OMG a black version of Holy Day/ Fog ACTUALLY does exist...
LOL wonder when they'll do the/a Blue or Red one lmfao!!
Well lol, one card I know no one will play in a deck with Everlasting Torment lol. It's pretty cool I give it a 5/5 rating given it could be very helpful in some situations/ conditions and a freakin sweet and unexspected card for BLACK to have!

It would be nice to see this return to a Standard format, no?
One of the classic combat tricks - Fog your opponent's Alpha Strike then kill them next turn when they're tapped out. This is better than Fog and Holy Day in that Black usually doesn't have access to this effect.

Wow, black Fog. There are a lot of crazy things about that. Still, doesn't look broken but instead pretty interesting.

The reason red doesn't get fog is because it wouldn't really fit, from a flavorful point of view. On top of that, it would be quite powerful in red, as it would make it that much harder to race RDW.
The reason blue didn't get fog is because even though from a flavor point of view it makes perfect sense, it would probably end up rather broken.
Black deserves fog, as does white and green. But it's probably best kept in those colors.
Combined with Sudden Spoiling you can have 8 black "fogs", except it's a little better than that, as playing in a deck with that plan means you can main-deck Sudden Spoiling. They attack into you with fatties or early game rush? Darkness. They attack into you while you have 2/2s, kill them off as they flail uselessly.
Good luck fighting black-turbofog-aggro!

I think that some effects ought to be in all 5 colors, and Fog is one of them. However, the card Fog doesn't perfectly translate to all 5 colors. Legends was the third Magic setting ever, after Alpha and Arabian Nights, right? I think Darkness is 'bad' in that it too much pigeonholes the potential of this 'cycle' as having to be exact copycats of Fog.
And in Time Spiral, they brought it back only as a Timeshifted card, but it doesn't even totally fit to me as a Planar Chaos-like idea.
The other colors of Fog should not be exact mechanical copycats, but I do think they need cards that they would use as 'their Fog'.
Blue should be a 2-mana enchantment with an activated ability, or a 3-mana enchantment that 'just works', that gives something like Fog to one creature. NOT Shroud, Shroud is stupid, but Fog/Holy Day isn't stupid, it's cool but still reasonable. :) Call it something like Mirror Shield or Magic Water Shield or...you get the idea. We all know what a Blue Fog would kind of look like. Not Fog Bank (a good creature, but just not the same), but the actual spell-that-prevents-damage as opposed to a creature with the Magic built in.
Red "Fog" would be awesome. "Fog of Fire": "Combat damage from creatures is redirected to their controllers this turn."
This would be an awesome blowout card or save-you card. It needs more balancing than just that obviously- this is just a very crude concept, but you start by costing it at 3 or even 4 mana ({2}{R}{R}). I'm not saying "Red Fog" would be easy to make, but I think it can, and should. Something to actually be as cool in constructed as Wall of Fire is in....nowhere?
