Description

A full mock-up of one of the cards I made based on the last four Equestria Girls shorts and Friends Forever #38. (Bit of a mop-up this week.) As ever, visuals provided by Phil Srobeign, who has nothing to be ashamed of (unlike me for forgetting his artist credit for a few days.)
 
This is admittedly a color pie stretch, but I don’t think it’s too too bad. Still likely one of those designs that would benefit from more playtesting.

Hah! Good point! No, I guess I’m just thinking of the way everyone used Reality Acid in my playgroup…
 
OK, this is even worse then. Imagine this alongside a lowly Indigo Faerie, or Neurok Transmuter, or Zephyr Charge.  
The flavour and mechanic would both fit better in black, I think.

I think this would fit more as a blue/black split spell, since sacrifice is more of a black spell effect, while with the hand retrieval it makes it blue. I don’t know. That’s just my opinion on the card, although I will say it is a nicely designed card in itself with some nice flavor to it.

The first time I read it, I copied the “return it to its owner’s hand” part to both effects, and was wondering why anyone would think it wasn’t blue. Now I get it.

Combined with targeted abilities that only cost {T}, like those of Goblin Motivator and Vizier of Tumbling Sands, you basically get a three-mana kill spell every turn that gets around indestructible. That is extremely powerful and not very blue.

With Dwindle, the creature’s controller can keep it alive by not blocking with it, so in practice it’s closer to “enchanted creature can’t block”. By contrast, if a creature died to this card, it would generally be out of its controller’s hands, making it more of a straight-up kill spell.
