I'm really surprised they never made this:

WHITE BLOOD LUST
{1} {W}
Instant
Target creature gets -4/+4 until end of turn.
Cycling {2}

I wanted to keep it 1W to mirror blood lust, but then it's just awful. I was going to make it a cantrip, but I think I like cycling better.

I'd love to call this "Karn's Touch" since this is essentially what he does but that name is sadly taken, and by such a terrible card, too.

Current wording:

Iron From Flesh
{1} {W}
Instant
Until end of turn, target nonartifact creature gets -4/+4 and becomes an artifact in addition to its other types.
Cycling {2}

Rage of the Righteous for the name?  Might need a restriction that;s in-flavour for White (in theory, anyway).

How about:

Iron From Flesh {1} {W}
Instant

Until end of turn target non-artifact creature gets -4/+4 and becomes an Artifact in addition to it's other types.
Cycling {2}

I think this card should definitely be called "WHITE BLOOD LUST" in all caps.  That card sounds amazing.

I like Harlequin's take on it because it suggests uses in an artifact themed block outside of just what it does for combat.  It having "Cycling 2" seems like an admission you won't always want to play it.  It making the creature an artifact gives you (potentially) less reason to cycle it, which is good.

Yeah, I like what Harlequin did with this.

I really want this to make the creatures power not drop below 1 as long as it wasn't zero to begin with.  Thoughts?

Doubt it's worth the complexity of writing that text.

Anyway, I think you nailed this one pretty well.
