Though give me some credit for not bringing up Piracy Charm as an example of blue discard : )<br /><br />I'm fine with bleed on punisher cards as long as one of the choices is on-color. But for the entwine version of Impede, I wonder if {UB}{UB} would work as a cost for the spell itself and then make the entwine cost {U}{B}: this way the opponent chooses the black or blue effect, and if you want both, you have to pay for both colors.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17647677781801914930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-23752176861304200192015-04-28T11:20:04.086-04:002015-04-28T11:20:04.086-04:00Oooh, this is an interesting one.

It's the ability to cast another Preemptive Counterspell before they're in the black again that sounds miserable.
