This is an interesting one. It can be realllly good. But only in the exact right combination of opponents cretaure and you having enough mana. Against a thallid swarm, it'll do no damage at all.
It's also way overpriced for the flexiility; compare to Pyroclasm. Is it worth it for the ability of being decent if there's only one target?
I think we'll change this from always dealing the damage evenly, to modal. Except "instant: deal x damage to target cretaure" is a perfectly solid card all on its own.
Bleh.
Maybe make it explicitly square? "Dela X damage to X target creatures"? That's kinda interesting. Let's go there. Red lfag for too much complexity even at uncommon :)
Allow it to hit players, I think? Makes the wording nice and short, which is good with that much flavourtext!
