These effects seem kind of messy and glued together. Why three?
My thought process went as follows
1. Remove sky counters to board wipe creatures.
2. Not feeling mythic. Make removal more impactful?
3. Considered one-siding to nonaerial creatures plus enchantment/planeswalker removal.
4.One-sided removal seemed to strong for 4 mana
5.Planeswalker and enchantment hate still on [the] table.
6. Don't want to field wipe of all other permanents, but knocking out a few planeswalkers or enchantments is probably significant.
Here's another issue:
This card's name sorta translates into "Fart" kekekek
Maybe something slightly different? I don't know your lore here, but given this card in a vacuum, maybe some version of "Gas Attack" would be better?
Personally, I like "Neurotoxin Deployment"
@Froggychum I was going for the methane hypothesis of the Permian-Triassic extinction event. The CO2 hypothesis would still work without conjuring farts.
