You missed one, 6 words for the flavor text. And, I believe it was printed beginning of 2006. Not sure on that one though.

A hexagon is a six sided polygon. If you just killed five, it wouldn't be a hex :P

@ BALDOF
I think both cases would work - only shroud protects against targeting. And yes, since it doesn't say "If it's destroyed this way..." I guess you'd get life as well.

Just think of it as a semi-Damnation that can spare some of your creatures if you are lucky, but costs 2 more in exchange.

This is good in token-producing decks. Assuming that the average opponent will have about 2-4 creatures out at any given time, sacrficing two or three of your Saprolings or Eldrazi Spawn to wipe the opponent's side of the board is a deal few would turn down.
All in all, this is an example of great card design. A noob just sees "six creatures", thinks it's awesome and doesn't realize the drawback. An average player sees the drawback and dismisses the card. A smart player sees both the drawback and the potential, and figures out how to avoid the former to get the most of the latter.

I don't think it's a n00b trap. It is limited in 1v1, but in multiplayer, and moreover in EDH? It's like a one-sided wrath, and in EDH mana matters little. 3.5.
