Most of the time stalls creatures with power 4 or greater. Rarely gives the opponent a benefit.
Thematically fits Kithkin.
And as a 2/3, can't eat a 3 power creature. I could make the effect symmetrical for more 'balance' but I like it as a concept.
are these conditional hosers supposedly bad for the game ? that's what all "great" designers say , yet there is no end to official and custom designed hoser cards .
I don't like to think of them as hosers. To me they're enablers of slower strategies.
Are board wipes hosers for creature decks? Or tools for control decks to compete in an aggressive meta?
I don't recall any such statement from anyone. There was a big discussion pointing out that color hosers are a problematic design when fear/intimidate finally got turned into menace and protection got downgraded to deciduous.
Maybe that's what's meant? Certainly wouldn't apply here though.
Everything should have a counter - the harder the counter, generally speaking; the more limited it should be or the easier it should be to itself be dealt with.
This is... sitting in an interesting place. It's a hard counter to "I have giant creatures". But is not very much use against a token swarm, or even someone with a mix of creatures. It does, amusingly, also let you use a giant griwth as a fog.
And it has the classic "Dies to removal" solution. So yeah, it's probably a relatively safe hoser. Costing only 3 is perhaps a little cheap for the effest, but legenrdaries tend to be stupidly cheap.
A one off "Destroy all creatures of power 4 or more" would be a safer hoser; but this is probably safe enough.
It's an intervening if trigger so if they swing with a 2 powered creature, the ability has already failed to trigger. Bringing it up to 5 power won't stop it. Similarly, casting it before attacks just means they can't attack with that creature, lest no damage be done. SO, giant's growth is more like a 1 turn Pacifism.
This card could probably do with making it symmetrical. So if you accidentally made your creatures too strong, you now can't attack either.
