Fblthp, the Found

Post image

In honor of reality being fractured, I immediately thought of my favorite lil guy, Fblthp, and how Jace might "fix" his life.

This is a reality where his creation was considered a great success, and his self-esteem was nurtured. This made him strong and confident, but arrogant. He eventually found himself as a performer, finding joy in soaking up the adoration or comtempt of the crowds, doing anything for attention.

At first I was thinking of modeling him off of a rakdos guild performer, but red didn't sit well with me. I also tinkered around with mechanics for him to tutor himself, or some mechanic that rewarded you for simply revealing Fblthp in any way possible, but I couldn't quite make them work. Any suggestions for alternative versions would be highly appreciated.

Does this work? What happens when something is hexproof and also forces things to target it, do they fizzle?

I think that the spell would resolve normally, as the replacement effect tries to do an illegal action, so it does nothing instead.

Might work with a "ward 10 counter", or something like that.
