Very high risk / high reward going on here. I don't think Wizards ever would print this card in a core set, since it's going to make some new players rather unhappy when they find that they're spell fizzled. I suppose I could just have it target that creature's controller. I wonder why I never thought of that.

Also, when people talk about matching a Triplicide up with a card in the set, they often mention Ignite. That's much too expensive to be a real plan, but I got to admit that 18 to the head is pretty ridiculous.
