Mashup of Femeref Knight and Scalpelexis for the Challenge # 001. I got a little stuck at the end when I realized which two cards I had left. A strict application of mashup would just add vigilance and flanking to Scalpelexsis and call it a day. Boring. I did what I could to spice it up, but I might have been reaching too hard. Flanking turns into infect for a creature whose artwork already looks like it is infecting you. I changed Vigilance to the untap mechanic to make it seem more alien as well. Probably all kinds of busted, but the untap mechanic was already busted, so whatever.
I think combining the attack ability and vigilance into an untap ability was awesome.
First strike + wither is indeed a lot like flanking (but more so :)), but I assume it should be wither insteads of infect (neither card dealt poison originally). And ideally that half of the ability would gain something from Scalpelexis, but I agree, I'm not sure what.
He's got the flying and low/high P/T ratio from Scalpelexis.
