Remember to hit reload every day or else the new card may not load!

Not all of the old Card of the Day files are working right now. All of the old files should be running within one month. About 70-85% are working now. Sorry for the delays getting new cards done too. Things are getting back to normal rather well.

In this web page, I hope to present to you strategies, combos, and obscure uses for a new Magic: The Gathering card every single day.

The Card of the Day is...

Leviathan

The Dark, 4th Edition, 5th Edition Rare
5UUUU Summon Leviathan

10/10
Trample
"Leviathan comes into play tapped and does not untap during your untap phase.
Leviathan cannot attack this turn unless you sacrifice two islands.
Sacrifice two islands: Untap Leviathan. Use this ability only during your upkeep."


A brief rundown of the card:

That's a mouthfull. Leviathan is not the most dependable of the big blue creatures, but it is 10/10 trample. If you get to use it, it'll win you quite a few games. Problem is, getting to use it. The sacrificing 2 islands to untap and sacrificing 2 islands to attack is very costly. You must be very sure you can deal with some Holy Day/Fog/Festival type cards before incorporating this beast into any deck. Nothing's worse than pitching 4 lands to untap and attack with the Leviathan, only to have an opponent cast Fog. There are some ways to work around Leviathan's enormous shortcomings though, and a few ways to use it without all of that sacrificing of islands. Unless you make a "Leviathan deck", I recommend not using more than 2 in a deck. They do tend to just sit in your hand. Waiting. Chomping at the bit. Here's some of my favorites ways of trying to win with the coolest looking card (I think) in Magic:
