The cost-reducer that scales with targets reads as fair until you count the spells that carry more than one. Most cost reduction keys off a static trait: a creature type, a color, a card category. This one keys off the number of targets, so a spell that hits three things is discounted three mana, and every multi-target burn spell, split-damage removal, or fork effect that was already flexible becomes an outright cheat. The symmetry is the wrinkle: opponents' targeted spells cost more per target, which turns their surgical removal into a tax and blunts the very interaction they would reach for to kill a four-mana flier before it takes over. That defensive half is easy to underrate, because the reduction half is louder. The body pulls its weight independently: flying and trample on a 4/4 is a clock that neither ground blockers nor a single chump can stall for long, which matters for a build-around that needs to survive a turn cycle before it starts unloading discounted spells. What makes the design cohere is the way it rewrites what a "good" targeted spell is on both sides of the table: yours want as many targets as they can legally choose, theirs want none. Rather than pumping a single stat, this reshapes the math of an entire subcategory of the stack.
