ART: public domain: http://www.sxc.hu/photo/1107615 IDEA: moomoose NOTES: This is a status utilizing the symbol on the effected card, and *will not* replace any active abilities on the card If a creature targets the effected card, it will be dealt 10 damage If a player targets the effected card, they will be dealt 20 damage If a permanent targets the effected card, they will be destroyed Shields will not be destroyed unless they have an activated ability which requires targeting the effected card Mass CC spells (such as rain of fire or plague) will still trigger the effect if it impacts an effected card. This is a soft-anti CC/PC, so you can target/kill/etc the effected card, but you're going to have to decide if it is worth it. Aegaeon is the Greek god of violent sea storms and ally of the Titans, and not very nice. *I may be using the word effected when I should be using the word affected in this writeup, but I can never keep the two words straight for more than a few hours.

I like it.  But take out the flavor text about it turning to acid so that you have more room to explain the effects.  "Target deals 10 damage to creature, 20 to player, or destroy permanent which targets it." or something like that.

Hm, how did this move up without any posted feedback.

I think that he did leave it at 'acid' simply because there was no space on the card to describe it like that.

Nice effect, but shouldn't it have a drawback, like destroying the permanent targeted by Aegaeon's Retribution after x turns, damaging the creature targeted by Aegaeon's Retribution by x hp per turn or poisoning the player targeted by Aegaeon's Retribution by x poison counters? I mean, if you are covered in acid, you are going to damage whatever touches you, but you are being damaged from the acid too.
Furthermore, This won't really help as an anti-PC against SoFo; quite the opposite. Those 10 points of damage dealt to SoFo are going to allow it destroy +1 permanents before turning into a Black Hole. Maybe making a change here?

^ Well then turn the SoFo into acid!

*will not* replace any active abilities on the card

Turning the SoFo into acid won't affect its ability, it just makes it so you can't target it again without hurting yourself.

You know what, just liquid shadow the freaking SoFo
