Flavour text
The concept of thoughtweft fascinates the Nighthearth cult. Imagine, bringing agony to an entire people by torturing just one.
Rulings
Each permanent is counted only once. For example, if the targeted player controls a white creature, a blue enchantment, and a white-blue creature, Chaotic Backlash will deal 6 damage to that player.
