I think that's best case scenario. Play tested it a few times and the deck was brutally fast.
... But uh, yeah, one Choking Fumes and you're board's wiped :P

It's funny how the art depicts exactly for what it will be used: Killing 1/1 Goblin tokens from Cards like Kuldotha Rebirth.
The fact that the creatures get real -1/-1 counter instead of "until end of turn -1/-1" also means it's a heavy anti-boros card. Many of Boros creatures can get big with landfall but are just 1/1 at the end of day which means their death with a single -1/-1 counter.

How is this white? I guess it's limited to just attacking creatures, but I don't see how this is in any other way fitting into White's slice of the pie.
Also, holy sh*t, MasterOfEtherium, you managed to turn off your keyboard's "Automatically Capitalize All Words" button. Bravo!

@Hairless Thoctar Agreed. Between infect and all these recent "weenie wipes" I could almost get the impression Wizards is not big on aggro right now. Maybe it was in response to Zendikar?
Great combat trick. Suddenly my creatures bigger than your one dude and all the rest are dead!

this and dispense justice makes white the most flexible color in the scars block, actually white really does have everything, next we need a white version of lightning bolt!!
Woooooooooooooooow! I thought this card sucked until I realized it was -1-1 counters! Copy this, and you're rocking!

@ MasterofEtherium: You have managed to not capitalize every word!!!!! But now you just look mentally challenged with your Capitalize Random words but Not Others.

@Richard, lightning helix out of Ajani vengeant do for you?
As opposed to Marrow Shards, the -1/-1 counters stick around in case it was not enough to kill all attacking creatures. Even if it costs more, I find this card more useful than Marrow Shards because you will always weaken/kill everything that attacks.
@Richard_Hawk and everyone who replied to him: Sunlance is the closest thing white has to lightning bolt.

When you think about it, this card fits white's flavor quite well. Aside from the -1/-1 counters (which is a Phyrexian trait instead of a color-specific one), it does what white's always been able to do: punish attacking creatures.

Killing 1/1s is all well and good (though Marrow Shards does it better), but the real beauty of this is softening up 4/*s and */4s for your Priests of Norn and Porcelain Legionnaires. Retribution will be swift.

It slows down Phyrexian Crusader.
It kills Inkmoth Nexus (a big deal since Day of Judgment usually does not).
It hurts those packs of Squadron Hawk, those Memnite, those Signal Pest and those goblins. All nice cards that are used in agressive decks at the moment.
