Do you think Cyclonic Rift deserves such a high salt score? Would it be improved if it were more symmetrical, or would it simply fall into Farewell's pitfalls?
i mean cycrift is just hated because it's strong and expensive. which, yklnow, fair reasons to hate it, i wish it didn't exist either--it is a bit like farewell in that it obviates a bunch of more interesting cards with more choices to be made like wash out and river's rebuke. but being asymmetrical is absolutely its one saving grace: at least when a player casts an overloaded cycrift the game is almost always over as opposed to farewell, which might as well read 'Target game of commander lasts one full hour longer"
