For Challenge # 015. An answer to Independent Streak. The flavour to me seems to be that your creatures have these habits of getting tapped, and it's only with diligent attention that you can stop them getting tapped. It's also a fantastic Johnny combo-piece reminiscent of Voltaic Construct.

Based upon your comments, this looks like an answer for what Independent Streak was. I got confused at first, since the two cards together are technically a combo.

That is, of course, assuming you weren't going for "this is the problem, now this is the answer"... a solution to combo potential. I admit, I did leave the concept of an answer card kind of vague, because I knew that would be difficult for many.

Well, it depends on whether Independent Streak is used as a removal spell or a defense spell. If Player A puts Independent Streak on Player B's aggressive creature, then this is a good response by Player B to make the creature useful again. But if Player A puts Independent Streak on their own creature, then this is a good combo with it.

Ah! I didn't notice the beginning of upkeep trigger. I assumed it was "T:". That certainly explains why giving the creature indestructibility isn't such a big deal...
