Couldn't one at least demand this effect for your opponent's creatures only from a triple-blue legendary enchantment for seven mana?
A card like this shouldn't have a low mana cost of course, but like this it's just not playable.
At slightly higher mana costs you already have a decent selection of spells that allow you to get rid of all or even your opponent's creatures only, so why bother playing this one?

Quite good imo, using it in a deck with 4 Minamo Scrollkeepers(I don't have a spellbook/other hand size cards D: ), Jushi Apprentice and Neverending Torment. Quite powerful in dekcs which don't rely too much on their creatures.

I can't quite tell why this card is rated so low. There is nothing wrong with hiding behind a -7/-0 Meishin and playing only a single card per turn, slowly accruing a noncreature victory - in fact, it's quite fun.

Costly and dumb.

even if it's on the field your opponent can still hurt you with other things than bluntly attacking you with creatures

Would have been fun if it said "attacking creatures" so you could combo with Ensnaring Bridge. Honestly, this card is just a bad Ensnaring Bridge...especially since its on reverse (bridge was good because its easy to dump your hand...much more so than fill it).

Really? 2.5? This card dominates in my R/U wizard deck. Once I drop this pretty much all of my opponents creatures are powerless while I can still tap my guys to deal damage.

I love this card, in my mill deck it's amazing!
It's quite costy but if i couldn't stay alive till turn 7/9 (average time to play this cutey) i'd be lost anyway...

If you 're playing a deck that can consistently afford {U}{U}{U}, you don't rely on attacking creatures to win and still complain that your hand will be empty by then, you 're doing something wrong.

I think my biggest problem with this card is that it's a fairly weak effect for such a high mana cost.
Don't get me wrong, there'll be times where this is useful,
But most times I feel as if this card is just too late to the table most times,
Not worth it other times.
3/5

Rated 5/5 for flavor alone. I love this card. Also, I once got absolutely -whipped- by someone using it in their Enduring Ideal deck. My creatures were completely powerless for the rest of the game, and since he didn't have to play spells anymore, his hand just kept getting bigger. Nothing I could do about it.

so, which card to take out of Zeraduu for this.

Think about it, a good position for a zeraduu deck would be I draw 3-4 cards a turn, meaning at least a -3 to -4

EDH is slower, so 7 is not that bad, especially after you add all the dual lands

its well worthy if you build around him
i have a deck with 3 of this in a R/W deck with lost auramangers.. this stopped a akroma 2 baneslayers a reya and a exalted angel the time needed to burn my opponent with chandra and jaya...

This looks like it would be really good for a mill or proliferate/infect deck, once the first counter is there you just need to stall and let your viral drakes and contagion engines do the rest

@imsully2: This doesn't put any counters on anything. It's a world enchantment that reduces the creature's power.
