I was trying to decide what wizards would have to print in eventide to make faeries not the best deck anymore. It has to be something they might actually print,and in eventide. No BB instant destroy all faeries. I am thinking:
Gloomwidow's Web G
Enchantment
When ever a creature with flying comes into play ~ deals 1 damage to it.
or maybe
Kithkin Ballista Team WW
Creature - Kithkin Archer T Deal 1 Damage to target creature with flying. When that creature is put into the graveyard ~ gains protection from a color of your choice until the end of the turn.
1/3
What do you guys think would hose the Fae sufficiently?
Epic Fail W
Instant
Destroy target Faerie. It's owner loses the game.
Still unplayable, it's white.
I doubt they'll try printing any crazy answers, that's what they tried to do with Raking Canopy, and it failed miserably. Maybe they'll just increase the quality of other decks, or succeed where SHM failed, and create new archetypes.

I doubt either of yours would do anything, and I am not at all convinced mine would either... I don't think any of them play into the weaknesses of Faries... Abeyance would probably do it though

(U/B) is :symbu: or :symub: and the same is true for the other 9 hybrid symbols with their two colors in for the last 2 leters of the code. ((2/B) and co are :sym2b:)
Alternatively {UB} or {2B} in [mana] tags are (U/B) or (2/B) T is :symtap: and T will give T in [mana] tags
Gloomwidow ***** can not be countered.
***** target player playing Faerie deck. And you win I guess.
"OH NOES!!!!!!!"
---------Last word's of Faerie player.
No but really it have to be something like a horde of uncounterable creatures.
But MGA does fine against ot, they can only have so many threats and burn deals with it nicely
Deal 2 damage to all creatures with flying if red was paid to play Lightning Storm. Destroy target enchantment if white was paid to play Lightning Storm. (Do both if RW was spent.)
"The purifying essence of lightning illuminated the mysterious dark. The purifying energy of the lightning illuminated the sky with burning husks."
I know it could be countered, but it would be pretty sick.
Kithkin Ballista Team WW
Creature - Kithkin Archer
Deal 1 Damage to target creature with flying. WQDeal 1 Damage to target creature with flying.

I think that would wreck faeries. Awww who am I kidding, they would just start running pongify.
Engineered plague is tribal card, there is no way it would see print in Eventide. It should have been in morningtide.
Putting the plague in morningtide would be like putting shatterstorm in darksteel. Printing cards that hose their entire block that massively isn't something they like to do.

A card game about Presidents. Stabbing each other. With knives.
so....if faeries gets hosed out of its "dominant" spot, i guess we will start complaining about the new "dominant" deck, and what wizards should do about that deck. and the cycle continues i guess......
Well, Pyroclasm would eaisly handle fae if it resolves, same with Sulfurous Blast. There are already ways to deal with fae, just primarily in red which happens to be a weak color at the moment.
Honestly, I just wan't to see blue out of the dominant deck spot, blue's been too broken for too long. It gets really tedious for blue to always look down on almost all other colors most of the time, they give green vexing shusher and yet blue still slaps them in the face.
Deal 2 damage to all creatures with flying if red was paid to play Lightning Storm. Destroy target enchantment if white was paid to play Lightning Storm. (Do both if RW was spent.)
"The purifying essence of lightning illuminated the mysterious dark. The purifying energy of the lightning illuminated the sky with burning husks."
I know it could be countered, but it would be pretty sick.
Honestly?
The only way to dethrone Faeries is to give us the tools for an even better deck.
That's why this format is so annoying. Once you create a monster, you need to make more to stop it.

If you're about to pounce on someone who said card A was "strictly better" than card B, and treat them to some convoluted counter-example, please don't.
"Strictly better" does not mean "better in every possible in-game situation."
It means "better in every possible deck, vs. every plausible meta-game."
So if you can't actually think of a deck-building situation where you'd prefer card B to card A, then please spare us the Mindslaver.

Jeebus! Goblin Sharpshooter in Standard right now would be ridiculous!
I can hear the *pings* already!
You get the idea.

Put a -1/-1 counter on each creature without flying for each creature destroyed this way.

"Strictly better" does not mean "better in every possible in-game situation."
It means "better in every possible deck, vs. every plausible meta-game."

Thank you!
Nice card, except there's nothing red about it.
Green has a lot of anti-flier right now. A good Firespout is pretty much a Wrath of God as far as faeries are concerned.
What is needed is a mid-size to big flier with shroud. That would hurt faeries the worst. Simic Skyswallower ftw!
