lol, double posts confuse me! i just editted mine out of confusion about who posted first out of th two of us!
but i like ogres we don't see them much. and actually a creature that likes attention was what i had in mind, too; i was about to make him a creature that lures all targets towards him (in addition to his current ability), but i thought that was too inelegant.

Search your library for a land card and put it into your hand.
Then clash with an opponent, if you win, you may play an additional land this turn. "It seems that our desire to understand our place in the world does cast us into troubled wandering and unrest. I do not understand it either, boy, but come, it's nearly daylight once again. Let's press onward."

3/3
DarkNightCavalier, i'm delighted and impressed with your flavour! i basically threw together random sh*t onto a card to make it look ridiculous in a Legends-set kind of way, but you turned it into a respectable lady warrior! love how you made Last Strike into "blade kindler" and referenced magics of various lands mixing together [perhaps wedge mixtures /would/ make a ridiculous last strike effect? also love the weird "warrior barbarian" creature type, lol! perfect for such a weird card] in the flavour text. well done, and thank you!

actually, i'm curious to see what someone else will come up with it... red-blue is my favourite colour combination, you see.. .

lol, i guess i can try to flavour his card up as well, but i'm not sure how good a job i'll do! (usually i wait for a card that i can flavour well -- unlike you, i find red and black cards easier than green cards!)
