Sets [EOE] Edge of Eternities

Speaking of color pie and removal, what do you think of a one mana blue spell that handles most threats?

Annihiliate 4 will hit once before the unfathomable titan shatters into little pieces. I may play it for that reason.

Seems like quite the common.

That’s a wild mistake!

Or is it not a mistake?

How would green force two enemy creatures to fight when they can’t play with their emotions?
Playing with emotions is very much in red’s part of the flavor pie though. And a creature fighting itself (“Stop! Hitting! Yourself!”) is super red.
 
Self-fighting has apparently been in black, red, and white over the years, though it does seem to have settled in red, since it's the only color that's gotten it in the last 20 years.

Diplomatic Relations seems like a clear misprint... though there's the faint possibility that they might leave it alone because it :edh:.
 
It’s definitely a huge add for Pauper and Peasant if they don’t errata it.

You're right for Pauper and Peasant cubes, but it honestly isn't that good in Pauper constructed - I think Turbo Fog is the only remotely meta deck that might be interested in Green Murder, since everything else I can think of has access to more efficient removal.

I’m curious if it will enable new decks to enter the meta because it’s literally the first option of its kind. There is Utopia Vow, but that’s clunky and quite bad.
 
As someone who does a lot of dumb Pauper brewing (I like the challenge)... I can't think of anything? Believe me, I've been wracking my brain since it was first leaked (because like you said, it's unique for its colors), but everything I've thought of either wants to go into extra colors (Pauper's fixing supports 2-3 colors pretty well these days) or will have big enough creatures that something like Monstrous Emergence or just going over the top is a better bet.

Monstrous Emergence is fine, but not as reliable, and sorcery speed. Something like Elves (in Peasant) could use it if the opponent has must remove threats (Reanimator comes to mind, even if that isn’t exactly a tier one deck).
 


Based on exactly one MODO beta Sealed event, the power level on this one is as high as I expected, sheesh. If someone's looking to really push the "second spell" thing, this is absolutely where you want to go.
