Challenge # 023.
so basically the bonus is not a bonus since it happens like .000000000000001% of the time.
Not quite that rarely. If you play this in a Quest for Ula's Temple deck (where all your utility spells are in creature form), then you just need to draw yourself up to 9 creatures in hand using Archivists and similar, at which point this becomes Arcanis the Omnipotent.
Normally though, yes, I'd definitely rather have Arcanis the Omnipotent.
Yeah, when you design a card in the same design zone as Arcanis, it's going to fair poorly, unless you make it overpowered. I had a feeling I should have put "return all other creatures to their owners' hand" so the reward looked better.
Since the whole cycle was supposed to be Johnny, I did intentionally play down the Spike. Maybe I should have gone bigger, though, and drew six or so cards.... make the reward match the challenge. For what it's worth, the Avatar is wearing a nice pair of Glasses of Urza. That has value, even if it isn't as noticeable.
