Blinding Light
A one-sided tap effect built around a color check rather than the usual keyword or stat filter most board-freezes lean on. Where a symmetrical sweep would lock down every creature in play, this one carves out an exemption for white, turning the action into an attack-step asymmetry: your team swings, theirs cannot block. That single word, "nonwhite," is the entire design pivot. It converts a generic tempo tool into a reward for color commitment, asking you to stay mono-white or near it to get full value and punishing a splash by leaving your own off-color creatures tapped alongside the opponent's. The sorcery timing is the balancing friction: this is a main-phase setup for an alpha strike, not an instant-speed ambush sprung on a declared attack, so the tap has to precede the combat it enables rather than answer one. The card reads today as a fossil of an era when "all nonwhite" was a partition meaningful enough to print on a card, back when color-hosed mass effects were a routine lever for the design team. The structural idea is clean even where the rate is narrow: a board action that explicitly excludes one color, cheap to make work if you build into it, dead weight if you do not.
