Cool Card Design of the Day
Here are a few Wrath effects that don't address the problem of disrupting the game's story, but work a bit differently than most.
Cool Card Design of the Day
Let's look at a few Wrath effects that are less disruptive to the game's story. Divine Reckoning, Cataclysm/Cataclysmic Gearhulk, Barter in Blood, and Pyroclasm are a few of the existing sweepers that mitigate the problem by affecting fewer permanents. Settle the Wreckage offers compensation (which is sometimes irrelevant, but often not).
Jay's discussion regarding Wrath of God effects yesterday was very interesting. I don't fully agree with his thesis, but it definitely raised some interesting questions.
In the meantime, it had me thinking about wrath effects, and I came up with this.
Cool Card Design of the Day Every day, I design a new card and discuss it briefly. Sometimes I will examine new possibilities for colors or mechanics, sometimes I'll re-examine existing executions and sometimes I'll just design something I think is neat.
