Cool Card Design of the Day
3/09/2011 - I originally posted this on the Wizards Wiki in January but Living Weapon Week on dailymtg.com got me thinking about it again so I rewrote it and re-posted it here. All of the cards have been refined and new ones added.
When the living weapon mechanic was revealed, it inspired me to think more about incarnate and its variations. (If you don't know what I'm talking about, check out the first couple weeks of #GDS2. In short, incarnate is the aura mechanic that allows you to generate a creature to enchant when you otherwise couldn't). The choice of 0/0 germ tokens for living weapon seems to support Jonathan Woodward's execution. It's unique and makes it trivial to determine the power and toughness of the resulting creature but I still feel that there is room for another solution. Add to that the fact that 0/0 is now something that has already been done in this realm and we are more or less compelled to find that alternate solution.
