Idea for the UW11 instant removal slot.

Altered to have a "tap" aspect to it that could be exploited with unbound.

Cool effect. It looks like those two effects were kinda slapped together, I don't see the connection between tapping a creature and destroying an attacking/blocking creature at the same time. Should tap an untapped creature btw, or else it's not much of a hurdle.

I think I'd like these effects to interact more with each other, like Gusto said they feel kind of slapped together. Also feels like it's trying to cover too many bases at once.

Well, originally the idea simply destroyed an attacking or blocking creature, then put a +1/+1 counter on another creature. Is that preferable in its simplicity? I added the tap part to make it feel almost like you're making one particular creature heroically defeat the one being destroyed, and to tag it as the one that "levels up" with the +1/+1 counter.

Ah, I can see that now. I think something like that would be better conveyed by making the creatures fight, so maybe another card could do something like this? As far as this card goes, the simplified suggestion makes much more sense to me.

Yea it does kind of want to simulate "fight" without actually doing it. I'll change this card back to the original idea for now.

Changed to original, simpler idea.
