That might be intentional, after all, this is white. Instead of casting this to get your attacker through, cast it on defence to royally wreck their plans.
Deathtouch and lifelink still work, but pretty much everything else doesn't, yep.
One wrinkle: I believe that in the situation where I attack with five 1/1s and a 6/6, and your 1/1 blocks my 6/6, then I cast this to make my big guy unblocked... my big guy is actually still blocked. (509.1h "A creature remains blocked even if all the creatures blocking it are removed from combat.") You'd need horrible wording like Balduvian Warlord's middle sentence to prevent that :/
How pleasingly flexible. And let's you do "Get down off yer cloud and outta yer shadow and fight me!". And um, cancel first strike, and trample and this really does a number on anything other than big numbers, doesn't it?
Another tie is that they are destructive events as a "Corrossive Gale" may cause. You'll notice that I didn't choose any effect like card draw, creature pump, life gain or token creation.
This is, btw, actually a top-down design since I started with the name and a concept of "acid rain but wind instead of water". It destroys things that are "in the open".

Good concept! I wouldn't be surprised to see this in a Core Set.

Hah. That's a constant thorn in the side (as it were) of the card concepters for this green common slot. See Return to Nature, Crushing Canopy, Return to the Earth...
Other than "These are the things green can do" what's linking those together thematically?
