In my continuing effort to shame Flying Men.

­Jace's Phantasm suggests that WotC was interested in shaming Flying Men as well.

Not quite as effective a Blazing Shoal target as infect creatures are, but...just about gets there.

Doesn't Blazing Shoal have CMC 2?

When it's on the stack, it takes the chosen X into account, so the Shoals are probably the easiest ways to generate spells that cost 6 without having to wait for the mana to come flooding in.

So this into Blazing Shoal exiling Greater Gargadon would just about kill?

Guess it's a good thing they banned Shoal.
