Gut feeling: This seems about right; and quite flavourful.

Hmmm. Exile rather than destroy; and can hit (big) pingers... but attackers only after they've dealt the damage.

I can see this. It's a lot cheaper than Avenging Arrow; but that 3 damage requirement is a reasonable restriction (and avenging arrow is crappy)

Oh! Hah! Reciprocate. Which is this but without the restriction (but uncommon).

removed "damage to you" and made it just, "damage."

@Vitenka This was meant to be a better version of Avenging Arrow but with some restriction to balance the cost. But I forgot about Reciprocate, so I see I needed to up this card's power.

Well, Reciprocate was uncommon... and they did make a full framed player's reward card out of it, expecting the card to end up in a lot of tournament decks... but it never caught on. I don't know what sort of lesson one should take from that. Evidently the Future Future League thought it was a powerful, flexible card... but it didn't see the type of play that Condemn got...
