Changed from Orbital Bombardment to Planetary Bombardment. I think it's unofficial canon that "orbital bombardment" is a replacement for wrath of god, so I'll use a different name. And "planetary bombardment" sounds nastier anyway.
Instead of Wrath, we have a black kill-everything spell.
That makes a lot of sense. It's probably a bit too good... at least compared to Pillar of Paruns it is. There are plenty of control decks that don't really need to run any creatures... and the creatures they run are often large game ending bruisers. Maybe I'm thinking of 20th Century Magic... but if you couldn't play creature spells off this, or if you couldn't use the colorless, I'd say it was a 4-star card.
I'm thinking tri-land. I wish tapped artifacts or enchantments meant something so this could be a proper cycle, but I guess no. Even the Tri-land theory is probably more powerful than I'm giving it credit for... that means players can run 20 of these in the same block. Hmm...
I'm not sure if this mechanic should be on a single card, or used on a cycle. I'm not sure if it's too weak as a drawback, but it suddenly hit me it was a really obvious drawback to a dual/multi land without making the land itself be tapped.
I was looking for a sensible green anti-hover spell, and realised this fit. I wish it didn't hit creatures with orbital, but I think spelling that out would just look clunky. It's not that efficient, but is a good answer to any sort of evasion.
It could be white, but the groundquake flavour fits green, as does the "ok, now we stomp with no more fancy tricks" mechanic.
Originally this was red hurricane, but I decided it needed to target, and it might as well hit only one creature so orbital creatures are still harder to remove.
Maybe it should hit hover as well so it isn't quite so narrow?
This would normally be green, since red has direct damage spells anyway, but orbital creatures are supposed to be difficult to deal with, so it doesn't matter as much as long as some colour has an answer. This may still be around when all the normal burn spells are snapped up in the first few picks.
