Wrath of God

If that's what you like, go ahead.

It'll be an auto-include in any competitive white deck.  The usual way to play it would be to keep it disabled, power up your creatures, clear the board, then cast your creatures.  Or, just keep it powered in your hand if you're ahead the whole game.  You could even do cute stuff like Mirrorpool, Wrath, Deploy the Gatewatch.

The way the AI will play it is, cascade cascade cascade, creature, creature, creature, wrath, pass turn with empty hand.

Dyou think this was one of the ones he spent 5 minutes on, or dyou think he spent the full hour on this?

Who knows.  Perhaps even more?

some cards take over an hour

7 cost board wipe.  Great.  More fuel for the brilliant AI.  At least it gives a reason to spec for embalm.

Edit:  Wait, what does Exile do again?  I suppose it doesn't destroy creatures, so embalm doesn't work.  Wonderful.

That's the point of exile. Would work great against Scrounger and Amalgam, for example.

As far as I understood your quote in the other thread, he just makes the design. He doesn't bother about the power level as this is done before. And how well this is done, we all know more or less.

Or do I misinterpret something there?

would it exile all copies of the card in play or
just the top copy?

That, we do not know. I would assume it would exile the stack, but that's a question the devs would have to answer.

It says battlefield... there's no reference to exiling copies of those cards outside the battlefield,  such as a library or graveyard. Such cards do exist in paper form, but they specifically state all copies of X targeted card in play,  graveyard and in their libraries are exiled. That isn't the case here.

I was interpreting his question as specifically referring to reinforced creatures in play. For example, a Scrounger is cast, and then later another one comes into play. It is 12/10, consisting of two copies of said creature. Vindicate is cast on it. 

Do both the original and copy get exiled? Or does one of them get sent to the graveyard?

I was asking about only creatures on the battlefield.
(I hadn't considered destroyed cards as still in play)
the example is exert influence takes your whole
stack of reinforced creatures but only affects the
the top creature card. the other copies still have
their owner as the original player that summon
them.
