History: |
Powerleech + Refugees' Arrival
1 life for every artifact use. Wonder why that never got a reprint? Also, I wonder why antiquities was 50% artifact hosing and only 10% actually good artifacts (with 30% filler)? Ah well.
And make 3 soldiers and 2 life.
So some kind of lifegain card. Lifegain when tokens enter play?
Or work on the leech side of things? Weaken tokens, and gain life for it? That's a bit of a specialised hoser. But could be an interesting deck archetype builder if it weakened your own tokens. Let's try that.
Obviously this will exist in a set where there's a black deck with lots of 'pay life' costs, and maybe even alternative use for -1 counters.
This could be an enchantment. But let's just make it a vampire.
Numbers... probably need tuning? But I've got a nice 1-2-3-4 going on here.
And then I find out that "Seafarer Virgule" is an anagram for Refugees Arrival; and this is hereby a vampire/pirate. (Vampire for both what it does, and the leech name, and mis-using Un's "X/Y" subtyping for the new name.)
