There are no comments yet for this card.
I would say that this is actually the second worse of the commands, but second worse out of some of the most versatile cards ever made is not bad at all. The very fact that it's variable in cost and power, and it's choose two is really really good. 4.5/5.

This is still a great card, but it's not one of the better designed commands. The fourth ability is weak, not because it's bad altogether, but because it's too situational and lacks synergy with the the other abilities. I wish it was something like "target opponent reveals X cards in his hand, discard one of them", or simply "gain X life." "Draw X cards and lose X life" might be a bit on the broken side, but would still be appropriate, color wise. Cryptic Command has "Draw a card." That's never a moot second ability to add onto any of the other three insane effects it generates. This is a great card, but Cryptic Command got the attention it did for a reason.

@ jetzine: all of the abilities you suggest would be good, but they would be too imba if you could choose two. those abilities would be balanced if you could chooose one.

Omg, 5/5, any 2 of those plays combined is a game winning situation. You can make your enemy lose x life then give a bunch of your big creatures fear and attack all in one turn doing 15 damage and winning the game, slap an overrun on those attackers and even your saprolings can bring a harsh beat down. Bringing back a creature straight from your graveyard to play doesn't hurt either, and if you use the negative counters on an enemy creature you kill one of theirs as you do it. All in all a really great command card, I can see why cryptic command got so much attention, but the other commands need more love too, especially one with an x cost that can do ridiculous amounts of damage.

While the fear ability might be frequently pointless, the other three more than make up for that. I often forget how powerful the second ability can be.
