Mmmm. Pithing Needle for creatures seems decent.
It definitely needs refinement. I want this to nod towards the secret tech that was employed on the Day of Silence without outright revealing what happened. I’d also like it to be something of a foil to the number of freakish game-breaking 2-drops in Modern. You know, like Tarmogoyf.
Nice card, but I don't think it's mythic. I love the flavor lead-in to the next set.
Or... New and current template: any time someone gets burned, all of my enemies get burned. Share the love. Especially in group games. Like Boros’s “Radiance” on people.
The white, as I see it, comes from the fact that he goes all retribution-burn against any non-creature thing that deals damage to you. To be fair, he doesn’t just go wacky only when you get hit, but he does get those payback punches in for you. He’s what happens when Searing Meditation gets itself Crossblighted.
Perhaps he burns all players instead of one player; this would play a nice little head-game twist on white’s “treat everyone equally” philosophy.
I don't see anything especially white about this guy at the moment, in fact he looks Super-Red if anything else.
It'd be totally bonkers, but working with the flavor text and the Mythic rarity, what if it had a suped-up Kor ability?
: The next 1 damage that would be dealt to a creature is dealt to target creature instead.
or more ridiculous:
If Crossblighted Zealot would be dealt damage, prevent that damage instead. If damage is prevented this way, Crossblighted Zealot deals that much damage to each other creature.
Alex might understand how to template that better, but I think it works.
Reminds me of Talon of Pain. And works jolly well with it.
An eeenteresting feint. "I attack you with this! But, not really, instead I attack you with all of YOUR creatures!"
Okay, I give. We'll push him up to a 6 CMC. I don't think it'll have that much effect on people wanting/not wanting to put him in a deck. Plus with the updated green Evidence trigger being just short of “draw a card”, it's probably the right call.
As for wanting to use him with more attack phases, see General Eli Marrick.
