History: |
Mash-up of Ethereal Champion and Camruth's Erratic Shapeshifter.
I took the "can survive damage" idea from etheral champion, and the shapeshifting idea from erratic shapeshifter, and ended up with a creature with a built-in polymorph.
I sort of wanted to restrict "death" to lethal damage or effects your opponent controls, for flavour and balance, but I thought it was probably not worth it.
The resulting card's not very fancy, but seems like it should exist. It's obviously crying out for abuse in a polymorph deck, but hopefully isn't worse than existing combo cards.
Reminds me of Clone Shell, somehow. Or Body Snatcher.
