Daily Card Redesign #184: Otherworldly Journey

Daily Card Redesign is a daily Magic: The Gathering design exercise where I randomly choose a card for the scenario of it being scrapped late during its own set's development. I design a replacement card that uses the same art, is the same color(s), is the same rarity, and has a name that, alphabetically, keeps it within the same collector number for the set.

ORIGINAL:

REDESIGN:

The flavor is that the little guy in the art is going on its own journey to confront the Kami and come back later a changed, legendary warrior.

This card can be used both offensively and defensively. Also, I enjoy that in case anybody tries to abuse the enchantment and put out a bunch of creatures to take advantage of the chosen name - the legendary flavorful inclusion then becomes a way to control that behavior from happening.
