Wow yeah, too many conditions on that mana. I thinkI'll get rid of the in the activation cost, see how it works with just the sacrifice.

­Elves of Deep Shadow say this isn't completely unreasonable, but yeah, this card is low power. (Elves was one of the better cards... from the dark. So yeah, still low power even if you take that as your inspiration.)

Hm. I'd normally rather have Llanowar Dead by quite a long margin. I guess there are decks that really want sac outlets, especially in ... but does this really need the as well as the and sac?

I think it'd be far too good with a "may". With "may" it'd be auto-include in every control deck that can handle the colourless. As it is it's interestingly risky.

agreed, but just from a rules adherence perspective this card will be difficult to police unless it's a may. very easy effect to forget about.

You're probably right, but I kind of like the riskiness. Also adding a may makes it much better and I am usually nervous about putting card draw on lands.

probably needs a may clause

Haha, yeah on my phone so I'm lucky if I can get a legible sentence out, thanks for the heads up.

just housekeeping things:

• i'm guessing this is meant to be an artifact creature?
• the second sentence says counter instead of charge counter

otherwise cool card
