Rules explination:You can only pay once.It says so on the card.It just like the old life gain artifacts, iron star & co and soul net.It only triggers once per spell and tells you what to pay.
And no the number of the life lose will never be more than 1.This is a keyword,unlike Battalion whice is an ability word and only has a set condition but variable effects.
The Dragon is jank and the Charm is disappointing. 'Destroy enchantment' should have been something more appropriate and powerful. 'Destroy target noncreature nonland permanent', perhaps.
This was supposed to destroy planeswalkers at instant speed for two mana and do two other things?
But what if your opponent cast a wrath and then got some angels or spirits onto the board? Or what if after a fast start your opponent starts to clog the field with many creatures that can trade with yours?
This can help you get those last few points of damage.
This would be the situational situation I would be talking about.
Another thing I found weird about this. That just sounds really lazy in every way possible.
Again though, that last ability is what will make or break this.
It's too situational and restricting at that. Like this is a control card for one of the most aggresive two color combinations, I could see this in some grixis control deck maybe, but for Rakdos? Why wouldn't you have lots of dudes on board?
GW= Removal
BR? Hmm, let's see, they can have shatter.
Rakdos has been getting the shaft pretty hard so far in comparison.
Nivmagus elemental
Rix Maadi Guildmage
Trostani, Selesnya's Voice
Chaos Imps
Also like the bubble pop one, are you going to color it with a background?
