Huh. A restriction that's generally what you intend to do anyways... in this case, targeting a creature you control and one you don't control. Are you cool with this card failing to boost when your creature gets Shocked and your opponent doesn't have a creature, or when you just want to push three more damage in? I can dig it... since the whole point is to fight. I do think some players will be in for a rude awakening, though.
I do like creature boost combined with fight. Wonder why I haven't seen it yet... does it exist already? If not, good catch.
Well, without the restriction you get "Ok; I buff your 1/1 utility creature, and have it fight your 6/4 stompy creature; they both die. Yay!" Arbitrary fighting is a

sorcery. With the restriction it's
.
So the "you control" does need to be there. The other part you can probably safely forget though.
I guess "Fight and win" might be considered a bit too good? Or maybe they just don't have as many fight cards as we think; given its splashiness. There's only 6 cards with "Fight" in their rules text.
Ah, yes. Okay, let's assume my previous comment only talked about the words "you don't control". Hmm. Let me check something...
Huh. I guess that's the wording on Prey Upon. You can't fight your own creatures there. Interesting. Well it does change the perspective of my argument, then.
