Original card.
The skeleton has been officially finalized, and I need, like 4 or 5 uncommons per color. Good. This will give me a chance to spackle the rest of the holes.
Rashka, the Slayer's flavor text no longer fit on Rashka, so it needed a home. The set needed a white uncommon removal spell. It needed a Holy Day, too. So I figure this fulfills 3 roles.
At the last second, I moved this to WW from 1WW because I wanted to push it... but this might be too much. It does technically have a drawback... you can't cast the Holy Day side if your opponent is attacking with something huge that can't be targeted. I don't know... I think I still overdid it. I'm guessing I should drop to 2 damage.
The artwork looks like a Green card, I know. But Robot Del Espacio's subject is actually Rashka, the Slayer. So how am I not supposed to use it? Also of note: The artwork contains no arrow, yet Rashka is pulling on her bowstring. Umm...
White has gotten Righteous Blow and Sunlance as precedence. Considering one's a shock and the other's a sorcery, I agree this should only be 2 damage for WW. It's still pretty efficient, since you essentially get a free fog too.
However the damage ends up, it's a pretty awesome design.
Yeah, editing to 2 damage. I was thinking of waiting 'till playtest, but I'm sure I'd only end up proving what I already know.
