It's not GW or legendary, but you got one

Why can't we get a good, 4cc black sweeper? Why the <bleep> do they have to cost 6?

Edit: RW Aggro is going to be brutal

White doesn't even get good 4 mana sweepers anymore. And black only ever got two. Every other black sweeper all the way back to Legends has cost at least 6 or has some stupid drawback.

Don't quote me on that. Also I don't think its another or in addition to so strive can target the same target multiple times.

Overload could have been kicker.
Morbid could have been kicker with "0ay this cost only if a creature has been killed"

Ajani's Presence W

Instant

Stive -- Ajani's Presence costs 2W more to cast for each creature beyond the first.

Any number of target creatures each get +1/+1 and gain indestructible until end of turn.

Lots of things could have been kicker or multikicker.

Overload wasn't exactly kicker. It was more like you can do it as a single target or you can target all the things. I'd say that's different enough. Morbid not exactly same either...

I'll just defer my argument to the head designer:

Mark Rosewater http://www.wizards.com/magic/magazine/article.aspx?x=mtgcom/daily/mr283
It's too big of a mechanic. It covers too much space. It does too much. In short, it's too all-encompassing. What started as a "pay more, get more" mechanic has turned into a "pay extra mana to do anything and everything" mechanic. Almost any mechanic that requires paying extra mana (or extra anything) can get shoehorned into the kicker box.

...

Whenever we go down the path of a mechanic with an extra cost (and trust me this is a huge vein of design space—R&D jokes that 90% of cards are kicker or split cards) I know I have to listen to a new round of choruses of "that's just kicker." And on some technical level, sure. We often could word things as if they were kicker. But that doesn't accomplish the task set before us. The goal of design is not to make everything look exactly like what has come before. If a mechanic explores new mental space, we want to give it its own keyword.

And there's a reason it ended up NOT being kicker. See above.

Reveal the first card you draw on each of your turns.
Whenever you reveal a land card this way draw a
card. Whenever you reveal a nonland card this way,
Keranos deals 3 damage to target creature or player.
6/5

I really want to jam this in Grixis Control. Draw or burn. Love it.

Hmmmmm....interesting how it's worded. So if you cycle on your opponents turn you can either draw two or draw and get a lightning strike for free?
