Green Knight

This card is inspired by the new world of Avalon, and by the King Arthur mythos that inspired Avalon. In the tale of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, the un-named Green Knight challenges King Arthur's court. Whoever strikes him, he will return the same a year and a day later. Sir Gawain, believing himself clever, decides to strike a great killing blow, beheading the Green Knight. However, the Green Knight is a magical being -- he picks up his head, which says that it shall return a year and a day later to return this attack.

So, we have this card that Life wizards can quest for in Avalon. It is a singular, mighty attack -- just like Sir Gawain's attack. But, there is a powerful, delayed return strike against the Life Wizard with a trap against the Life wizard (like the consequence for Feint).
