I do really like the new added extra rider of making it unable to active its non-mana abilities. I don't know if it's really the type of thing you can just slap on top of it without modifying the cost at all. Is there some sort of specific goal for this card? Increasing its mana value is prolly a bit much, dunno, so could it perhaps cost
?
Both Contaminated Ground and Pooling Venom are effectively colorshifts of Psychic Venom with a little extra boost, so I might add a little extra rider on this one as well.
Mmm, blue would probably achieve much the same effect but by granting hexproof.
Or, well, there was that phase where blue got 'prot land' and 'prot dragon' so - sure, actually granting yourself protection from instants and sorceries could have been a thing.
Umm, this can't be alright in blue, can it?
Is friends with Deathgaze Cockatrice I assume.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I like the colorshift though I think this effect is more black these days than red (lifeloss versus damage question aside). Contaminated Ground and Pooling Venom for example.
Is that a copy-paste error or are you intentionally turning it into an artifact creature?
"Pinging" was how blue was supposed to win in early Magic; either through creatures like Prodigal Sorcerer/Pirate Ship or tax-like effects that slowly drain a player like Power Leak, Feedback or Psychic Venom and/or related to that "punishment" effects that basically are soft removal like Creature Bond and again Psychic Venom.
From the perspective of Alpha it makes incredible sense to be blue.
Fourth Edition doubled down on that theme with Relic Bind & Backfire. Seventh Edition is the first core set to not have that card after the theme slowly got pushed out of blue except for pingers, so it was the second to last bastion of that theme.
There is an 'h' in "Rabiah".
"was blocked"
The heads are growing back though...
The real problem with these cards is that they are immune to damage when pumped, something Ugin's Conjurant solved IIRC.
Just as broken in red as it was in black.
Hey! Guess what card you can use a much more concise wording on now!
This feels less of a color break that Hydroblast and Pyroblast, but only barely.
Considering the originally greek roots, I'll toss in the name Photoblast, though Lightblast is not bad.
Green is the only color that cannot get this.
It once was already half-shifted towards blue with Stream Hopper and before that full-shifted to blue with Manta Riders.
Perfect name.
Are you confused between sets? This one doesn't contain a single Monk.
Hmm, it's an ability we've seen a few times before - Arctic Foxes is probably the earliest; and - huh, this is basically a type-change of Fleet-Footed Monk. Which is odd, since I thought monks ere one of the things this set was about?
Anyway - sure. Perfectly decent ability, and I can see it in other colours (blue's had one; for example) but white seems to be its home.
"Daunt" is the opposite of this.
The official generic mana cost for this kind effect is
, as in Scour from Existence.
can get you a discount. This is fine.
Urk.
I have no idea what colourless should be able to do. This feels "Ridiculous! Desert Twister was silly enough; but colourless?" Only then, I think about it a bit - and there's plenty of precedent. Unstable Obelisk and Universal Solvent both say it costs
; though Spine of Ish Sah is absolutely bonkers and is 
repeatable. So non-repeatable and double 
in cost for a total cost reduction of 
is probably fine.
So wow. Good hit. Vindicate does indeed fit in colourless at this kind of cost; and certainly thematically fits, what with 'Annihilate'.
