@fire12, you should probably be using the colorless frame instead of the artifact one.

Problem with Storm - no Storm hosers like this:

Go ahead, make my play.

It's not very good, but I took a jab at it.

Tonysparks · May 2021

@FORFUN I may not be the best at judging cards, but I think a more awesome approach for the title would be a chaos effect.

I would make the card work like this: "Each player randomly sacrifices a permanent. Whenever a permanent is sacrificed this way, its controller randomly searches their library for a permanent card and puts it in the battlefield. Players who search their library this way shuffle their libraries.

Then add the storm ability.

It feels more chaotic to me, like a series of events unwinding that lead to a certain outcome. You would need to change the rarity to mythic rare if you do this though because that would be a powerful effect. The cost would match though.

It would also justify how one rat (the 1/1 rat token you saced randomly) lead to the summoning of an eldrazi titan ( a 15/15 Ulgamog, or a 20/20 Emarkul) in a butterfly effect.

Or how your opponent's Nicol bolas planeswalker turned into a forest
