REPRINT: Disembowel.

Are reprints a faux pas here? Or do you mean I should just label it as such?

No, nothing wrong with putting reprints in a set.

It's just a lot of us comment on cards not realising it's an existing mtg card. And end up looking silly commenting on it :)

I'd say this is a bit non-nwo for being cost at common; and also kinda weak. Unless you environment has a lot of tokens or is a really high aggro environment while black is mainly battleship - and so needs this to survive - that it feels a bit odd.

Nothing hugely wrong with it; balance is technically fine.

Yes, the "REPRINT" comments are purely informal for other commentators and not meant as any warning sign or anything. So I'm just helping around :)

Regarding NWO it's good to remember that technically 20 % of all commons are allowed to be redflagged - though as of late WotC sets seem have been breaking this and they have also been mentioned of being high in complexity by MaRo. Being redflagged doesn't even always mean that the card is problematic. The purpose is just to shift complexity from common to higher rarities. At least in principle, under NWO uncommon cards are allowed to be more complex than they might have been allowed to be previously.

So yup, this would have to be allocated under that 20 % - if "New World Order" is something you care about.

Yeah. Disembowel predates NWO, but there have been a small number of X spells at common even under NWO: Death Wind, Heat Ray, Untamed Might. It's not out of the question by any means.

Disembowel is a fine card for Limited: easy to kill small things, harder to kill big bombs but still capable with enough mana. The perfect Limited common removal, really.
