Scattering Stroke I can't help but compare this to Mana Drain and boy does it fail. I will admit I do like the clash mechanic as I think it's a lot of funNot every deck can even use the extra mana off of Drain effectively. For example, Mana Drain is pretty awful in a deck like RUG Delver because Counterspell isn't good in such a deck and the extra colorless mana ishttp://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75842/29424765/DC:_Scattering_Stroke?post_id=524986209#524986209Not every deck can even use the extra mana off of Drain effectively.
