Red can destroy two things outright: artifacts and lands. Both are normally colorless. This stretches red a bit in the same way that Ancient Stirrings stretches green.

Lol. Yeah, that's perfect. I don't THINK it would be printed for pie reasons, but I'm not sure.

I've seen people give green this ability, for similar reasons. It seems more appropos there, imho, off the premise that green 'likes color'. But red seems to work, too. I suppose you could always paint it as "Red being insulted by a lack of passion".

Also, stop trying to make Moonlace relevant. :)

I don't think this is really going to break the pie that often. I mean, how many colorless enchantments are there? That's really the only thing red shouldn't he allowed to destroy.

Planeswalkers too, I guess, but red's always been allowed to shoot those in the face.

I'm kinda surprised we didn't see something like this in the set after Eldrazi, actually. Would have been a good way to bring them back under control.

Hm. Good point this could be green. I think Vorthos says it's green -- green's always had a much bigger "bring in line with nature" urge. But Melvin says it's red -- green can destroy artefacts and lands, but there's no particular reason for that rather than any other combination of non-creature permanents.

I don't think it's unbalancing because, as you say, it will affect almost no cards :) But think wizards avoid breaking the pie whether it's for balance reasons or not -- Maro hated Hornet Sting even though it was weak.

Cards like this make we want to do really stupid things. Like play 4x Ghostly Flame...

Edit: What? Ghostly Flame just makes the damage colorless, not the card? Weird...

Amusingly, amuseum created Lock // Load just 4 months ago.

Also, I thought there was a Bramblecrush variant in RoE that did this. There obviously wasn't, but you can see why they might print one. (And also why they didn't: the whole point in the removal in RoE was that most of it didn't work on Eldrazi.)

I think the pie problems would be for colourless creatures rather than colourless enchantments or planeswalkers. Even so, I think this is fine.

The set that'd want it rather than Demolish would be quite unusual though. There'd want to be quite a few colourless creatures that were small (rather than the gigantic Eldrazi).

­Goblin Cratermaker says I was right to put this in red. :)

Yup
