Wow long winded flavor text, although it's quite fine.
The actual card is subpar design. I'd suggest having it pay tap and sacrifice.
This super targeted ability is really not gonna be as useful to play (and could possibly harm you) if you have to play a kill spell first or you mass wipe it out.
It would be way better as an activated ability imo.
Also the name is neat, but i dont see how it fits with the idea of killing stuff?
If you'd like it to match the flavor text, it could be like this:
, Sacrifice ~: Destroy each creature you don't control
First of all, breaking synergy like that usually costs extra, so i put it up slightly. But also if it were symmetrical, it would be seriously easy to abuse in this set.
Also board wipes are at rare.
If you wanna keep it as a single target spell, you might wanna make it's flavor text something more focused, ie inflicting pain on someone. But it could stay uncommon and be like:
, Sacrifice ~: Destroy target creature
I can't make it a baordwipe ability, that would be at rare, and i am out of rare slots. Flavorfully Activated doesnt fit, it has to BE killed. So i have sac outlets in this set, this guy wants to die. So he works fine in the set. Also Doom Walker means "Somebodies doom" i expanded upon it, flavor dont match card perfectly. But i like it too much to get rid of, and still makes since. Some cards dont match up with flavor text in every way. I think the card is fine. I mean, what you mentioned is really cool, I just see the card being good as-is. It fits into the set very well, and on its own makes sense to some extent.
You could have an arguement about it flavorfully
but in play this is mechanically sub-par. The only time it's ability would be useful or not detrimental is if you use a sac outlet to kill a creature for a creature, plus paying at least 6 mana
Whisper, Blood Liturgist can do this more efficiently, repeatedly for less mana
I never said it had to be a good card, and destroying creatures is a pretty powerful effect. Still, I get your point. Its sub-par. I think it works, and it could kill more than one creature, right?
But, I have an Idea, I will do an edit, tell me if you like this more...
