Love this thread, I actually came up with a small handful for my deck once, but narrowed it don't to the most appropriate: Jeleva(Copy/Steal): Felwar Stone "What do you have that I cannot obtain?"

My deck turned out a lot better than I expected, but only if I'm given about eight turns to set up by self-mill and getting zambies.

"It is better for all the world if, instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes... Three generations of imbeciles are enough."
--Buck v Bell, 1927. This case, regarding the compulsory sterilization of inmates at mental institutions, has -- somehow -- never been overturned. Just a wee PSA for ya.
Maga, Traitor to Mortals was a student at Minamo before it was destroyed. He was exiled because of his obsession with demons. Because of that, I'm going with the flavor text of 8th edition Phyrexian Arena- "A drop of humanity for a sea of power" because he's totally a dude who would sell his humanity for a bit of dark knowledge and let's be honest... who wouldn't?
Edit: I went back and re-read some of the previous posts and I see that Nakhla beat me to the punch. Great minds think alike I guess.
