Yeah, I thought it might. "Each creature in the square/blast" is everyone.

Ah well. Nice to see that the MMOrpigizing of 4ed didn't get that far.

I wonder if they made cloud of daggers 'Area 1' so that it couldn't be enlarged? EBD, don't you know.

Though you only need that if the DM rules that squares aren't adjacent to themselves.

Actually, Cloud of Daggers works within the rules pretty well if you treat it as a "Wall 1". It's still an area power so it doesn't lose any benefits, but now you can treat it sensibly for burst/blast effects.

So it works within the rules when you insert/change the rules? Its own flavour text mentions tearing up a plurality of enemies in its area, which doesn't happen with a single square. It's an unclear mess, and if they're doing incremental errata that should've been fixed by now.

Hey, I like imbalance. Those are the characters *I* play.
