These were the original Alpha "Lords." Lord of Atlantis pumped Merfolk and granted them islandwalk, Zombie Master granted Zombies swampwalk and a regeneration ability, and Goblin King pumped Goblins and granted them mountainwalk
You can't stop a Teferi, Time Raveler, though
I really like the ones you mentioned, seems great Vorthos targets for the Lich, a so much valuable object like the Crown it's perfect target haha Following the "empire" cycle you mentioned: Hand of Vecna, Eye of Vecna and The Book of Vile Darkness seem great and flavour objectives
If first non-Lemur creature spell with flying you cast on your turn doesn't have generic mana in its cost, the cost will not be reduced and the cost reduction will not apply to the next spell you cast that turn
As you cast it, you can tap two untapped creatures you control, and if you do, you copy Rally the Galadhrim
But its clear as day that Tinker is and always was a completely broken, insanely overpowered card from the moment it was printed
