Discussion
Armageddon may cause severe damage; in fact, only Implosion may cause more damage. However, Implosion affects only a single creature stack while Armageddon affects all the creatures (and war machines) on the battlefield causing more collateral damage than Implosion. Because Armageddon enables to damage all creatures, it has become part of one of the most renowed tactics often called Dragogeddon. The tactic requires creatures immune to Armageddon, and preferably as fast as possible. Before Template:AB and Phoenix, Black Dragons were the fasest creature with immunity to Armageddon, and that is where the name of the tactic has probably been derived. When the hero's army only consist immune creatures, the hero may cast Armageddon without damaging his own creatures in the process causing severe collateral damage.
