@LunarSol: "Should have been:

Put a -1/-1 counter on target creature.
Proliferate"

How about that. Grim Affliction does that for one mana less.

Come on, I know its overpriced but speaking about limited - removal always deserves top picks, so they have to make a few occasional "bad" removal cards. And - would you really want to see a card that for 2-3 CMC instantly destroys very good cards that EVERYONE plays (talking about Myr) AND draws you a card? Not to mention it is pretty good with proliferate and is actually never a dead card - you can always shrink their creature while drawing a card... Its no Doom Blade, but it deserves higher marks

How does this get released, and Virulent Wound gets put out in the next release? It had a spot in proliferate decks maybe, but now it has been rendered entirely useless.


Nice art.

Meh, it could worse. It could be Ember Shot *shudders*

Removal is removal. Even if it's weak and costs a lot, some decks will still need this if they can't get their hands on better removal. If you have a few proliferate mechanics it's not even 'entirely' pathetic.

Still... very expensive, when you consider Fume Spitter costs 1 for the same effect without a cantrip, AND you get a 1/1 body in the deal.

Yeah, Scar... hybrid cards were typically undercosted, so I'd put the target -1/-1 counter effect instant at 2cmc. 2 more for the draw? You won't be happy to play this card, but if you're playing it, it's because the guy to your right grabbed all of the good removal.

Such a shame...

I love this art, but I will never use this card.

Compare to Scar.
Come on Wizards, the cantrip was not worth 3 more mana.

Should have been:

Put a -1/-1 counter on target creature.
Proliferate
