Crooked Prosecution Instant As an additional cost to cast Crooked Prosecution, you may Collect evidence 3 X times. (To do this, Exile cards with total mana value 3 or greater from your graveyard X times.) Detain target creature or Planeswalker. If evidence was collected, instead exile it unless its controller discards a card and/or sacrifices a clue a total of X times. From the right position, truth can be fabricated more easily than it can be found. |

I wish it did something with an equipment already in play rather than tutoring, 'cause when you use a knife to stab someone, you don't usually wind up with more knives. there's also a bit of the snake-in-boots problem where just over 1% of equipments are knives, so this is much more likely to get a hammer or something, but that's par for the course on these. the mechanics also don't feel that connected: they both work and provide value, but it's not clear why they're on the same card.Instant Target creature gets -3/-3 until end of turn.

(mostly collect evidence, the other two make more sense.) there's also a mechanical issue: none of the collect evidence cards they've printed let you do it a variable number of times, and I think that's for a good reason: if my graveyard is two 6-drops, how many times can I collect evidence 3? anyway I think there's a good version of this but it got a little lost in the weeds.Instant As an additional cost to cast Crooked Prosecution, you may Collect evidence 3 X times.

I wish the rest of it delivered on it. as a sweeper, rushing it out early isn't all that useful since they're unlikely to have as many targets, and as a sweeper that mostly doesn't kill things right away anyway it can't even do the doomskar thing where being playable early can save you if they do have a super blitzy start. it also does nothing against tokens, since vanishing has no effect if you never get a time counter in the first place.

I don't know how I feel about a room card where only one side is viable to play first, feels like it kinda loses the fun of a split card. this isn't quite that, since you can use Dungeon to steal a thing that's phased out for a different reason, but given how strong a punishment the lock condition is if phasing is common in the environment I assume that's not the intention, and also as worded Floor only worked on etb, not unlocking, which would obviously be fixed and I'm not worried about but figured I'd mention.

I was first going to edit in a "pretend there's a rules change that makes this not be infinite", but I managed to find a satisfying wording. Just dealing damage based on toughness wasn't punch enough rules text, plus it works more naturally with healing salve or furnace of rath effects. |
