Chris' Magic the Gathering Card of the Day!
The Card of the Day is....
Reinforcements
1W Instant
Put up to three target creature cards from your graveyard on top
of your library in any order.
A brief rundown of the card:
There's more subtle uses for this card than the obvious "re-using"
of 3 creatures (which is pretty darn cool as it is). Reinforcements
is great late in the game when you've lost some creatures and know
exactly what kind you need again to win, but let's look at some
more devious uses for this instant:
- Triskelion/Varchild's Crusader
Reusable Lightning Bolt. Cheaper than Recall, easier to use than
Elven Cache.
- Tetravus
Not into the direct damage of Triskelions? Like lots of little
flying token creatures (and who doesn't)? Mix sacrificed Tetravi
with Reinforcements for an arial army the Hive would be jealous of.
- Infernal Gatekeeper
Killing creatures more your thing? This combo simulates Time Elemental/Nekrataal
if you don't have many pricey cards.
- Urborg Mindsucker
You can make an opponent toss their hand away in a few turns with
your army of Mindsuckers! This is a good excuse to say "Urborg Mindsucker"
to someone more than usual. It just rolls of the tounge, doesn't it?
Urborg Mindsucker. Urborg Mindsucker. Sounds almost as good as
"Phyrexian Marauder".
- Orcish Settlers
Potentially THE most mana efficient *controlled* land destruction
card in the entire game. Add with other cheap permanent destruction
and Black Vise/Miser's Cage to win by denial.
- Gangrenous Zombies/Harbinger of Night
If mass destruction is your thing, combine these cards with Forsaken
Wastes/Armageddon Clock/Pestilence kind of decks and bring both
of your life totals to nothing in no time (hopefully opponents a little faster).
