Pithing Needle named to Lethal Vapors = Destroy each creature when it enters play

You're locked down too, but you can easily abuse this by having a deck filled with indestructible or regeneratable creatures. Kinda fragile though, any sort of disenchant would disrupt it. But it could certainly catch an opponent off guard.

Or you could find some way to flash their creatures.

Of course, anyone can respond to playing the needle by destroying the vapors.

That's true, so it makes more sense to play Needle first, especially since it costs less too.

Talk about seeing it coming though. Needles comes out and I hear you name that card and I don't need to metagame, I know exactly which card to counter.

Why counter when Mishra's and Mutavault get past the barracade regardless.

Its not a mana ability, its just an ability which costs zero mana or any other cost.

a mana ability is one that puts mana into your mana pool, such as llanowar elves
