Ben-Ben, Akki Hermit

{2}{R}{R}

Legendary Creature — Goblin Shaman

{T}: Ben-Ben deals damage to target attacking creature equal to the number of untapped Mountains you control.

Some akki thought of Ben-Ben as a kami of trickery in disguise. They hunted for him in the maze of warrens, often falling prey to his traps.
