Sweet! Nice representation of a classic quote.
Yowsers. This'll normally be "Destroy two target creatures. Draw a card." Which is some hideous combination of Dead Ringers and Annihilate. I might prefer it if there was some other means for determining which of the three survives... perhaps the one with the highest power, or a random one, or something. Though that'd make this more of a red card...
it is interesting because you have to have 3 targets.
Ideally you will target 2 of your opponent's creatures and one of yours and destroy the opponent's creatures netting you a card.
HOWEVER...sometimes you may not have any creatures but your opponent has a threat or two you need to deal with so you will have to let him draw a card out of it.
And it's a risk to play it on two opposing creatures and one of yours -- if your opponent has Altar's Reap or other instant-speed sac, I think they can leave you destroying you creature and not drawing a card (?)
Hmmm. No, I think this would be like Leeching Bite: you announce what you're doing to the targets as you choose them.
I think I like this at its original casting cost - it is a subtle reference to the quote - may keep a secret if are dead - lol
Wow. That is some subtle stuff going on there. No one would figure it out until it got highlighted in a 'Card of the Day'. :)
yeah I only noticed it myself when I wrote that post something like what 6 months later ??? LOL
This works more like Cannibalize: the decisions on what to do with the creatures aren't made until resolution, and the destruction has to be dealt with first.
