This is neater. Is it really that much worse?

Well, it is a lot worse, but is it still playable/interesting/a card we want in the set? Maybe too high a price to pay for nice wording.

This may read a lot better, but it can't really deal with a bomb or finish off your opponent very well - which are really the main things you want your Fireball to do. It is quite a lot worse.

Well the new version is still playable, strictly worse than Fireball I think, but I can envisage times when I would use it a X=1, 2, or 3 and not be too sad about it. It is certainly no Incremental Blight or Cone of Flame

Isn't fireball an oppressively powerful first pick that wins the game on its own though?

Thomas Baker · 2014-06-30 22:26:24

I think we might have this just right at this cost/wording and it fits twin. Definitely still good without being Cone of Flame.
