Spoiler for oEtG sized art:

NAME: Mayhem ELEMENT: Entropy COST: 4 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT: All targeted skills and abilities have a +25% chance to hit a random target instead. May affect normally invalid targets.	NAME: Backfire ELEMENT: Entropy COST: 3 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT: Your opponent's targeted skills and abilities have +25% chance to hit a random target instead.

ART: OdinVanguard Slightly modified picture of my 2014 halloween costume IDEA: OdinVanguard NOTES: “Today everything just seems to fall apart” “Even the best laid plans have a chance to go awry… make sure your enemies know this well today.” A twin of the card Ricochet which inspired it. The upgraded version becomes more defensive as it will limit the effect to your opponent only. The unupgraded version is less controlled but can allow abilities to hit targets that would not normally be valid (e.g. an otyugh could have its devour randomly redirected to a larger target) The effect stacks (multiplicatively) i.e. if there are 3 of these then the probability of the effect taking place would be (1 - .75*.75*.75) =.578 (or 57.8%). This only affects skills of permanents and creatures that have to be targeted. It does not apply to your opponent’s spells. SERIES:

too situational, right?

[OdinVanguard]

There are so many decks that revolve around creatures (and permanents) with targeted abilities

I was thinking it would be the perfect pairing with ricochet.

I wouldn't have thought so when I made it, but I guess people feel it is...
