This is now much better than Hex. This is now a one-sided board wipe and should probably cost 8 or 9.

Well-aware, but this is for a draft set with a ridiculous power level so I'd rather leave it insane and see if I should make it worse later. Agree with you, but that's sort of the point.

Be careful, though. Power level isn't a group of things that you push all up or all down. Board wipes are always good, card advantage is always good, six-drops can be playable, "bad for you but not for me" can make it really hard to come back, etc.

Of course, test, but not just the usual situation in which this can be sort of a Damnation plus whatever dude you happen to have around. Test the worst-case scenarios, like a midrange war that's going pretty fair until someone casts this.

agree with you assuming that a regular set is what is being aimed for, but that's not the case here. we're only going to be playing with these cards once most likely, and it's just a bunch of friends making stupid bombs. there will likely be quite a few "i win" cards, as well as quite a few "answer anything" cards.
