Vedalken are fairly prevalent in the game, but have never had a lord. I toyed around with giving the lord some kind of triggered ability on drawing a card, but ultimately decided that for their first lord, the goal should be elegance. Hence a straightforward +1/+1 bonus instead of something clever.
(This and anything else I might post this week is on autopilot while I maintain radio silence until Saturday night. I'll respond to comments Sunday.)
I appreciate Ixlan's avoidance of +1/+1 for 3/4 tribes. It really is a weird color pie bleed and it fits some tribes more than others. However that cat might just be out of the bag.
ReplyDeleteIt's a relic, but when limited to a tribe I don't find the +1/+1 to my dudes an especially egregious break. With the looting ability, I particularly like the tension it creates in making them more aggressive on one side and more controlling on the other.
DeleteI did consider things like whenever you draw a card, target creature can't be blocked, or mill 2, but none seemed particularly cohesive with the looting.
