People you cannot have everything to be super good that's not how it works. This Magic Flag would run in tandem with the old one, the point is to give flag variety and selection.

Plagues would use the old flag

How do you tempest with ONE attack? Also give danger more counter heal prob solved... cuz you know... danger can do dat to 10 life 1st turn no problem - Tyrants with Cerby Impact for 10 damage, Gollums with Dolly Drago + Impact

Hero SHOULD be able to fend off impacts... that's what usually happens to heroes when they are blasted with a super unstopable move... they're saved deus ex machina style so they don't die. As of right now, most hero shields suck so I'm acounting for them not using them trying to survive the blunt of atks that come prior to an impact.

Again Neodergs would use the OLD flag. These are not new and improved, they are A-L-T-E-R--N-A-T-I-V-E.

Also ancient world with static all effect protection sounds waaaaay too scary. Chaos size bigs can do it cuz it ain't soulguard, you break the minions, you break Geargod... Or bounce it after... Now a a big beast with soulguard imune to all effects?! Dankness and Magic would be screwed. Imagine OG Tallica Imune to all effects... even with 6+ atks a turn dats scary (and screw the effect control decks). Jaeger already has guys that protect him in the soul and ways to make him imune to negation with good aggro to boot. Ancient decks need supp yes they do but that flag would just be bork. (Remember you can't null flags cough *PLAGUES* cough so there'd be no way to work around the issue for the oponent)

Better flags don't make sense since all flags have a modicum of ballance (the flags are, the support isn't). Yes even ThEmps 11 life 7 cards for 1 gauge and no generics is a ballance. Chaos', Zwei etc 2 starting cards and no generics for a cheat is also ballance. Regular flags are all the same... so my take is lets tweak each flag to be special but not outright better than base for everyone.
