For Challenge # 099, and based on Viviana's Resuscitation #2. I hate to 'explain the joke', but if it isn't obvious, "Makes Me Stronger" is the second half of the Nietche quote that begins with "What does not kill me." To balance that quote out, I looked around for another Nietche quote to adapt, and took this one, also from Twilight of the Idols:
"Man believes that the world itself is filled with beauty — he forgets that it is he who has created it. He alone has bestowed beauty upon the world — alas! only a very human, an all too human, beauty."
Into an appropriate flavor text. My first thought was to assign this to Momir Vig, but there's not a lot of forests in Ravnica, and I didn't want to make this blue... I figured it was okay, however, if Nath, always obsessed with beauty, let a green-white spell exist in his repertoire.
I thought it was a Katy Perry reference.
To be honest, once I thought of it, I couldn't get Christina Aguilera's song "Fighter" out of my head. :p
