That's a good point; maybe this won't really do enough usually to make it worth including.
Mine very nearly did :)
Yeah, I can see that. I'm sure some custom set somewhere has a
Wrath...
The unusual ability was inspired by wanting a pilot leader who could benefit from not just pilots like Daredevil Pilot but also Dashing Pilot.
Nice. Oddly reminiscent of Decree of Pain
I'd say the enchantment.
It's in the nature of CMCs that, usually, the higher CMC creature will be better anyway, so a one-shot effect won't turn that many combats around. An enchantment, OTOH, lets you build your deck around high-cost creatures that have lowish stats (presumably for some neat effect) and keep your back covered in combat.
This area of design space is odd. This card is better than Dosan's Oldest Chant, although that was Kamigawa. It's also Kiss of the Amesha minus
and minus one card draw.
Could alternatively be an Enchantment, saying "Whenever a creature blocks or is blocked by a creature, the creature with higher CMC gets +1/+1 and gains first strike UEOT". (That'd be even more reminiscent of First Come, First Served than this version is.) Any thoughts on which is better?
Somewhat similar to Wistful Thinking, but that was Planar Chaos... It's yet another tweak on the
"Target player discards a card" that gets a variation every large set.
One option is to move this to set 2, and introduce Fortifications in that set. In the meantime I could just create a different painless mana stone for this set.
I added an extra rare slot to each colour (removing the rare land slots that I wasn't using). So now I could split this up into two cards if I wanted.
It feels not ideal to reprint a card that was in both Mirrodin and Scars of Mirrodin. But the set wants a Pacifism effect, and it doesn't want to be another artifact hoser, and I've always like Arrest since its original Mercadian Masques printing.
I'm not sure if this contravenes the rule that black can't sacrifice its own drawback permanents. I've never been sure about that rule anyway, because there are things like Claws of Gix and Synod Sanctum, but if this does contravene, I should probably follow the rule anyway.
An evoked Nevermaker, or a monocoloured Temporal Spring, or a sorcery Repel that can hit other types of permanents. Hasn't been printed in this simplest form apart from as the multicoloured Temporal Spring.
