Nature's Grip
1G
Sorcery
Destroy target nonland, noncreature permanent.

Probably too boring to generate much discussion, but I bet Wizards are going to do it soon Smile



Current Wording:

Nature's Grip

Works for me. Slower than Naturalize though and can only kill Plainswalkers as a bonus.

It also can't kill artifact lands/artifact creatures (or enchantment lands/enchantment creatures) so it seems to be strictly worse.

If this saw print, in 1v1 this versus Naturalise would be a format-specific call. If you care about killing Planeswalkers significantly more than you care about killing artifact creatures, you use this, otherwise you use Naturalise.

This was partially inspired by the difficulty of killing planeswalkers in multiplayer formats - there just aren't many simple ways of just making them go away. It's very frustrating getting wrecked by Ajani or whatever while sitting with a hand full of ways of dealing with normal problem permanents (Naturalise, Nantuko Vigilante, etc.). Artifact creatures are less of a worry because they are still creatures, so have plenty of ways of getting caught in the usual multiplayer crossfire, but there really aren't that many ways of just killing a planeswalker. I'd certainly use this over Naturalise in some of my multiplayer decks Smile

Fair enough I didn't consider multiplayer. I would make it an instant though. Smile

I'd rather name all the types...I.E. Destroy target enchantment, artifact or planeswalker. since this wording allows it to do just a little more.

there are flavor issues with "destroy target planeswalker" though.
