Does the {Wrath of God} effect belong in white with {Wrath of God} or in black with {Damnation}?

Flavour-wise, it works in either.

{Wrath of God} is an icon, {Damnation} is a mimic.

Only because {Wrath of God} has been printed in like 14 sets while {Damnation} has only been printed once.

Also 3 editions (Alpha, Beta and Alternate 4th) of {Wrath of God} cost more than {Damnation} one of them is worth like 12 times what {Damnation} is worth.

Obviously lol but my point is that you can't get a damnation cheap. Wrath you can. Sets be damned. Still the point.

All-Mana Mania

I like damnation more than wrath. I say this because wrath doesn't sound as cool as damnation. Lol

Black is about power not about cleansing. Sure death comes with black power but the cleansing type effect of wrath is very white. Sacrificing an pin point killing is much more black.

That's why I like {Damnation} it is a board wipe that black doesn't have.  And to have it as a near copy of Wrath, is good, because this is not an effect any black deck has.

I'd have to give this to white as opposed to black. Black is more spot removal. Also there's a reason they never reprinted damnation

All-Mana Mania

They never reprinted damnation because that set was to put cards in different colors. Like people in different shoes. Damnation was one of them. The reason I like damnation is because its the only black board wipe an a solid one.

Mizark

I love them both, but flavor wise, i would say White for one reason:

"Damnation" could be a White card and still be flavorful while Wrath of God could not be Black since it only fits with White flavor

How quickly everyone forgets the power of {Mutilate}?
