IDEA:
MildlyFrightenedBoy
NOTES:
-The effect only takes place if there are no Prophets already in play.
-The effect takes place immediately upon playing Prophet.

This card would work best in a deck with plenty Deja Vus and Reverse Times, killing the enemy creatures while buffing your Deja Vus immensely.

EDITED: Ally creature effect changed from +2/+2 to +2/+0, enemy creature effect changed from -2/-2 to -1/-1, cost increased from 4/3 to 5/4.

This thing seemed dead inside. It seemed like an automaton, trying to act like as if it was alive. The effect was unsettling.
Orianna made a sound that supposed to a girl's squeal of glee and hugged The Ball. While it might have been touching, it was unfortunately only horrifying.

This seems wayyyyyyyy too powerful. A mass +2|+2 buff for a whole field of creatures?
Not only is it a mass buff... but it's a mass debuff for enemies? does 2 damage to all enemy creatures?
Plus you can rewind it... so it's a reusable buff? over. and over. and over. and over again with an eternity?
Plus 3 :time. Blessing costs 3 :light unupped and only buffs a single creature for +3|+3

way too powerful.
cheers ^.^
317 Relics and counting. (4 are upped) :D

OK, how does +1/+1 and -1/-1 sound?

I think any mass buff is way too powerful if it can be used multiple times.

Understood.  How about +2/+0 for allied creatures and -1/-0 for enemy creatures, then?

So it eclipses ATK with all elements creatures. OP, OP.

Awww, you beat me to the idea. Though I was thinking of more of a sacrifice-reward theme of a demonic lord or something. Let me see what I wrote....
"When it comes into play, your creatures gain -1/-1 and opponent's creatures gain -2/-2."  As a demonic lord or something, it likes sacrifices. So the -1/-1 is like giving your arm as a partial sacrifice. In return, the demonic lord or something curses the opponent's creatures.

Anyway, that was my version of this idea.

I don't see a problem with Prophet giving -defense, as long as the cost is factored in. Thunderstorm costs 2 (1), RoF costs 7 (5). I'd go with -1. So, counting the cost of blessing, 3, + 2 for cost of thunderstorm effect, and + another 1 or 2 for the 1/5 stats, and you have a cost of 5 or 6. If that's not enough to make rewinding + replaying multiple times in a turn, then add more or weaken the effect.
It is the greatest mystery of all...

I personally think that 4 :time fits if its a spell for one turn. If its a creature it will be way too powerful. This is because it can last for several turns.

Honestly, let it provide an attack boost, but no health boost.

Because it foresees the future.........?

Note that prophets do not have to undergo through benedictions to see the future.
