Fires of Chancery may only be played on a creature you do not control.

Remove target creature from game until end of turn. When that creature is returned to play, it's owner may have the creature deal damage to a creature or player of their choice equal to it's power.



Off-color, but with an interesting and relevant drawback.  I am a fan of this design hole (see the Punisher cycle from Judgement for an example) and as such I believe this could be great. 

Also, creates very fun politics in multiplayer.

How is this even remotely like a Punisher card? Why would the opponent EVER choose not to do some damage?

Also, Deadshot already does what this does, but it's MUCH better since you control both targets.

Maybe make it remove all creatures from the game, return them at end of turn, then they deal their damage, or make it a mass-Arena effect for some  high mana cost.

[Matt]

We've already made cards that do that.

@ Matt

Sort of in the vein of Disciple of the Vault, it makes the opponent pay attention to the gamestate. But, thats also easily changed to remove the may.

@Asi

Interesting idea..I was trying to shoot for a psuedo-combat trick of sorts though.

Again: given that Deadshot exists, what is so different about this card?
