Red Blessing
2R
Sorcery
Deal 2 damage to target creature or player.
When ~this~ is put into your graveyard from your library, you may pay R. If you do, ~this~ deals 4 damage to each creature.

I've always wondered that they never revisited the Gaea's Blessing mechanic. I figured a free board-sweep would be too strong, though (especially in multiples!), so I added a R payment.

I'm not exaxtly sure where to go with the name, since I made this one solely for the mechanic. Maybe it's like a buried chamber of steam or lava or something, and when it's disturbed (by the milling effect), it explodes, burning everything.

How about something like a trap?

"Lava Mine"
"Trip Wire"
"Fire Bomb"

Yes, some sort of Trap name is in order.

Actually, I always liked the name on "guerilla tactics" and a similar name would be very flavorful.
This is also an awesome addition to Oath decks.

Maria Von Trapp perhaps?

I like Trip Wire but that sounds like an artifact. Maybe 'Triggered Combustion' 'or 'Precipitate' or 'Drumfire'?

Well, when you cast this, it deals normal damage, so the name should reflect that. When it gets milled, it somehow reacts very strongly. I'm really not sure what kind of flavor is warranted.

I guess I could go ask around the geology department.

Got it. Twenty-four hour clock.

Phreatic Eruption (Explosion): An explosive volcanic eruption caused when water and heated volcanic rocks interact to produce a violent expulsion of steam and pulverized rocks. Magma is not involved.

People who study geology should be rounded up in a field and nuked.

Like the name, though. Let's do this.
