Skeltons from Dark Peak
Creature -- Skelton
B
5/1

Last Strike (Whenever ~this~ becomes blocked, the blocking creature gains First Strike until end of turn).

Skeltons from Last Peak can't block.



I realy like the concept of Last Strike, it may be a great way for aggro to beat control !

Do you think this card is too broken ?

This is a 5-power creature for 1 mana. Sure, it dies if the block it, but you can just kill their blockers a few times. Definitely way too strong.

i would think this is a little to strong.  You probably don't need to keyword this either...the reminder text is probably fine for regular text.  Maybe a 3/1 is doable.

I think that last strike needs to be formatted more like first strike -- so that it actually results in a separate damage phase. I know that might seem a little bit cumbersome, but I see a handful of problems with the way you have it now.

1. You have it formatted so that last strike only occurs when the creature is attacking and blocked. It should happen all the time, whether it is blocking or attacking (blocked or not.) You've somewhat dodged this problem by making it so that your creature can't block. If last strike is usable as a mechanic, some of the last strike creatures will be able to block.

2. Although it is mechanically "clear" what happens when a creature with last strike (as you have worded it) blocks another creature with last strike, it doesn't make intuitive sense. By your wording, the defending creature lives, while the attacking creature does not. Again, a more first-strike-like mechanism would solve this problem.
