Ruhan of the Fomori "Burdens and Repercussions"

"Burdens and Repercussions" punishes greedy EDH norms by creating Catch-22s. Voltron pressure, Prison effects and the Sunforger toolbox combine to cause increasing and varying issues for opponents before accounting other opponent cards and strategy. The Sunforger package adds complexity and incentivizes caution (Prudent play) until one can resolve Blasphemous Act or Chandra's Ignition with Repercussion.

Additionally, the Equipment package makes Ruhan difficult to block and adds value and lethality to combat before accounting for the deck's Instant and Sorcery suite.
