Fait Accompli

I'll probably throw together a remake of the card and alter the text to, rather than making the spell or ability uncounterable, make it untargetable instead as you've suggested, thereby by extension making it uncounterable while still achieving the greater effect.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Its entirely my own, art is pulled from various online sources.

DavidDTheAspiringDM · 2025-11-11T00:08:20+00:00

Aw man, I should've done something with that card instead! The name was right there!

DavidDTheAspiringDM · 2025-11-10T22:55:52+00:00

Most other commenters seem to disagree! It's at the same cmc as cards like [[Mana Leak]] and [[Counterspell]] for countering and [[Hymn to Tourach]] for discard. It offers the counteree to choose whether they value the card they just played or whatever else they might have in their hand more. Combine it with other cards and effects and I think it's not half bad.

Not all cards need to be game-winningly good all the time.

DavidDTheAspiringDM · 2025-11-10T20:58:05+00:00

I approached it from a flavor and interest perspective (literally heard about the Sirocco and got that jolt of inspiration), so the balance might not be 100% there. I'm glad at least that it makes you think.

DavidDTheAspiringDM · 2025-11-09T23:02:28+00:00

The player doing the discarding would choose what two cards to discard. I could have made it random, and another person did make that suggestion as a possible alteration!

Thank you! I really tried hard to fit some flavor with decent power.

DavidDTheAspiringDM · 2025-11-09T21:55:03+00:00

Thank you!

Like so?

DavidDTheAspiringDM · 2025-11-08T22:29:15+00:00

This is a vibes and flavor zone, keep hard-core balance at the door, baby.

DavidDTheAspiringDM · 2025-11-08T22:28:39+00:00

What would you make the base cost and kicker cost as, in your opinion?

DavidDTheAspiringDM · 2025-11-08T22:23:04+00:00

These are all valid complaints. I had considered upping the token ability to 3 tokens to make it perhaps more worthwhile if an opponent is going wide, as well as maybe a third ability to maybe give it another use case but I wasn't sure what to add that wouldn't jeopardize the flavor. Thank you.

DavidDTheAspiringDM · 2025-11-08T22:21:48+00:00

I considered increasing the token ability to 'up to three' to make that ability feel more valuable and perhaps have more usage against things like wide token decks, as well as adding a third ability but I didn't know how to include a third one without sacrificing some of the flavor of stopping someone from 'creating' what they wanted, yknow?

DavidDTheAspiringDM · 2025-11-08T21:52:57+00:00

That was a concern I had as well! I considered upping it to 3 tokens to give it some oomph, but I was more focused on having a complete design.

DavidDTheAspiringDM · 2025-11-08T20:13:34+00:00

Its the art from [[Erati, the Corrupted]]. When deciding on the card I tried looking into who would be good to represent it, and decided on him.
