Renaming Kingslayer? (Resolved)

My card, which recently tied for 1st in the Potion cost Design Challenge (Yay!):

Kingslayer: $3p
Action
+1 Card
+1 Action
Choose one: +1 Card, OR Trash a card from your hand, OR +1 Buy, +$1

The name doesn't feel right to me. What do you guys think?

Note: Feel free to discuss the card itself as well.

It's not a Knight card though! And +1 for the GoT reference.

How about Lackey (or whatever the correct way to spell it is).

Steward provides a few options.

You can send your lackey to the Lab or to the Market. :)

Ser Jamie?
FTFY

Lol, I actually typed Ser many times referring to Dark Ages Knights, but auto-correct kept correcting me. As non-native English speaker I've never realized that Martin uses wrongly spelled term till now.

I vote for Panacea, the cure to all ills. It might have a little confusion with Aqua Vitae, but I like reflecting the Alchemy and versatility

Hmm, it is your choice of:

- Lab
- Upgrade (almost)
- Market

Umm... I've got nothing from those.

I like OAM's suggestion of Panacea.

Homonukulus?

Gets +1/+1 as Familiar, so its related. Each Alchemist can make one that fits his needs.

(It's spelled "Homunculus".)

True story:  I nearly named my card Homunculus.

I like Panacea, though.

Here's are two name ideas that thematically fits with a card that can do many things:

Prima materia: The primitive formless base of all matter, given particular manifestation through the influence of forms.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prima_materia. "According to Plato, the four elements are derived from a common source or prima materia (first matter), associated with chaos. Prima materia is also the name alchemists assign to the starting ingredient for the creation of the philosopher’s stone. The importance of this philosophical first matter persisted through the history of alchemy." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosopher%27s_stone) [This one is clearly alchemy-related, but is a substance, rather than a profession]

Factotum - A general servant or a person having many diverse activities or responsibilities. The word derives from the Latin command (imperative construction) fac totum ("do/make everything"). (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factotum) [This one is a person/profession like many action cards are.]

What about Beleaguered Assistant? You've got him running around doing all kinds of jobs, including those not in his job description, like trashing (killing) cards. However, I am aware this makes no sense with a Potion cost. But, whatever.

Graystripe, any opinion?  If not, you should make a poll!  It looks like Homunculus would win though.
