Maybe useful against a token deck?

What is played in a swarm deck but is a bigger target than anything else in the swarm? Goblin Piledriver.

Aww, the crazy fun of this got ruined by Oracle interpretation. On a natural reading of the original text, this creates something like a triggered effect--for each attacking creature, Divine Retribution chooses a target and deals 1 damage to it. Basically you could spread the damage around; for example, if 8 creatures attacked, the spell you could deal 3 damage to one attacker, 2 damage to another, and 1 damage to three other attackers.

So bad. I was hoping you could combo it with your own token deck and target their creature.. but.. you can't! You could use it as a token finisher with something like Spitemare or Boros Reckoner (which are in color!)
