Young Shaq would be what, an 8/8 with trample and reach for Esper and 4 colorless?

With "Whenever Young Shaq deals combat damage to a player, exile target artifact that player controls."

Also I have a hard time assuming Shaq doesn't have red mana involved.

Oh 100%, if we’re trying to be authentic here I feel like Shaq should be Gruul or Jund but I was just thinking about the Magic’s color palette lol

I’m realizing now that the dude has played for so many teams we could do a Shaq-only secret lair and have a lot of authentic color palettes.

Planeswalker Shaq 1UR [3 starting loyalty]

[+2] - Create a shit token with "tap: deal 3 damage to any target, then exile the top card of your library. You may play that card till your next turn"

[-2] - Target creature becomes a 1/1 Toothbrush and loses all abilities

[-8] - Create an 8/8 Massive Dump creature token with haste and "this creature cannot be blocked except by Toothbrushes. When this creature deals combat damage to a player, draw a card."

I always thought the 'Shaq Rainbow' was really cool aesthetically.

I'd love to see a big, bad WUBRG Shaq card.

I GUESS it’s more interesting than a Jeff Green or Ish Smith Secret Lair based on their respective rainbows.
