As I sent my dark minions to finish Jane's ex-proteges, I sit back and pour over some other of the documents my faithful Irregular procured before his untimely death. Interestingly, even with all the damning evidence I found previously, these other documents seem to suggest that they were doing research of their own on Jane's ex-lovers and had plans to finish them as well. Was this a ruse to play up their innocence? I Found no evidence of wrongdoing among those foolish playboys when I did my own research on them... or could this mean that we are all being played up by someone else? May someone be after my head right now believing me the murderer?
I decide to soothe these disquieting thoughts reading through these murder plans. Things like this always bring some warmth to my twisted heart.
Prophylaxis: Ohh clever, especially from someone apprenticing under that obnoxious, theatrical broad. A spell that causes a group of people to unwittingly murder their own members while concealing the true "master mind". The spell concept is sound but its arcane wording is somewhat strange, especially when cast at maximum power. It's almost as though this person was trying to fulfil some obscure requirement while creating an useful spell. Promising but no style.
Vexing Arcanix: Effective perhaps, but at the unacceptable cost of disclosing the intent of the caster while allowing the enemy to repopulate, it feels awfully specific and has a strange weaving of blue mana on its cost. Not surprised that Jane didn't teach better her proteges, perhaps too busy with stupid tales of her dashing adventures.
schtingah: Here's another one who seems to be trying to work a mass-kill spell into some artificial limitations and coming with a spell that is as convoluted and hard to grasp as it is potentially useless. Gods, what the hell where you teaching these kids, Jane?
Socrates: This one fared much better. He hired the services of a professional, in spite of knowing the kind of price those individuals exact from their employers in exchange for their services. Any dealer of intrigues knows that a bit of pain is an acceptable price for a clean and efficient result.
I'm not largely impressed but the read was entertaining. If I had to cast a judgement I'd say
I'm calling it right now- worst rare in the set. Even good limited players will find better bombs at common and uncommon no sweat. Worst. Episode. Ever.
I really do predict this to be our worst rare in set award winner. I'd be happier opening a jar of eyeballs, so I think anything worse is highly unlikely. This card wont just have zero constructed potential, but not be significantly better than a mass of ghouls in a draft.
