Corpse Explosion
Casting Cost: {1}{B}{R}
Card Type: Sorcery
Card Text:

• As an additional cost to cast this spell, exile a creature card from your graveyard.
• Corpse Explosion deals damage equal to the exiled card's power to each creature and each planeswalker.
  Flavour Text:
• "Well, that's one way to scatter her ashes."

  Artist: Greg Staples

Strengths:

• Board Impact: Capable of dealing damage to all creatures and planeswalkers, making it a potential board wipe.
• Synergy: Works well in decks that fill the graveyard with high-power creatures.
• Flexibility: Can target both creatures and planeswalkers, increasing its utility.

Weaknesses:

• Additional Cost: Requires a creature card in the graveyard, making it situational.
• Exile: The card exiles a creature from your graveyard, which can be a downside in decks that rely on graveyard recursion.

Potential Deck Placement:

• Likely a good fit for Rakdos (Black-Red) decks that can easily fill the graveyard with creatures, such as Reanimator or Sacrifice decks.
• Could be an interesting addition to a Jund (Black-Red-Green) deck focused on big creatures and self-mill.

Flavor and Art:

• The flavor text adds a morbid twist, encapsulating the theme of the card effectively.
• The art is likely to be as explosive as the card's effect, fitting the dramatic impact it can have on a game.

Overall Impression:

• Corpse Explosion offers an interesting and potentially powerful effect at the cost of exiling a creature from your graveyard. Its utility as a board wipe can be game-changing, but it requires some setup and synergizes best with decks that can afford the additional cost.
