Top-down design of the kind of thingie that took away Ob Nixilis's spark.
It would be a little more flavorful, but this is now red, so I'm willing to respect that.
it really should be black.
Yes. Very flavourful mechanics.
Interesting take.
I just read Godsend so I thought I'd go to the deep flavor for what I think is a disappointing card for a very interesting character.
SPOILERS:
The idea is that Kruphix gets mad at the Gods interfering with the mortals so he seals all the Gods into Nyx, making them unable to contact the mortal realm. The card does so by trying to separate everything enchantment-y from the rest.
At first I thought about "Enchantments can't be creatures or Auras", but I figured Gods and other Nyxborn creatures would still exist and fight in their own realm, which led to the shadow-like ability. With other Gods, the battlefield is the mortal realm and the Gods are in Nyx when they are not creatures. With this card, it would be like the battlefield is split between the mortals and the beings that are in Nyx. Since Kruphix is already adding Nyx into the battlefield, I thought he wouldn't need the conditional devotion to be a creature.
Fair enough. It's a bit weird, but what the heck.
You would deserve a prize for something like that.
Actually, I prefer it to be a Johhny open combo with cards like Divine Intervention. It isn't like it's going to happen that often, so you might as well reward creative thinking.
No; the design aim is clear and the functionality is pretty much there.
Punchy wording, to make it only work from symmetric sources... Hmm.
How about:
~ deals 3 damage to all players at the start of your upkeep.
If the game would be a draw due to multiple players taking damage at once, instead; you win.
If you use this, the idea was to make a suicidal deck, probably using Sulfuric Vortex, Flame Rift or Earthquake. So it would be weird that you couldn't finish the game with those cards and instead had to wait until your upkeep.
Aside from that, I thought the other ways to draw a game (Zaping a player with 1 life if you have no cards in library or creating an infinite loop) were pretty rare. I didn't mean for intentionally drawing or going to time in a tournament to work with this, so that might need some clarification in the wording.
Is there any other problem? Mostly this card relies on the sexyness of its wording.
