This is the original and still the best one, and I stole it off a web forum because it was so elegant. My other versions are not as good yet

Switching to green so that the cycle actually works

Giving an on colour keyword so the cycle is complete. Regenerate might actually be the best fit, but looked awkward

Paul I certainly see what you are saying with regards to these, loses the ability to never kill itself, but removes the cap on how much mana you can pump into it. It may be that this cycle is just not a fit for this set with their heavy enemy colour balance. Hopefull more people will weigh in with their opinions

I made all the G Shamans and Wizards into Druids because that was the most common subtype in G. But this guy seems to definitely want to be a Wizard. Conflicted!

Since it is a rare and unique ability I think fine to keep it as a wizard

Simon O'Keeffe · 2012-05-31 12:09:38

yep agreed, and there is some wizard tribal scattered around
