See Challenge # 112.

I was brainstorming more Velorn spells, around the idea of a pantheon. I couldn't think of anything very diety-like, but I thought of something vampire-like :)

Unfortunately, it's not very Velorn -- I imagine the gods ruling, maybe capriciously, but not hunting in packs. Unless anyone can think of a name which saves the flavour?

I was trying to think of a spell which could do double duty as a clunky removal spell at common for limited, but also have a niche as a potentially useful spell in a tribal deck. I'm not sure that's a good idea, but it makes me feel less sad about designing spells I know most players won't like :)

I definitely like that approach to clunky common removal spells. Make there be circumstances under which they're actually pretty good.

It's a very neat idea for a card, but it doesn't necessarily feel Velorn to me. "Perfecteds' Judgment" or "Pantheon's Judgment" might be a better name for Danahar
