Besides, I don't think he would use the TF as an offensive weapon (even if Dan might).Crashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16367191173666077257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742505051983569195.post-52345017248718671462010-09-22T10:26:07.338-05:002010-09-22T10:26:07.338-05:00B.F.M. isn't split, he's the reverse of sp...B.F.M. isn't split, he's the reverse of split: one thing, two cards as opposed to two cards, one thing.

I have to say, your Tedd clearly captures the character better. For the sake of "why not?", I'll type up mine:<br /><br />Tedd, Young Mad Scientist 2GU<br />Legendary Creature — Human Advisor<br />Whenever the creature type of a creature you control changes, you may have that creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn.<br />1(gu)*: Tedd, Young Mad Scientist and another target creature become the creature type of your choice until end of turn.<br />2/2<br /><br />*Green/blue hybrid mana<br />I see Tedd as very green/blue, the color combination of the Dr. Moreau careful experimentation school of mad science, as opposed to the blue/red Doc Brown ADD tinkering school, though I could see an argument for a little of both.
