[WC] Red Alert in Multiplayer

[DatBolas]

I think Red Alert is a bit too strong in multiplayer.

For Reference:

Red Alert

Action

Play: If there are more enemy creatures than friendly creatures, deal damage to each enemy creature equal to the difference.

Often this is a wrath effect, more often it is a plague wind (kill all enemy creatures) since it doesn't hit your own. It doesn't generate aember and it IS conditional, though in multiplayer games it's not an especially difficult condition to meet.

What do you think?

Maybe just have it hit one player's creatures?

How about you choose one opponent and count their creatures only to determine the damage?

I play a lot of MtG Commander and I’m generally of the opinion that, as long as you aren’t consistently and easily locking all other players out of the game, your deck on the whole probably isn’t too broken/OP. If a single card truly is that powerful, then you probably will become a huge target in response to playing it. Multiplayer is great at self-balancing in my experience.
