History:

2013-09-06 12:46:51: Alex created the card Safehold Sanctifier

See Challenge # 085. This time I rolled Elvish Hexhunter. Given that green and white can destroy many things other than just enchantments (see Elvish Scrapper, or Mangara of Corondor) I decided to amp this one up for mythic.

I found it hard to choose between two approaches - effectively the Selesnya Guildmage vs Vitu-Ghazi Guildmage approaches. Do I have the two abilities costing {g/w}{g/w} and {3}{g/w}{g/w}, {g}{w} and {3}{g}{w}, or {g}{g} and {3}{w}{w}? It could be interesting each way.

There's the version which casts Naturalize/Disenchant or Purify:

> {g/w}, {t}, Sacrifice ~: Destroy target artifact or enchantment.
> {g/w}{g/w}, {t}, Sacrifice ~: Destroy all artifacts and enchantments.

But that doesn't feel mythic enough.

The version which can cast either Bramblecrush or a Mangara of Corondor-plus-To Arms:

> {g}{g}, {t}, Sacrifice ~: Destroy target noncreature permanent.
> {2}{w}{w}, {t}, Exile ~: Exile two target permanents.

It's an interesting approach, but I think I'd rather keep things balanced.

So I went for this version. The P/T are pretty aggressive, like Dryad Militant, but this is a mythic whose text box is possibly more suited to a rare, so I wanted to increase the eyebrow-raising-ness.

Scary 1-drop. My Proclamation of Rebirth deck needs more of those to actually be a deck.
