I presume you're supposed to ignore the first ability, not the second? How about template it like Leonin Arbiter, i.e. "~ can only attack or block alone. You may sacrifice a creature to ignore this effect until end of turn." All as one ability.

changed original tap from 1 dmg to creature/player and 2 to you to creatures only and 1 to you, made essence ability creatures only and removed dmg to you

don't need to make this card completely suicidal

by keflexxx:

oh yeah the design feels easier to grok now

in both cases the absolute number of damage between stock ability & upgraded was the same, but now the transformation feels more complete. i guess having the transformation denote skill mastery is better than having it denote getting marginally better at the skill
