Epicenter? Epic-enter? Epic-entrance?

Must be Chuck Norris, no doubt.

I think you're onto something, nikeeia, just compare the art to Dramatic Entrance!
On a more serious note, this thing is a little bit awesome. Just a little.

Holy cow, this may be the most dramatic difference between the threshold and non-threshold actions on a card. Wow.

I cast this without threshold, opponent mills you to threshold in response...!

Standing in the center of the epi is Ajani Vengeant.

Irritate target player. Threshold -- Everybody in the multiplayer game scoops and refuses to let you play in the next round.

Super bad combo:
Hive Mind
Sigarda. Host of Herons
Epicenter
Naturalize
Counterspell

1. Have Hive Mind and Sigarda out
2. Cast Epicenter, have it copied by opponent
3. Naturalize the Hive Mind
4. Counter your own Epicenter, choose not to pay
5. Opponent now controls the effect, so because of Sigarda it can't cause you to sacrifice permanents.

* NB: Requires Threshold for opponent. Mind Sculpt them if necessary.
* NB: Can be done without Naturalize/Counterspell combo if you don't have Threshold and they do.
