Cool Card Design of the DayIt feels great when you can tie an effect that serves a purpose for your game to a strong thematic concept. As the cardname suggests, this story is straight out of Assassin's Creed: No one will see a quiet stabbing in a bustling marketplace.
"Target creature gets -X/-X until end of turn where X is the number of creatures its controller controls."
ReplyDeleteBorrowing from Death's Approach template. The debate between sorcery vs enchantment is also interesting.
The story this tells would make sense as an instant... but it doesn't fit the flavor to be a combat trick. "Destroy if its toughness is less?" Too red? Cmc is less? Just spitballing ideas here.
ReplyDelete"Destroy if its power is less" would make it feel more black, and while it changes its functionality, I think it's fine?
DeleteAlso gives it more of a "powerless to fight back" feel.
DeleteOh yes, nice flavour. I wonder, could it be an instant that keyed off attacking creatures? That would fit the 'confusion' flavour better.
DeleteI love this for a "stabbing caesar" flavor.
