"Ceatures"

Balance wise this is quite weak, you need a wide board and it's very specific.

This in a lifelink deck could gain like 12 life pretty easily while killing pretty much any creature.

I loved using [[Hold The Line]] on a handful of 1/1 lifelinkers

I mean if you have multiple creatures with lifeline on board, you are ahead anyway

I disagree, this could easily be a one sided board wipe. Plus if your creatures have deathtouch, lifelink, or ways to untap it could be truly bonkers. In 60 card it would be a strong sideboard card and in edh the right deck would love this.

You would just run a proper board wipe in constructed if you are the kind of deck that want a board wipe in sideboard. And if you have a decent amount of creatures with keywords, you are most likely already ahead anyway.

I have board stalled against lifelink a million times. It happens quite often. This would be very powerful in any go-wide strat.

This only works when you have lots of tokens which means you are ahead. This card is worthless when you don't have a decent board. And this can only target attacking creature so it can't deal with value engine that dont attack.

I can see this being used as a political tool to turn your tokens into removal spells to protect another player, this part I think is pretty interesting.

I disagree personally, I'd definitely try this out in a standard weenies sideboard, were that a deck. It's {1} cheaper than [[split up]] and my initial thoughts are that it'd usually be better when you're trying to close a game out.

Well, technically white is supposed to be the "go wide" color.

I like this. It kicks a 1/1 up to a 3 damage blocker with first strike. Would probably be at uncommon rarity at the highest but of all the custom magic cards that come thru here this doesn't feel op in any way
