So, how can we help fight faeries,..... we need something red, something that does damage to all creatures and all players, ...... and lets make it uncounterable,...seems like a great deal considering it does the same quantity of damage as countersquall does when it resolves, and all for a cozy casting cost of 3 mana, 1 of which is colorless...... And sorry about posting here..... me and the Rumor Mill had...... well a VOLCANIC FALLOUT.

Enjoy,

Zesty

EDIT:

Final Versions:

Countersquall
Instant (U)
Counter target non-creature spell. That spell's controller loses 2 life.

Volcanic Fallout
Instant (U)
Volcanic Fallout can't be countered.
Volcanic Fallout deals 2 damage to all creatures and players.

Esper Owl = Tidehollow Strix?

So: Countersquall

Counter target noncreature spell. It's controller loses life equal to it's casting cost.

Edit: Maybe too good, imagine this countering a Cruel Ultimatum. :d

The counterspell's Nirvana???

Countersquall

Counter target non-creature spell. It's controller loses 2 life.
It says it does the same damage as Volcanic Fallout so it should be 2 damage if Volcanic does 2.

Volcanic Fallout

~ can't be countered. ~ deals 2 damage to all creatures and all players.

That would lead me to believe that the burn spell's name is Volcanic Fallout. Why else would he/she/it put that much emphasis on that phrase?

So yeah, pretty sure that red spell will be a sorcery, not positive if it will be mono red but it seems to fit. Sure beats the pants off of Sulfuric Blast if it's correctly spoiled.

I think we have a winner.

Fodder · 01-05-2009, 07:03 AM

So we have:

Countersquall

Instant (Common)
Counter target Non-Creature Spell.
Countersquall deals 2 damage to that spell's controller.

Volcanic Fallout

Instant (Uncommon)
Volcanic Fallout cannot be countered.
Volcanic Fallout deals 2 damage to each creature and player.

Volcanic fallout is pretty nice but I hope this is not the Fae killer card because I can't see it fitting into many decks that have trouble with Fae.

**Johm000** · 01-05-2009, 07:06 AM

First post updated.

So there's a new anti-Fae card and a new weapon for Fae?

I quite like Countersquall, seems fairly decent.

and

Burn Spell
Burn Spell can't be countered.
Burn Spell deals 2 damage to all creatures and players.

Maybe?

EDIT:

Final Versions:

Countersquall
Instant (C)
Counter target non-creature spell. That spell's controller loses 2 life.

Volcanic Fallout
Sorcery (U)
Volcanic Fallout can't be countered.
Volcanic Fallout deals 2 damage to all creatures and players.

Well there we have it. A counter faeries have been dying for and a card ment to kill faeries into the ground...

Fatguy Poolshark · 01-05-2009, 07:11 AM

My understanding is Fallout is an instant.

Also nice job rumour mill and mods.... Instead of dealing with riddles now we dont really get spoilers... good call there.

How did you get that? if it´s instant, it´s really nice. Too bad for the double RR otherwise it could be very splashable.

Countersquall seems really nice. and it hadnt nothing to do with the speculation around it. lol

Do we have the rarity of the cards? they seem uncommon to me, perhaps even common the counter.

MrChupee · 01-05-2009, 07:19 AM

I think for me, this can safely replace Firespout for my anti-Fae sideboard plans. Vote 1 Volcanic Fallout. But it's a pretty fun and well designed piece of hate.

Fodder · 01-05-2009, 07:21 AM

Hmmm. I'd hope that Fallout is Instant speed, if not then it'd have to be common. I'd also wonder if countersquall deals damage or causes loss of life (not that there's much damage prevention around atm anyway, so it doesn't really matter). I'd guess from the riddle that it deals damage (since it uses the word 'damage').
