Artifact Burlap Whip Artifact for 3: Pay 2 and tap: Reveal
the top card of target player's library. If that card is a creature, remove it from the game underneath Burlap Whip. When
Burlap Whip leaves play, put all creatures underneath Burlap Whip into play, and each player takes one point of damage for

one ring/ Who may be waiting there." Rachel Field (1894 - 1942)
