Instead of being facedown and being unable to use, Impending allows the card to be played face up, striking fear into your opponents (while also making the card vulnerable to removal)
For example, you can't cast a creature card with mayhem you couldn't normally cast during an opponent's turn, even if you discard that card during an opponent's turn
But a 2/1 for with first strike is pretty good, and the ability to sacrifice it to remove a planeswalker or nerf something that your opponent has built up beyond regular removal is great
Ohime The Manifested Mikanko Ohime the Manifested Mikanko is the Ritual Boss Monster of the archetype and is necessary for your win condition
It's the kind of concept for a game that seems almost too obvious now that it has been done well, for which OPNeon Games deserves a lot of credit
CARDNAME deals damage to target creature equal to the number of creatures you control
