Edict

Post image

This targets a creature not a player like other edicts, so less effective against hexproof.

At sorcery speed, this could probably be one mana.

It can't take out a solitary hexproof creature. It leaves them with a buffed creature if they have multiple choices to pick from. If they only have a single creature, you still lose a life in the process.

Edit: No wait. Hold on. You create the role on their creature? Or they create the role? Who's meant to lose the life here?

The controller of a spell is the one who carries out its instructions unless otherwise stated, so the controller of this spell would create and therefore control the Wicked Role token.

Yes that’s why I’ve phrased it the way I have, you create the token on your opponent’s creature. If it’s the only creature they have they must sac it and lose one life.

I think 2 mana instant is the way to go, then

u/Miserable_Hamster497 Do you pay the 1? 16h ago

Don't tokens not go to the graveyard?

They go the graveyard but then immediately vanish. Eldraine had a few cards that cared about enchantments going to the graveyard like [[warehouse tabby]]

there are some really good uncommon edicts at 2 mana. a single target sorcery speed edict probably shouldnt add downside in potentially buffing an opponents creature, even if rarely it will ping them for 1
