Many-Tentacled Thing
3BB
Creature -- Horror
0/5
B: Tap target creature. That creature deals damage equal to its power to Many-Tentacled Thing. Many-Tentacled Thing deals damage equal to its power to that creature.
The name isn't set in stone, but I would definitely like something cool. I do kind of enjoy the namelessness of it - I think all horrors should have names like this (not a 'real' name, just a description).
The idea is that this horrible thing has lots of tentacles and can fight many opponents at once. Note that the 'combat' this uses also overcomes things like flanking and first strike. Kind of like the Watcher in the Water from LOTR, though that wasn't my inspiration.
I think this is not broken, because it doesn't get really crazy without some permanent power-boosting. Without enhancement, this can only hold off two or three creatures, which is about what a plain old 4/4 creature can do...but with some sort of pump, it can be a real buzzsaw. Obviously rare.

To be truthful, I really kind of liked 'Many Tentacled Thing'

Did you know that Red is the color or art and music and passion? Combine that with Green, the color of nature, spiritualism, and community and you get a hippie commune of drum circles, dreamcatchers, and recreational drug use. Let's see that win a Pro Tour.

I do too. It would need art more like cabal trainee than cosmic horror, though.

Yeah I liked it too, but I wasn't sure if anyone else would. It stands, then! Twenty-four hour clock.
