And instant too. Wow.
Mythic.
A really nice splashy one. (Also, it should exile them when they resolve; because otherwise rather than being an interesting splashy thing where you resummon all your creatures, it's "I cast this giant growth 5 times, and win")
Mythic for sure. Thank you for the nice comments!
Could you show me what this card's text would look like if i were to follow your advice? I don't think I understood it, but i do respect it and need it
I think Vitenka misread your spell. This is a mass-resurrection spell, not Yawgmoth's Will. It's interesting that the simplest possible form, "Return all creature cards from your graveyard to the battlefield", has never actually been printed. There's the symmetrical version, Twilight's Call; the even-more-OTT version, Rise of the Dark Realms (and Grimoire of the Dead); the swap-for-battlefield version, Living Death/Living End; the turn-them-all-face-down version Ghastly Conscription; and it even exists as a planeswalker ultimate, on one of the bad intro-deck planeswalkers, Liliana, Death Wielder.
The big difference between this and the ultimate of Liliana, Death Wielder is that this gives you infinite reuse of sacrifice abilities. It's instant-win with a lowly Mogg Fanatic or Fanatical Firebrand. (The other difference is that you get cast triggers such as on Eldrazi, but that's a very niche case.) I think the one-and-done version is a bit more sensible.
Alex's win condition is scarier than mine. But yeah; that's the kind of thing I was scared of.
I mean, what you want to see from this is "And now I summon, not one, but ten different cost 10+ things, muahaha!" rather than "Ok, I cast this crappy little thing 750 times, and win." Eh; maybe you just put up with it.
But if you do want to change, wording could be something like: You may cast cards from your graveyard for free. Creatures are exiled instead of going to the graveyard.
I don't see the problem with comboing off with this, it IS a 7 drop mythic :P
but i suppose I would go with Vitenka, it allows for more triggers (etb and cast, while only one is supported in this set, it sure could be useful elsewhere)
