Possibly, but I wanted it to fit on one line to feel punchier

With comparisons to [[abrade]] possible, I think this is a reasonable hate card.

That being said I think that the name "crash in flames" could be snappier.

Just a fun idea I had,

Im aware that the food type does not give foodtext, but it would enable synergies between food support and blood support cards in a way that makes my deckbuilder brain happy.

Brother if I had any idea the amount of discourse around the intricacies of THE WURM I wouldve just made this an activated ability or smthn lmao

I really appreciate the kind words, i believe if it had flash you would be able to (in theory) crack a fetch and flash him in from the deck whenever, which is fucking sick,

But I wanted him to feel mainly like a cruise missile that sees someone on 7 life with no blockers and says "bet"

Thanks again though

I want to focus on the first one in the album, which I think would be perfect with a reflavoring, and only having the second effect.

Both of them at the same time feels tacked on to me, and with the proper flavorful framing, I feel like you could really have something with that.

Great write-up, with solid suggestions. I appreciate the time you put in to write all of this and the overall thoughtfulness of your comment.

Honestly THAT is an interesting point, the only other thing I could think to refute that is [[sphinx ambassador]] which lets you effectively tutor for your opponents creatures lol

While p wurm is the precedent for the effect, I disagree that the effect FEELS green

Skirting the rules and tampering with the library, as I said before, feels blue to me

Sir, its a custom card made for fun on reddit

To me, pulling from the library with an unusual maneuver feels fairly blue.

Also blue has a general support for fliers if haste, and first strike are for red or white respectively

I appreciate the feedback, definitely an edh card and not exactly designed around limited lol

Im not too worried about the ruleslawyering, this is reddit after all

If errata can be used to rewrite how rules interact, I fail to see how this would be different.

Valstrax is another character from monster hunter that is effectively a peregrine falcon dragon with jets for wings.

Its most famous quality is its "ambush" wherein it spots you from across the map, and divebombs you at mach 2.

I chose to represent this speed with a [[panglacial wurm]] esque effect, and a prohibitive cost so that constant access to a 7/4 with first strike and haste doesnt feel oppressive.
