I don't understand why Telim'Tor's Edict is rare (or why that many apostrophes are necessary). Removing the cantrip is good enough, I think.

I suppose you could Donate a Delusions of Mediocrity or an Illusions of Grandeur or whatever, and then exile it for instant damage. 20 for {r} would make this better than Lightning Bolt. But still.

I'd say it's rare because, 99% of the time it's useless. So there don't need to be many floating around.

The apostrophes are pronounced 'boing'.

­Telim'Tor is named that because he is. (Also because he's an anagram of "Mr Toilet". I wish I were making that up.) The Edict belongs to him, like his Darts, so they get an apostrophe just like "dude1818's designs" would.

I think part of the point in the Edict was to allow a very cheap red cantrip, which is otherwise pretty non-existent: Overmaster, Crimson Wisps, any others? I dislike seeing cards that are strictly inferior to printed cards. If you really want to remove the cantrip, how about increasing the number of targets? "Up to three target permanents you own or control"?

"Exile target permanent you would like to control" is more red, but less templatable :)

I was joking about the apostrophes.

I'm going to make the effect actually matter in this set. Maybe a red creature or two that get bonuses for each exiled card you own.

@Vitenka: :D

Honestly, I think TTEdict is rare because, at the time, it was a new ability. Plus it allowed you to get around scary powerful black enchantments like Necropotence without having to break into a third color.

Nowadays, sacrificing your stuff isn't new. This card, as printed, seems rather playable to me. I don't think it's as useless as Alex makes it out to be, since it A.: Fizzles a fair number of spells and effects, and B.: Cycles whenever a permanent you control would die. That's not counting the time the card does what it was intended for: Getting rid of dangerous cards and killing Control Magic]. I'd run one or two.
