By Invitation Only

Request for Cheaper Black Wrath

Can you please tell us if we will ever get a "Damnation" type Wrath effect in Black that doesn't cost 6 mana or has White pips along with it? I find it super frustrating during spoiler season to see White wrath spells only. I love control magic but hate always having to play White. An example from the new set is By Invitation Only and Path to Peril. Why couldn't By Invitation Only been Black 3(B)(B) because it is sacrifice not destroy? Also why did you have to put a White pip in the Cleave cost for Path to Peril? Can we please get a decent Black Destroy All Creatures in Black that is at max 5 MV?

White is better at it than black. It’s gets it more often and it gets it cheaper. If you don’t want to play white then you don’t get access to the things white is best at at the cost white gets them at.

White's Sac Mechanic Query

With By Invitation Only, could white get Innocent Blood? (As a bend?) Or is it like green destroying planeswalkers where white getting each player to sac one creature is only acceptable as part of a larger scale effect?

White sacrifices on this card mostly because it’s how we could get the cleanest template. We’re not planning to do “target player sacrifices a creature” in white (barring some strong bending due to set theme).
