| Seton, Krosan Pansy | ||||

So apparently in Odyssey if you're a big time legend you get a desire. So
Kirtar, Kamahl, Seton, Aboshan, and the Cabal Patriarch all got a nice
little enchantment in addition to their own card. They were originally going
to have a Desire enchantment for Braids, too, but they were pretty sure
a card involving sodomizing corpses wouldn't go over to well with parents.
Anyway, so that kind of makes the Big Five the central legendary themes
for Odyssey.
Four of the legends are pretty tough. Kamahl is basically a lightning bolt on legs. Aboshan is like Opposition for non-flyers, and that's just ugly. The Cabal Patriarch is one evil fucker. If one of his minions isn't useful any more he can use it to kill off an opponent's creature. Then he drags the maggot-infested corpse of his former servant out of the graveyard, squeezes some more Death Juice out of it, and kills something else. Oh, and he's a 5/5, which means you aren't going to kill him with his own Desire, so just save your little speech about how ironic it was that he was killed by his own ambition. Even Kirtar is respectable, what with the fact that he can kill a Spiritmonger. Let's see now, who does |

that leave?
Oh, yeah. Seton, Krosan Protector. More like Krosan Useless Son of a Bitch, if you ask me. For GGG you get a 2/2 creature. Now I know what you're thinking - if he's no bigger than a Grizzly Bear it must be because he's got some kind of amazing special ability. Well, buckle in, kids, because this is a doozy. With Seton in play, you can tap Werebears for one Green mana! Actually you can tap any Druid for one Green, but who the hell plays with any of the Druids other than Werebear? And if I'm reading the flavor texts right he's supposed to be some kind of pit fighter, and he goes around giving Kamahl advice. Yeah, like I'm supposed to believe that Kamahl is going to listen to this swayback. I'm thinking the first time Seton starts popping off about how "Nature holds the answers" Kamahl starts reminding him about the time in the arena when Seton was about to get killed by a Filthy Cur until Kamahl lightning bolted the fucking thing, only Seton was so scared he pissed all over the pit floor and the Diligent Farmhand standing behind him slipped in it and cracked his skull open. That should shut him the hell up. Go run the Kentucky Derby, you useless fly magnet, and leave the fighting to the big boys. I'm thinking if this is the guy officially in charge of protecting the Krosan Forest it's pretty much screwed. The clear-cut logging camps are probably already stripping the entire forest of trees, while Seton stands around saying "Rise, my brothers, and tap for mana!" Real fucking dangerous, Seton. Hey, here's an idea - if we want to keep people from raping the forest, maybe the guy in charge of security should be some kind of huge, monstrous beast that could actually win a fight with something bigger than a squirrel. Hell, there's some squirrels that would actually be able to take Seton's lunch money on a regular basis. My guess is that he just thinks he's the protector of the forest, but actually all the other Green creatures make fun of him. They set him up, saying things like "Oh, sure, Seton, you can take that Dirty Wererat. In fact, why don't you go open a can of whoop ass on him right now?" Then they all laugh their asses off watching Seton get mauled. So if you see Seton coming at you don't worry, the forest isn't really angry. If it really wanted you dead it'd send something more dangerous, like a Druid with a pointy stick or a couple of monkeys armed with their own feces. |
