Repulse

Soul Enervation Query

I'm not good at English, sorry.
Question about Soul Enervation.This reminds me Flametongue Kavu from twenty years ago.I play him, my opponent Repulse his only one creature, then FtK dealt damage to himself.Why Soul Enervation doesn't say like "up to one target ~" or "~ creature an opponent controls"?

We like that black cards occasionally hurt you. It feels very in color.

Design Philosophy: Reinvention

I've got to say this: I'm pretty unhappy when every set there seems to be a necessity to sistematically reinvent the wheel. Galestrike and Crashing Tide could've easily been Repulse, what's the point of creating strictly worst versions of it?

Reinventing the wheel is what we do. We could just print Giant Growth every set four times a year or we can do lots and lots of design riffs on it, each one with a different nuance. And yes, some will be strictly worse than others. Not all cards are played together in the same format, sometimes a card is aimed at a constructed format, sometimes a limited one.
