I must ask if I'm templating this correctly to fit with the way that Wizards words card text.

I'm going to let someone else field that... I'd just like to say good job finding this space. That's a really good ability. Personally, I'd move it away from the number one land destruction color, since you should probably have to work to match this up with Stone Rain, and I'm sure some people will have a problem with the fact that red is the color of fast mana... so it seems weird that red would also be the color that punishes fast mana.

As an effect that doesn't really have a place, this seems fine in red, but I could also see it fitting in white.

The wording seems fine to me.

I could see it in blue, actually. While blue wizards often play signets, that's mostly because their own color rarely includes fast mana. It's also very rare for blue to sacrifice (this spell would be a shoe in for blue if it bounced) but it does on occasion... this card feels a bit reminiscent of Fade Away and Rishadan Cutpurse.

While we're talking about the color pie, I might mention that this card is a way to get rid of enchantments, and red normally has a problem with that. I'd ignore that peccadillo if there weren't other color pie problems.

Yeah, this is a good rare sorcery that should exist in some colour or other, but I don't quite know which.

I vote for white. It's symmetric, and ostensibly about enforcing (or making up!) a "rule" of some kind.

Heh heh. I actually designed this as a white card, but my set is almost done and I'm out of rare slots for white. So I flavored this card as someone getting emotionally fired up about someone getting ahead in the game and "catching up" by bringing the opponent back down to size. I dunno if that's a good enough excuse to not make room in white for this card, but I'm so close to finishing my set that for now this is going to stay red. Everyone's comments are much appreciated and will be taken into consideration as I fine-tune things.
