For Challenge # 078 Random CMC was 3. (from the 0-8 range)
And I wanna do triple-lightning!
: As an additional cost to cast ~, discard two cards.
Deal 3 damage to target creature or player.
Deal 3 damage to target creature or player.
Deal 3 damage to target creature or player.
But no, best not to. For 3 mana you get 3 damage and an upside nowadays (e.g. Annihilating Fire), or 4 with a downside (e.g. Arrows of Justice)
Creature damage is cheaper - black gets "Just kill it" at that cost, on creatures. Green and blue, of course, just get shafted for burn.
Colourless? Wel,l you get the, um, kinda not usefully colourless at all Ghostfire dealing 3, Moonglove Extract dealing 2, and lots of 'repeatably deal 1'.
Now, white- iconically, gets Reverse Damage - and also gets to punish creatures in combat, and redirect damage (e.g. Zealous Inquisitor)
So. This seems like a good combat trick to me.
Mm, nice. Like an infinite Shining Shoal but with the targets required to be a creature and a player. Slightly odd how it can work like an Artful Dodge - perhaps it should say "that would be deal to target creature you control"? - but otherwise fine.
Oh yes, I see your point.
I can't help but compare this card to Martyrdom. Different enough, though, and 1998 was a long time ago...
