See Cloud and Challenge # 145. I almost made this multicolor, but blue gets Reality Shift, Pongify, and Curse of the Swine all on its own.

Cool.

What's interesting is how similar this is to Mercy Killing.

I knew this seemed familiar. I feel like Mercy Killing is a color pie bend/break, though.

Oh yes, I love the flavour of this for a blue "remove but in exchange for something else" card. It makes more sense than a lot of existing examples. And I quite like the trade-off of getting no power back, but a cloud of chump blockers potentially being a reasonable trade-off.

Thanks. :-)
It would also suck for the caster if the other player had an anthem or Gavony Township effect.

Yeah, Mercy Killing is certainly a stretch in green, and is a bit odd in white. I remember at the time Maro described it as "a card that feels at home in green-white hybrid even though it would be odd as either a monowhite or a monogreen card".
