This works. One-sided reverse Fecundity also seems to be a good answer to, like, half of the challenges that are bound to pop up. It's enough to really be a problem if your opponent hits critical mass. But if they don't go all in, the card stops being important. Meta.
Also, Modern slivers might be doing the "all players thing" after all. A new sliver producing land for M15 has been leaked, and while it doesn't say whether or not slivers say 'yours' or 'all', it does revert to the old artwork for slivers. So, I guess it's up in the air right now.
Perhaps it uses the 'broken' card, Nightfall Predator to hunt the hunt the Nightfall Predators? I would assume that any deck that required green, red and BB would be harder to build, and thus more fragile. It's certainly possible that making this decklist trump the original decklist could normalize a tipped over Standard.

Nightfall Predator -> Arena Vulture though I fear it's also a combo with, not just a flat squasher of)
Wow. I had no idea the number of gold creatures was that close to the number of monocolour creatures. That's pretty crazy.
Hmm, fair point. Not sure how one ought to create a hoser for Gaea's Skyfolk then, but I guess this would be making a pain of itself in casual every time a new gold block comes along.
Yes, yes and yes. Gaddock Teeg catches me, because that card really does shut off a lot of the field for cheap. Leonin Arbiter is harder to call, since it doesn't stop the ability... just makes it much less practical.
Let's put it another way. What if I suggested this card was printed because white weenie was out of control?:
Creature
Mono-White creatures get -2/-2.
2/2
Current number of multicolored creatures in the game: Aprox. 875
Current number of mono-white creatures in the game: Aprox. 1,250
Is it worse than Engineered Plague, or Illness in the Ranks, or Night of Souls' Betrayal? Worse than Gaddock Teeg or Leonin Arbiter?
Form of the Kraken vs Seasinger
Tricky. While I can't imagine why Pentavus became busted in Standard, I would wonder if its because something else is consistently dropping its activation costs to
. Maybe this is the "Expensive activated environment" block, and there's a lot of cards that drop the activation, and they threw in Pentavus because it's silly here, but it turns out it's too good? I blame the fact that they reprinted Cathars' Crusade in the same set.
Vitenka gets the gold star. I was talking about how this roughly shuts down 15% of Magic history, which is fine by me, but maybe not on round 2.
For ref, in a recent podcast Maro called out, um , Kor Firewalker I think, as just such an answer card - in that case, red needed hosing down hard.
Works; I guess it's pretty hard to cast a pentavus and already have mana up to save the counters.
I might suggest a more vampiric twist would be "Whenever a +1/+1 counter is removed from another creature, put one on ~"
I made Vampire Septmage as an answer to Pentavus :)
Well, let's try rolling random within multiverse... Mind Flip nets me Mind Trap
I read it as "this is very harsh on gold" and "I'd play it if it cost 4"
But at 4, maybe it ought to be higher P/T to justify the cost.
And maybe I've had too much practice at trying to guess what people are saying :)
I... don't quite understand. Is "rough" saying "this card is very harsh on gold creatures" or "this card is a bit bad in normal circumstances"? What does "taking up the four drop" slot mean for a 2-drop? You're saying this is very strong for shutting down all copies of the Skyfolk and friends, but then that this card needs to be bigger?
Hahaha! Man, even I got to admit this was a good challenge.
I totally buy the "Theros was backed up by an artifact creature set", though with all the good Naturalized in Theros, I assume we must have had a 'Return to Theros', immediately after a 'Mirrodin, Yet Again', with an intervening large set called 'Brothers War Redux: The Timespiral Is Getting Really Specific, Guys'.
Heh, I'd probably have tried to punish "If a player pays more mana for an effect then they really ought to.." :)
Ooh, rough. I guess how rough this is depends on how many multi-color creatures are in that environment, or if it's just the Gaea's Skyfolk that's wrecking things up. Even if this was printed as an answer to Skyfolk, I could see this taking up the four drop. It does, after all, shut all copies of that card down.
Maybe it just needs more p/t to even this card out.
