Put a 1/1 black Rat creature token with deathtouch on the battlefield. That creature must block a Human this turn, if able.
For Challenge # 039. I liked the idea of a couple of sailors checking the hold and finding a dreaded Bilge Rat. Problem: 1/1 flash deathtouch is really good, but, while the name infers that this is an instant, the card would make more sense as a creature. Also, just slapping two keywords on a card isn't fun... it needed something else. So I added the "got to attack the sailors when they find it" clause. I don't know if it works, but I'm keeping it.
