Random Generator gave me Cornered Market and Galvanic Blast. There were a number of ways I could have gone with this, including reprinting Echoing Ruin. I do like this version, but I kind of wish the number of blasts could be equal to the number of permanents with the same name. Oh well.
Man, I'd just love to see this exchange:
P1: Plains. Essence Warden. Go.
P2: Mountain. Go.
P1: Plains. Essence Warden. Essence Warden.
P2: Telescopic Blast?
Originally, this looked for 3 copies, and copied itself twice. That's both a difficult corner case to achieve, and a lot of damage for
to pump out, just because an opponent cast Scatter the Seeds.
So I dropped it to two makes a copy. Oddly, by making the card not crazy, I made it better. Go figure.
