Disfigure

Spells as Creatures Idea

If you could do it over again would you give spells power and toughness? For example, Lightning Bolt could have 3 power and 2 toughness, and then a Disfigure on the Lightning Bolt could kill (counter) it?

I would not. It would cause far more confusion than it’s worth.

Mana Cost Removal

Doesn't it bother you that at one mana White has Path to Exile, Red Lightning Bolt and Black, which should have the best removal, can only get Disfigure?

The problem is white and red have things too powerful not that black doesn’t have things powerful enough.

White Removal Critique

Isn't it weird for white to have the permanent, efficient removal that is Path to Exile? When I think of efficient removal I think of black, but most 1-drop removal in modern is Bolt (makes sense) or Path (less so). I wish instead of Path we had some kind of super Tragic Slip, like Disfigure but with the additional option of sacrificing a creature to exile the target instead of -2/-2ing it.

If you have read me for any length of time, you would know that I am not a fan of Path to Exile or any efficient version of white removal that allows it to get rid of anything. I much more prefer White having answers with answers such as Pacifism and Oblivion Ring.
