StopShot on Wrath (Color-Shifted Boardwipe) - Contains …

@Flooremoji, A sacrifice edict at four mana is pretty strong. It would even bypass totem armor as well. I wanted the spell to be as close to Wrath of God or Day of Judgment as much as possible.

StopShot on Wrath (Color-Shifted Boardwipe) - Contains …

2 months ago

One of the cards spoiled in Modern Horizons 2 inspired me to create a custom card that would be the color-shifted version of it. The card on the left is an official spoiler and the card on the right is my custom card inspired by it.

Thought Process Designing the Card

Sadly the card text isn't as neatly condensed as the other card. To have the card be white I had to change how the spot removal behaves, as white doesn't do spot removal unless there's a sort of "balanced" effect.

This meant I had to change the text accordingly, however this means I could no longer use the "Overload" keyword as it wouldn't make any sense. In this case I'd have to consider using a different keyword. I considered Channel, but Channel is an activated ability, not an alternate casting of the spell, which would make the effect seem too much like a Supreme Verdict due to being harder to counter an ability.

Evoke seemed like the easiest way to go about this, but that meant I'd have to make the spell a permanent of sorts. Because it was a permanent it also might have additional problems with being blinked or removed later, so I gave it shroud to mitigate this.

How the Card Works

When casting Wrath normally, all players remove their strongest creatures, kind of like a group edict similar to white cards like: Tariff , Renounce the Guilds , Slaughter the Strong , etc.

But when Wrath is evoked it is sacrificed upon entering the battlefield. This causes its "Leave the Battlefield" effect to trigger first by putting it on the stack last. This creates a Cataclysm type effect for only creatures, meaning each player ends up with only one creature, but since the "Enter the Battlefield" effect triggers next, that means the remaining creature each player controls is now the strongest creature which ends up also getting destroyed, effectively creating the Wrath of God / Damnation type effect.

Feedback?

I'm interested on hearing feedback about my custom card idea and if it could be improved, (specifically reducing the amount of text on the card).

I think one solution would be to name the card "Judgment" based off of Day of Judgment . This would mean I could remove the "creatures destroyed this way can't be regenerated," clause as it appears twice and would help to free up much more space.

The card text looks much more pleasing, but the effect might be abusable with creatures that can regenerate.

I agree with your assessment of Morophon, the Boundless ! Your suggestion of Ezuri, Renegade Leader is great and is an upgrade over the current Elf tribe representative, Elvish Archdruid . Although the needed to activate his ability may be tricky in a five-color deck, I think the benefit outweighs the risk. Crux of Fate over Day of Judgment is a flavor win, and Seshiro the Anointed is included in our Changeling Pool as the current Shaman tribe representative. This deck is FAR from being finished at this moment and will include a host of revisions to the 99 and the Changeling Pool. I love your suggestions and your vision for Morophon, the Boundless !! Thank you!!

When Morophon was spoiled, a lot of people treated him as a generic tribal commander, which I thought was lame. Building a dwarves deck with a changeling as a commander is uninspiring. This is the direction I always thought it should go! Nonetheless, I always thought a good direction was to include some of the best tribal payoff cards. Why not include Ezuri, Renegade Leader so that you can pump all of your changelings (since they are elves) and run your enemies over? Why not use Crux of Fate in place of Day of Judgment ? Since your changelings are dragons it won't hurt them at all. There are of course, many slivers that could provide good options as well. Seshiro the Anointed will pump all your changelings and draw you tons of cards. There are, of course, many more payoff cards, but you wouldn't want so many as to water down your changeling team, but to me its worth considering doing what changelings do best, namely, taking advantage of every tribe's best qualities!

Have you thought of using Wrath of God over Day of Judgment ?

It'll stop anybody regenerating their creatures.

Some thoughts:

• Modern is a very fast format. Its usually the case that you don’t want to run many cards at all that cost 4cmc or higher, you’ve currently got 14 which imo is waay too many. It’ll make your deck too slow & clunky, and puts you at risk of dying before you get to cast any. Try limit yourself to 4 cards in this cmc range.

• Even by lowering your curve as mentioned above, you’ll still want to run more lands than you are currently. At least 22 lands for a deck like this, possibly 23-24 depending how many 3-drops you end up running.

• Day of Judgment doesn’t seem great in a deck focused around playing creatures - especially when your decks trying to have the biggest creatures on board. I don’t think you need thus spell.

• Divine Gambit is crazy-risky, as it could just let your opponent win. I’d suggest Path to Exile instead.

looks like a v solid deck. I'd definitely consider adding the Geist of Saint Traft also definitely the Vendilion Clique you might be able to ditch all 4 of your creatures for 2x of those, and then replace the card draw with Frantic Inventory or Serum Visions something. but everytime I've played against the giest it's been a real strong time-buyer for my opponent. Also the clique is super clutch for getting to run some hand snipes in a U/W control setting, without having to splash black.

Also as far as buying time goes, doesn't get much better than some of the gideon planeswalkers. Gideon, Ally of Zendikar is insane, and of the trials is pretty good early pressure as well. I've played with Jace, Architect of Thought before and that card is straight trash let me tell ya

the Mission Briefing IMO fits better in a deck that runs some form of discard, I like splashing these in my B/U control along with Torrential Gearhulk for some graveyard play. You could maybe run Thought Scour and 1-2 Search for Azcanta  ^Flip to get some graveyard pumping going.

I'm also personally pretty partial to cards like Spreading Seas and Vapor Snag or similar cards, pretty cheap and effective.

Lastly, Elspeth, Sun's Champion is a pretty nice win condition but you could also go for some of those big 10 drop blue creatures (kind of like Thing in the Ice  ^Flip you have sideboarded) or something like Shark Typhoon

oh also Day of Judgment pretty solid in white control decks.
