Mass Effect Complexities

New • 22 Jun 2023 • Asked by mythmonster • 38 Comments

Could Wrath of God and Damnation (minus the regeneration text) be printed into Standard, power-level and color pie wise?

I’m not sure where mass effects in Standard are supposed to sit right now.

Protection Mechanic Reflection

New • 06 Feb 2023 • Asked by nadavlevintov • 35 Comments

Regarding making things simpler in retrospect, Would you have changed protection so it will protect from boardwipes? I've had many occasions where I had to explain how protection works to new players and it's really hard to explain why protection from black doesn't protect from damnation. Thanks!

If we had to do it all over again, I believe protection would work differently.

Request for Cheaper Black Wrath

New • 30 Oct 2021 • Asked by kynelan-mdw • 103 Comments

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.

Looking for Damnation Spoiler

New • 22 Mar 2021 • Asked by skychai • 46 Comments

You (or one of the readers of this blog) wouldn't happen to have the gif of the original damnation spoiler where the wrath of god changed into it would you?

We recently looked for it for an article, but it wasn’t usable based on how it was originally created.

On Damnation and Color Pie

New • 21 Jul 2020 • Asked by bunsenburn • 44 Comments

Is Damnation a color pie break? Is Languish the closest black can get for a 4 mana wrath? I know it comes from Planar Chaos, as a colorshifted card, but some of those colorshifted cards actually aren't pie breaks (Such as Prodigal Pyromancer, Mesa Enchantress, Ovinize, and Seal of Primordium). Is black still unable to have an unconditional wrath at 4 mana? Perhaps one without regeneration mentioned, like Day of Judgement.

Damnation is not a color pie break. Black can kills lots of creatures.

Possibility of Damnation Reprint

New • 13 Jul 2020 • Asked by frozentoday • 60 Comments

I know that Damnation is hard to reprint with regeneration no longer being used, but could we ever see a black version of Day of Judgement to take its place?

Maybe. : )

Black Wrath Sorceries

New • 23 Feb 2020 • Asked by treacherytheardilous • 63 Comments

If wraths are seen in both black and white, why does mono-black has such a small number of wrath sorceries? Damnation, Crux of Fate, Life's Finale, the one from the original Theros Block, Bontu's Last Reckoning... and that's basically it. I'd like to see black having more Wraths.

Because it’s a distant second to white in Wrath effects.

Archetype Legendary Creature

New • 23 Feb 2018 • Asked by sprdrkbacon • 57 Comments

In EDH, there are a lot of tools for a "you have choices but all of them are awful" archetype(choice of damnations, painful quandary, forbidden ritual - kinda -,remorseless punishment, so on), but i dont recogize a nice legendary creature for this archetype. Can you make one?

I’m not sure I understand the archetype or the colors it wants to be.

Silver Border Mechanics

New • 17 Feb 2017 • Asked by pieguy396 • 9 Comments

How does Choice of Damnations work in Silver Border? Can I sacrifice all but 2 1/2 permanents?

No. You can only choice ½ for damage.

Set Fit Assessment

New • 21 Aug 2016 • Asked by sjosten • 18 Comments

Not a Damnation question, but similar: when you get to the point where you can ask "Does X card fit in this set?" what cards do you ask about first?

It depends greatly on what the set is.

Reusing Damnation

New • 28 Feb 2014 • Asked by ununnilium • 19 Comments

Do you think there's a good chance of you reusing Damnation eventually?

I think there’s a chance. I’m not sure I would say a good chance.
