I think this is a cute concept.

It has a weakness, but if you play your most feared opponent, it turns into a strength.

Do you mean that the enemy should only have 3 holy cards or that he should have more than 3? Because what is written now tells me that the enemy got to have excactly 3 holy cards.

3 or more holy cards

This would be a nice addition to a rush deck. Right now we have ways of sacrificing quarry and magic for added power, but no -dungeon gambits.

However I'm not a big fan of cards like this that are so specifically targeted against a particular deck type (which is why I think it was so great that cards like Retribution, Cleansing, Dragon slayer and even Sheath your swords were opened up to have less narrowly targeted effects).

The idea is that it gives high damage but there's a high risk of having a negative effect against you. That's why it's relatively cheap. It's sort of like Dark Ritual

That's why it's specific. I can increase the Charge damage to illustrate this more.

I wouldn't say that it targets a certain deck type. I'd say that it's effective in what it does, but also serves as an occasional punisher against a keyword that otherwise has the advantage against it.

Hm, why should I use it if I can instead use Undead Cavalry that costs 0/18/18, has 29/16 attack and has no shamanism with dungeon and keywords support?
But... With Holy deck and Cleansing it could be fun.

I agree that it's still useful against non-holy decks. However, if we consider a dungeon to be worth about 10 resources, then this card has a "swing" of 20 resources depending on whether or not it's against a holy deck. This is a lot for a card that costs 30 total resources.

It's definitely less egregious than cards like Corrosion cloud, Master hunter, or old Cleansing/Retribution, because it counters the opposing advantage of the holy keyword over undead, making a sort of skewed balance.

Even though the idea was something to counter holy decks, as dindon said, it's actually going to be mostly used in rush decks. At least i know i'm not gonna be using this card in my undead deck
