Cards like K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth and G'raha Tia, Scion Reborn offer powerful abilities that cost life to activate
Even when disconnected from its wider story though, the flavour text here does a wonderful job at selling the huge investment that players must put in, not only in building this marvellous structure, but also in activating it
Getting this specific card requires significant luck
Reducing both associated costs makes this a great glue card: Youll never notice it, but it holds things together
All of these cards can be cast for their front side casting cost, or the alternate More Than Meets The Eye cost, to have it enter the battlefield converted on its back side, similar to transforming effects found on many werewolf cards
