I think this is quite clever and sensible; I fear it's actually overcosted. and for "must be blocked" is quite expensive (cf Nemesis Mask), and this isn't even consistently "must be blocked".
I like this one. Hit player? hurt them a fair bit. Hit their walker? Hurt the player a fair bit; both by denial of resources.
So it makes sense from flavour, and mechanically it's "You really want to block this creature. Really."
So it works. Personally, I think it's not enough planeswalker hate ("When ~ deal combat damage, remove all planeswalkers from M:tG" perhaps?) but that's a side issue - the land destruction is usually probably nastier.
Oh, that's right. ( ? ) results in .
Alternatively, I really like planeswalker hate like this, cognizant that it means something, but in a separate context from the rest of the game. I understand Link's annoyance. It is likely, though, that time will favor my opinion. It's really hard not to jump sharks in a game with 40 (?) designers/developers. If precedents are to be set, it's better to set it the right way, as opposed to the Despise way, where it's treated like any other card type.
I really don't like specific planeswalker hate like this, even though Wizards set the precedent with Despise.
Nice. Will normally work just like Cunning Wish, but just about enough differences to be worth existing. I do wonder if this should exile itself, but maybe wishing isn't as dangerous as they thought it was back in the day.
flavor text
If there's no legal targets, I think the triggered ability itself gets countered and no copy is made.
The problem here isn't "can't be countered"; if it somehow ended up making a copy of an uncounterable spell with no legal targets, the spell would resolve and do nothing to the illegal target. The problem is creating a copy of a spell without ensuring it has some legal target first.
aha! I knew there was somewhere that "Cannot be countered" made problems :)
Oh, of course. What about a random targeted spell when the opponent has shroud (Leyline of Sanctity, Witchbane Orb etc)?
My issue is that I think this is the only card that can potentially create copies of spells with no legal targets. You're creating a copy of Oona's Grace that can't target you and (if the opponent has shroud) can't target the opponent either. What happens to it? (Okay, in practice I guess the answer is "it gets countered on resolution"...)
Since you control the copy, it targets your opponent.
What's it meant to do on things that say "target opponent" like Appetite for Brains (assuming a standard 2-player duel)?
