The phrase "devouring darkness" sounds awesome, so I naturally had to make a card with that name, and here it is:

Devouring Darkness Show

I thought that using Phyrexian mana to pay a multikicker cost would be an awesome idea, so I thought that a card of this nature would truly portray the idea of darkness devouring both permanents and players. I made the value of X one greater than the number of times that the spell is kicked, so that it shall not be completely useless if a player casts it without paying its mana cost.

What does everyone else think of this card? Do you like it?

I like it, a potentially "free" board wipe with a heavy life loss. I think the "players who lose life this way cannot gain life this turn" clause makes the card a little wordy, and since the card is a sorcery it doesn't stop much except the caster Children of Korlising their way into a free Toxic Deluge, which I don't see as a downside. Very flavorful!

I like the numbers here. You'd have to pay 10 life for a "free" improved Volcanic Fallout. You really have to play it wisely to have this card not be terrible, but if you do, it's spectacular. Great design!
