This feels like a red card: repeatable pinging of creatures.
It feels like it'll shut down a lot of decks.
Yeah, it is definitely too oppressive for an uncommon.
Hmm. I find this interesting. Would you gentlemen also insist that Plague Spitter need to be a rare nowadays?
Pretty sure that they wouldn't print it nowadays. But it has two built in limits this doesn't have. First - it hits everything; including your creatures and you. Admittedly, you know it's coming so you can avoid playing utility creatures; but it's a limit. And secondly - it only has 2 toughness itself; so you cannot stack multiples (Admittedly; this is too expensive for getting 4 in play to be reasonable.) And any single extra pint of damage will finish it off. This is a lot harder to kill.
It's not completely impossible (though yeah, totally should be red) just very very ouch. "You run utility creatures? Now you don't, guess you lose."
Maybe in a 'battleship magic; set, to really push the metagame towards nothing but huge stuff?
agreed will shift color, and make it rare.. pretty good too
