Heh. In Jack's version, keeping the name Cribswapping, is a bit of a slangy way for a Planeswalker to act like a jerk. You know, instead of calling the card "Curse of Babyism."
FWIW, I think Crib Swap could be interpreted as "there's this spell that changelings use to exchange a changeling baby for non-changeling baby, and the planeswalker is warping that to their own purpose by using it to exchange a changeling baby for a Hill Giant that's just run into the middle of a dangerous battle". Which is rather more disturbing when you think about it, but less chronologically paradoxical :)
That's actually a really interesting question. I've always been ok with magic cards that tell a story, rather than represent a specific current action (like, you discover you have been the chosen one since birth), but I don't know if they should exist -- I agree they don't exactly fit the supposed flavour :)
Umm... I have no idea how that happened. Sorry.
so why three copies?
For Challenge # 034, based on Alex's strategies from Challenge # 031
I always thought that about Crib Swap. When I topdecked it I'd say "Haha! That Giant that's been beating me up for three turns: it turns out that it was swapped at birth with a little Changeling! Erm."
You know, I really like the flavor of this, but I find it kind of funny that a human that was raised by wolves didn't quite realize the power he had over wolves until he was enchanted. It's a bit like Mwogli grew up, walked out of the forest and lived among men as a business professional. Then one day, when his boss is giving him hell, he suddenly realizes "Hold it. I was raised by wolves.", calls for his wolf bretheren and rips Belvue and Stoker Inc. to pieces.

I wanted another card that references two creatures types, and kept looking until I found a flavour I liked.
I originally wanted something that said "Each X you control gets +1/+1 for each Y you control" but I couldn't find a flavour that fit.
