When starting MTG I got a Deck Builder's Tool Kit. There was a foil card in one of the packs and that excited me. I read the text. That excited me more. My goal sense then has been to crush someone with it, my favorite card, Blightsteel Colossus.
Once I had 11 Lands in play and Blightsteel in hand. When I top decked a land I yelled toward the heavens, "YEEEEEEEEEEEES!" There was stunned silence as I slammed the cards onto the battlefield. Eventual my sister said in stunned awe, "He actually got it out." I was loving the moment, but before I could attack, Tragic Slip. My favorite card had met what instantly became my least favorite card. So close, yet so far from my goal of annihilation with my favorite card.
I see all the awesome looking equipment abilities, but all I want to use her for is Soldier Tribal. Her +2 makes Soldiers and her -2 gets Skullclamp back from the graveyard. I'm ether in a very small minority, or the only one who wants to use her in tribal.
Retaliate X - Whenever this creature is dealt damage, it deals X damage to that source’s controller.
RWB is an aggressive color combo so I thought a combat mechanic would work well for that wedge.
Furious Vigilante R
Creature - Human Warrior (U)
Haste, Retaliate 1
1/1
It's a Raging Goblin with Retaliate, there's not much to say
Chief Hunter Vigilante 2W
Creature - Human Soldier
Retaliate 1
Chief Hunter Vigilante can’t deal damage to creatures
I won’t hurt you. That won’t do any good. What will do good is hurting your leader.
1/4
I may have pushed the flavor too much which is kind of ironic sense it doesn't make sense without the flavor text.
Solar Fang Cobra 2R
Creature - Snake (R)
Solar Fang Cobra has Retaliate X, where X is its power. (Whenever this creature is dealt damage, it deals 1 damage to that source’s controller)
1R: Solar Fang Cobra gets +1/+0 and First strike until end of turn
Its venom feels like the sun scorching your veins.
1/2
It's a choice between First strike or Retaliate (kind of)
