CREATURE — TREASURY
Deregulatory Push⊙ 3Destroy target barrier card named 'Glass-Steagall'. Then, search your deck for a 'Mega-Bank' and put it onto the battlefield.
Plausible Denial⊙ 2Counter target spell from a 'Regulator' or 'Whistleblower' card unless its controller pays 2. If they do, you may draw a card named 'Derivatives Boom'.
Golden Parachute⊙ 1When Rubin is targeted by an 'Investigation' or 'Subpoena' card, exile him until end of turn. He returns with a +1/+1 counter.
As Treasury Secretary (1995-1999), Rubin advocated for the repeal of Glass-Steagall and opposed derivatives regulation. He later joined Citigroup as chairman, earning $126 million in compensation from 1999 to 2009. Public records show he claimed ignorance of subprime exposures until mid-2007, and Clinton later stated he regretted following Rubin's advice on derivatives.
