Gruesome Slaughter

A payoff card built for a strategy that almost never exists on its own: a board full of colorless creatures. The effect is a mass machine-gun, turning each Eldrazi, each Scion token, each colorless artifact creature into a tapped source of removal that fires for its own power. The trouble is the cost it pays to be a sorcery rather than something innate: an enchant-the-team trick that wants a wide colorless army already in play to convert into damage, and asks you to commit heavily before it does any work. That makes it a finisher you cast when you are already winning, not a way to claw back. The damage scales with power, so it rewards stacking large colorless bodies rather than going wide with one-power Scions, which pulls the card in two directions at once: the tokens that fill out a colorless board are exactly the creatures that deal the least when you finally point them at something. It reads as a designer testing how much removal you can hand to a tribe defined by colorlessness without printing it on the creatures themselves, and the answer here is a lot, at a price steep enough that the engine rarely assembles in time to matter.
