Luckling 4U
Creature — Shapeshifter (M)
Remove Luckling from your deck before playing if you're not playing for ante.

Luckling has all supertypes, card types, subtypes, and abilities of cards in the ante zone.
Luckling's power is equal to the total power of creature cards in the ante zone and its toughness is equal to those cards' total toughness.

Jenga!™ 1UR
Enchantment (Un-R)
At the beginning of each end step, use one hand to remove a card from the middle of target opponent's library (without separating it into two distinct libraries) and exile it. You may play that card from exile as long you control Jenga!™
Whenever you cause the top card of an opponent's library to touch you or the table, sacrifice Jenga!™

(N.B.: yes, Hasbro owns Jenga!)
