Original Card: Aliban's Tower ­

­
• Removed blocking restriction (between this and Ambush, red had two cards that encouraged you to sit back and block in common. As it is right now, this card is still worse than Titan's Strength. But not too much worse that it couldn't be printed...
­
• Power and toughness increased by +1/+1.
­
• Image and Flavor text is from different cards.

i feel like if you re-named an-havva inn, then you should rename this as well.

Yeah, I was thinking about this. For a little while, I was trying to convince myself that there was something 'action-y' about the word 'tower', since it can be used as a verb. But, no, not really. This is clearly a picture of a tower just sitting there. Nothing action-y about it.

So what the heck do I name this?
"Tower Over"?
"Aliban's Power"?
"Strength of Stones"?

I'm not sure. Whatever I call it, I assume I'll have a hell of a time making the name relate to the artwork...

"POWER TOWER"

if you used the other artwork, you could consider calling it something like lightning infusion

I want to suggest Tower Defense, but astonishingly, that name's already taken...

After looking at the artwork, I can't come up with anything better than 'Aliban's Power'. Not really sure what that guy is doing... but whatever he's doing, the spell still needs to say "Aliban's X". And give a creature +3/+1. Maybe I should just stop thinking about this.

Originally, I dropped the casting cost to . I kind of goofed with my own skeleton, however, and ended up with three red commons between Dwarven Trader and Celerity. Since Celerity is an original card, you'd think I'd change that... but Aliban's Tower casting cost originally was , so it didn't seem like such a big deal to revert to that and increase the bonus by +1/+1. Besides, I didn't like this being strictly worse than Titan's Strength anyway.
