I think you should be able to target your own field with this spell, anyone else agree with me?

1. Welcome again!
2. Ask Scaredgirl to lonk your old posts to this account.
3. Seeing what Aflatoxin does, it should be possible. Or a new card should be added that does this for a slightly higher cost to give tactical flexiblity for a price.

One serious, serious balance issue with an area attack on your own cards with Aflatoxin... Vultures.

Take this scenario...
You have a field full of malignant cells, plus an immortalized vulture, with boneyard and empathic bond in play too. Boost the defenses of one cell so it can survive, then blast your field with two thunderstorms in the same turn. As much as 42 attack added to the vulture immediately, plus you have new cells popping up for a second round of that in a few turns, assuming your enemy didn't die.

84/85 creature, anyone?

So, it takes like... 3 elements, 7 cards to set up, and I didn't count the Bond.

I think the more serious serious Balance issue will be keeping Aflatoxin from dominating the lategame if it can't be solved quickly enough. Being able to blast your own side would do no harm IMO.

I don't like the request just because of balance issues and actually it would generally benefit me more than my opponents and I still don't like it.

I use ffq/boneyard/bonewall in my deck and being able to firestorm all my fireflies/skellies when I have a bonewall up would just be insanely powerful. Especially now with aflatoxin out and the speed at which malignant cells multiply, being able to firestorm your own cells would be such an easy way to replace them with stronger skeletons and/or recharge your bonewall.
