This card cannot target a player, only creatures and permanents. Purify can eliminate the tainted status on target creature or permanent (this implies that Purify has to target 1 thing only). EDIT: Cost changed from 3 to 5 unnuped version and 1 to 4 upped version. Element changed from darkness to death. Name of upped version changed from Evil Source to Corrupted Source. Purify has an effect on tainted permanents and creatures.

I like that this counters a few overused sources of healings - namely, healing over time (besides purify). Looks balanced to me as of now.

Please comment.

is this a permanent status given to permanent/creature? i do like that but playing an Anti-matter on a -attack creature already fixes that problem. as for doing it to permanents id like that a lot.. play this on Ferox and his stupid Feral bonds... instead of gaining for all his creatures he would die. shards become a danger to play 6 of. maybe raise cost a little.. this could be pretty strong against many a deck.

[AeonSiege]

yes, this is a permanent status.

Then what should these cards cost? 4 / 3 maybe?

So you cant put this on a archangel and let him kill his friends D:?

[AeonSiege]

No. The card was design for player healing not creature healing. But that would be an interesting idea.

I'll have to say I'm very tired of Darkness getting all these manipulation-based cards; it has more than enough tricks up its sleeve already. It could fit Death or Water though, and Death would be most in need of versatility as I see it.

As for the card itself, not only countering a SoG, but also making it do almost unavoidable damage is very, very good in the upped environment. Not to mention on an Eclipsed Vampire. 4/3 cost might work, but I'm inclined to raise it to 5/4 since it's not "Other". Actually not sure if it would be enough.

[bored_ninja777]

id say maybe do 6/4 for cost.

[AeonSiege]

Oh! Now that I think of it maybe this card theme is more than . I will add a poll later about this and cost.

The only way it would work in a player game is if the status was a stealthed one ane the player that has the angel do not know it's been tampered with.


I really like this idea. Tho I think it should be a permenent and as long as it's in play the healing is reversed. Well thats just a thought.

I just added the poll.
