it by itself, although I don't see how it works with either of the original cards? Or maybe i don't know how this mashup thing works yet.
And i don't know what you mean, I don't remember a bolas in legends?
Nicol Bolas doesn't exist nope nope.
It isn't intended to work WITH the source cards; the mashup is basically "Take these two cards, be inspired by trying to combine (bits of) them into a single card" - in fact, the front page sums it up pretty well:
"The way a mash-up works is: you select two cards and try to create one card that contains elements of both of them, combined into a reasonably elegant whole."
yes i read that just after commenting, my bad. This does involve damage and cards, so i suppose it counts, but milling still seems different from pumps and discard (specifically. triggered card draw from life loss)
I really love the card though, the second ability is like an evermore punishing ingest, which is a deck my brother (you know him as wurms) actually has and it's already a pain to play against (i have crap paper, dont have mtgo, but i do know how to make good decks online). The first one is like a reverse-bodyguard.
All-in-all it's super cool, even if i dont understand what parts you used for the whole :)
