IDEA:
evermore414
NOTES:
The Minotaurs familiarity with Mazes allows it to cloak a permanent of its choosing from the opponents sight.  This ability can be used defensively to hide one of your permanents from your opponent.  Alternately it can be used offensively to hide one of your opponents own permanents from himself so that any active ability cannot be used, passive abilities function normally.  Minotaur cannot attack when guarding a permanent.

Very similar to my Sphinx idea except I thought it might be more fun to use a creature that was cheap and squishy.  I also liked the idea of having to decide whether you wanted to use it for attack or for the ability and when to do which.  Also I thought Cloak might work better for the ability than Enchant Artifact.  Originally I wanted to create a Minotaur that would use a Maze ability on another creature taking them both out of combat for 1 to 3 turns but it only seems right to use Earth for a Maze ability and Earth already has the Iridium Warden which does basically the same thing.

You are making the skill look like an active skill and that it targets a random permanent.. I'm pretty sure you want it to be activated manually. Also, it's too wordy. Since I'm an English nerd, I'll help you out here: "-insert quanta used here- : While this creature is in play, the target permanent cannot be destroyed. Absorb  :earth per turn."

-insert quanta used here- <<<< If no quanta is used, just put 0: in its place.
Tasted the world, seen more than enough.

Fixed.  That does sound much better.  Thanks very much!
