It’s Magic.
I… I kinda feel guilty for everyone and everything.
She feels guilty for making you pay 1 each turn to tap it.
One time in a draft I had 3 creatures enchanted with these, so I pointed at them and ssaid “Sightless Ghoul, she left you because you drank too much, Stormbound Geist, your parents divorced because of you, and Geralf’s Messenger, she was 13!”
‘1: Tap enchanted 13 times.’
Combos with Goblin Medics!
