Continuing on the loose rare 'likes lots of artifacts' cycle. Blue's pretty easy to make happy in this cycle. I'm also going to have some problems when I reflavor these guys. I already have all my 'story characters'. I'm going to have to make a bunch of non-story Legendary creatures, then have a bad explination for why they aren't really doing anything in the plot. One can only make so many pets...

That's a big ol' Howling Mine effect, except better in some ways, because everyone gets the cards only when you do.

It's a tough ability to cost, too. I can't figure out if the ability is too broken for 6cc. While it is very different, it does kind of remind me of Memory Jar in that it looks fair at first glance, but it's probably not going to be anywhere near as useful for the opponent as it will be for the controller...

Looks fun, and powerful, but not obviously broken, so give it a try.
