2 mana that deals 2 damage to each creature. Ofcourse, it totally ruins most of White Weeny, Token decks, and every other deck that runs little creatures. It can also get rid of annoying little chump blockers as well. You have to watch out because it deals 2 to your creatures as well, but if you can abide that, use this.

The Duck's Rating: 4/5

A good card against small aggro decks. 3/5

 

[Felix Feral Fezirix]

Red decks. See Selesnya, start stuffing this. Although it wouldn't be such a good idea for goblin decks.......Anyway this feels like uber-cheap Cleansing Beam from Ravnica set for the Boros, except you hit your own creatures too. Not much difference, since if you play Cleansing Beam against a deck with a same colour as yours, you could kick yourself big time......

In conclusion, this card pwns any small creature deck. Remember to keep it big, people, keep those monsters big. Unless you're playing direct damage.....

4.5/5

Of course there IS Aether Flare...

 

[klducks]

You mean Aether Flash?

 

[Felix Feral Fezirix]

Pardon my ignorance, but what in Pestilence's name does that do? Never seen it. Only seen Vial.

 

[Broodstar]

Cleansing beam without without the radiance...good combo with Hunted Dragon 3.5/5

 

[skiboydoggy]

Not to sure, but it's a red Enchantment thing that does two damage to every creature that comes into play. Paired with Furnace of Rath, it's pwnful.

 

[Felix Feral Fezirix]

Obviously. But heck, it only hands it to creatures coming in play. The patheticity. This just clears the board for a larger creature. Pwnage.

 

[skiboydoggy]

You imbecile you...

Hi!

I haven't played TCG's in a long time(3 years.......my dad doesn't approve it anymore) but I think that's okay...Like the card.
