This is interesting. Though, I would have used 'When Hidden Crab.... until end of turn." In part because it's frustrating, but also because of complexity reasons at common. I'm sure some new player with a sorcery would have to be corrected that they can't use a Flame Slash on a Hidden Crab that blocked this turn.
Apparently this is from five years ago, but it's interesting to lose hexproof not just when it attacks but when it's blocked -- they actually need to block it to get rid of it, though that might be blocking with something small to turn on the kill spell. I like the way that it's never unanswerable, but requires some resources to deal with.
Complete Rework
Oh shoot, spitting sliver was Planar Chaos
Black first striker is offbeat, no? Especially big ones have no precedent in black essentially.
Fair point. I’ll make the change.
I like the combination of name and effect.
