I just don't see it as really standing out. I would rather have so many other wraths over a draw one effect. Its rare that the efficiency between a 4 and 5 mana wrath really stands out in this format. I would rather have versatility over a draw one effect that might get shared out. If there is a reason to run this wrath, it would in my mind be because what you need is to wrath the board by four mana not because it maybe draws one card.toctheyounger wrote: ↑4 years agoThoughts on Shatter the Sky? I like it, personally. Could have a place for me here above one of my other wipes, Rout maybe?
In the scope of when I would play this card in mono white, I would say it would be around the 10th wrath included or later unless again you see yourself needing to wrath the board on turn 4 or sooner. In my mind, Rout is like, instead of losing the game, you don't or possibly staple "take an extra turn" onto the end of a wrath of god effect because I rarely ever cast it on my turn. Sure, it costs 7 to do that but you can still cast it as a 5 mana wrath if you need. Being the first one back on your feet post wrath is a big deal and you can wait to see where threats are going before you commit to your wrath. Sometimes you can get someone to commit to answering some of your board in order to attack you and as they attack into you pop that wrath which has then committed their answers, mana, and board to the wrath. Thats worth a lot more than drawing one card and probably giving others the same.
