Something like:<br /><br />1BBB<br />Deathtouch<br />BB, T: Ahab deals 1 damage to target creature and that creature deals X damage to Ahab where X is that creature's power. <br />At the beginning of each end step if a creature dealt damage by Ahab this turn died, put a +1/+1 counter on Ahab.<br />1/4Maokunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15459710218366288832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8972120889629675714.post-1542417555085569452017-01-30T02:10:32.176-05:002017-01-30T02:10:32.176-05:00Yeah, you're probably right. (In fact, Ahab...Yeah, you're probably right. (In fact, Ahab's erudition—"Ahab's been in colleges, as well as 'mong the cannibals"—probably gives him a splash of blue, too.) I just want Ahab to be monoblack because I'm a biased misanthrope who's still only running and continuously torquing his Sheoldred EDH deck. (It is 99% <i>compleat.</i> I'd really like to get my mitts on an Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth someday, though.)<br /><br />Hmmm. What characteristically monoblack tricks could Ahab perform, I wonder? Paying life to draw cards would work against Monomaniac, so that's out. Ooh. What about paying life to gain control of creatures/planeswalkers permanently? (Oh hard! That to fire others, the match itself must needs be wasting!)<br /><br />Or, heck. Menace + when he attacks, defending player sacrifices a creature and/or discards a card or something.<br /><br />And yes! Yes! THAT IS PRECISELY HOW IT SHOULD BE WORDED. I might even have to edit and repost the cards.Patrick Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02410016566636603639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8972120889629675714.post-19300151391488195242017-01-29T09:46:41.467-05:002017-01-29T09:46:41.467-05:00Ahab's ability to steal creatures for a turn i...Ahab's ability to steal creatures for a turn is a staple red ability but it works well because Ahab is (in my opinion) quite red, in addition to black.
