Solemn Simulacrum Solemn Simulacrum is a four-cost (four generic) artifact creature
Its -1 effect will even let it protect itself early, shutting off the damage a permanent can deal for a turn
The major difference is swapping out Hitmontop for Darkrai, which synergizes with Igglybuff's ability to put the opponent's Active Pokmon to sleep
Being a creature makes it easier to answer, and it's more expensive, but the parallels are there
I like that the things immediately around the artwork -- the card name, the cost, the card type and the expansion symbol -- are also being blown away
In black, using Bargain should be easy to make Candy Grapple an all-star removal card that can hit nearly any creature in the deck aside from massive finishers in green like Hamlet Glutton
