item 3028 (880g) + item 3067 (850g) + item 1033 (400g) + Combine Cost (470g) = 2600g

+200 Health (532g) +50 Magic Resist (1000g) +10 Mana Regen (600g) +20% Cooldown Reduction (633g)

The base stats are 106.35% gold efficient, without the passive effects.

Unique Active - Stand Strong: Grants +15% bonus Magic Resist for 3 seconds (60 second cooldown). Unique Passive - Mana Font: Increases Mana Regen by 1% for every 1% of missing Mana.


Reasoning

There is currently a lack of tank items that provide both mana and magic resist stats. Additionally, there are no big ticket CDR items for tanks that focus entirely on AP defense (Aegis and Spirit Visage favor team utility & health regen over mana and CDR). When combatting an AD heavy team, Frozen Heart is the common sense item that solves mana and defensive issues for tanks, but currently there is no good answer to an AP heavy team for tanks who need mana and CDR to peel efficiently for their team.

Overall, tank items need some buffs without indirectly buffing bruisers/fighters.

I felt that my original active passive was a bit too strong, so I toned it down a bit to provide damage reduction only for magic damage. It requires timing to get the full benefit of reducing upfront burst from mages, which seems like a fair trade-off.
