Description
More long names! Enjoy it y'all!So, wanted to make it a sort of suppressing card here, while keeping the same kind of idea that she has ooodles of power, I really didnt want to make her too controlly, overall this seems a lot more like an aggro control kind of card as it is.
Nice that she gives you the choice, a 4 point shift in life? or 1 card in advantage? up to you!
Actually, kinda like Soul ransom, not intentionally though, i guess great minds think alike, and that also applies to not-so great minds such as myself thinking alike with wizards over at WotC!
Well, enough rambling from me, hope you enjoy it!

Seems a tad overpowered. If nothing else I'd expect a creature with that type of static ability to be a lower power and toughness (or at least toughness), so you'd have to put a bit more work into protecting it from removal by damage spells like lightning bolt or shock. Assuming you were playing in a set where those cards or their equivalents exist of course...

When looking at a cards power level, its important to look at what formats it would be played in. Since this card is not from a set, in a real environment it would only be playable in eternal formats, casual, and EDH
In Eternal formats, I can't really see this card being too powerful. On the contrary, it would be much more likely to see no play at all, due it its high cost. Certainly, it could potentially turn out to be the new JtMS (which I doubt very much) but even that would not actually be a bad thing, because even JtMS is overall a relatively fair card in Legacy and Vintage.
In Casual and EDH, this card doesnt seem too powerful either. Granted, some people could really abuse this in some casual decks, but as a random card put into a fun deck, its answerable enough that, although it shows it does a lot and can be quite intimidating, it won't go any further than it was intended to. It certainly isnt any kind of problem for EDH as well, as, although it is still powerful, it is again, quite answerable, and players can quite easily just pay the life for the first few times until it is answered. It certainly isnt as powerful as a lot of other things running around there.
Overall, I cant really say that it is too powerful. The card was pushed to some degree in power, as I wanted it to be something which really brings a certain mood to the table. However, I dont believe that it creates too much impact in any format in which it is legal.

I dont know what sort of EDH group you play in, but most people do have answers. Not to mention the fact that again, there are sooooo many things that are worse to play against than this. Would you like me to list a few?

Trivia!
Just like how Arcanist can be used in place of Arcanomancer, Voidmancy has it's own alternate name. A voidmancer can also be called a Voidlock.

Huh, interesting...
Though, I'll probably keep using this name, after all! Our market research has shown that players like cards with long names, so we decided to make this card have the longest name in MLP MTG history.

But that's not a blue-black pony! That's a green elemental from Unhinged!

The fact still applies, no? Anyway, this is still the longest in MLP MtG history!
