Another 0-damage spell. How to do this?
OK, this combines the worst aspects of lightning bolt and dark ritual. Admittedly, neither card has very many bad aspects at all. But, you know, it's worse than lightning bolt, it must be printable, just about, right? :)
I don't know how useful it actually is when it often won't really be able to do anything. But I just like imagining those moments when your opponent is guessing whether you have something big in reserve to cast...
Bwahahaha. I love it. Which terrifying overpowered effect do you want me to have? To a player this will usually just be a Lava Spike unless they're having a serious paranoia shortage. On a creature, though... haha, so much fun. Reminds me of Blazing Salvo, but this is much more fun.
Blazing Salvo can be pretty fun too. I remember a game where my opponent played a clutch creature, I salvoed it, he took 5, I salvoed it, he took 5, I salvoed it, he sighed and took 5 more damage. Then I Shocked it.
