The rest of the quote if I had the space would be "Life is about money. I did not invent that concept, but since it exists, I decided to simply profit from it."
Also I think its pretty funny flavor-wise. "Pay N life... Pay? To who?" Well, to this guy!

Inspired, and art provided by @AboveAndAbout
For a while I was spitballing on this with no idea. Almost everything has black, or white in their eyes. - Why would someone not want to appear appear their color at all?
Because they are a Dimir secret agent spying on another guild.
Ever think how obvious the "covert intelligence" in MTG is? They say what side they are on and that they are a spy or infiltrator right in their name. Art to color match in magic is nigh 100% even for these guys.
Not for our anonymous spymaster:
Just ignore him, perfectly normal desk jockey. Very friendly, even sends you a little helper that he can block without hurting Nothing to see here. Move along. Why have a large group trying to spy at many locations if one guy reading the confidential files of another organizations that gathers intel can learn so much more.
Note - While he is a mono-colored card, a color shift was needed. Boros has radiance. Sooner or later they would wonder why everyone in the office was untouched by the embermage's flame but that one guy. Then when the medic treated him, the magic only surged through Bob, not more than half of the Boros Bro squad? Suspicious.
Text size was a real challenge because we realized it is nigh pointless against any deck (aggro) that burns though it's hand. Fortuinately, Dimir's first original mechanic was getting rid of a card you don't want to use. Added it's second so that even if you do not put him in place as a spy and send him to fetch the whatever thing you think you need more than him he takes a look around your own organization and report back to you with Dimir's third signature mechanic.
Oh, and yes, I like to explain the thoughts that go into complex cards like this guy. That's just how it I am.
So, this is definitely a chaos card. It causes another aura to jump around attaching itself to different permanents and changing that aura's controller. Being so specific in the first line of the text is a bit inelegant, but did eliminate lots of headaches regarding what it could attach to. It also prevents it from ever trying to enchant itself, which would be hilarious but also maybe give someone an aneurysm.
not sure if increased cost counts as "harming", but it's still a drawback
Team A has 1 more challenge, Team B has 4 more challenges, and Team D has 2 more challenges.
Good luck, everyone!
