The Core Re-edition?

So it begins: taking the classic cards, the ones few decks would be complete without, and remaking them to fill in the blank spaces where something classic is needed.

My take on the "core re-edition' is not to make exact copies of the cards but rather change them up slightly for flavor and fun. So here are the first ones up. Make sure to comment on them cause everything is subject to revision.

Wrath of God // Damnation

Yes, there's a slight trade off. Functionally it's just like mashing together Wrath and Damnation into a single card, but turning into a creature can really mess with things beyond what I can imagine.

Shock

This one I'm still reconsidering. The other idea is to merge Shock with Flare by giving the card Buyback for 1 mana (instead of Flashback). Comment on what you think this one should be.

Incinerate // Lash Out

What I wanted to do with this one was take the classic Incinerate with the new Lash Out and make something in between. The usefulness of this card only fades when your opponent doesn't control any creatures, otherwise, it's a nice edition. Comment on it.

And last one for today

It received several tweaks, like a change in mana cost as well as the addition of an ability.


Alright, so comment on these cards, whatever you think is good or needs to be changed. Also, suggest a few more cards that should be redone for this set.
