For Challenge # 094. I'm trying to feel around some of the 'Worldfire wouldn't do the thing design wants it to do if it was an instant' space. Devil's Do is supposed to be an all or nothing card. It wouldn't seem right if a player cast Fact or Fiction or Aphetto Dredging and responded with Devil's Do. Granted, those are some pretty expensive combos, and there are permanents that can get around Devil's Do after it's been cast... but that doesn't mean the card makes sense as an instant.
Pretty similar to the Epic spells like Endless Swarm. Which, yes, definitely work best a sorceries.
Yeah, this took me a while to get here, and really jumbled around all over the place. It's tough to create cards that shouldn't be responses. Eventually, I ended up with this card which worked. But while I was filling in the gaps, I realized I was a little too close to Endless Swarm to truly be an original idea. By that point, though, I was done.
