And the icing on the cake? "Round each loss up", magnificent. Apparently the guys at Wizards also like this card because they keep bringing it back. Originial printing 1995, then the core set in 1997. But I guess someone realized cards like Pox and Balance didn't belong and it disappeared for a while. However they did find a way to sneak it back in. Sort of. Sadly the fractions were gone but for those of use who remember the good old days this guy did the trick. In 2006 we got Time Spiral's Smallpox.
Oh baby that's a card. Sure you have to lose one life, that blows. But everything else is all upside, discard a card, don't mind if I do
Oh you mean I must sacrifice a creature? Too bad I haven't played one yet. Sacrifice a land, ok fine if I must
It might as well be
And they brought it back for standard in 2011 with new, albeit, much shittier art.
Which brings us to today. They made the card 1,000,000 times worse by upping the cost to "unplayable" and unfortunately it now only targets one player. But hey they can't all be winners.
I really wanted Undercity Plague to be my kill card... but six to case is just insane EVEN IF you guaranteed to cause your opponent to lose two life, two cards, and two permanents with a successful attack.
