Chris' Magic the Gathering Card of the Day!
The Card of the Day is....
Lure
1GG Enchant Creature
All creatures able to block enchanted creature do so.
A brief rundown of the card:
I do not feel like typing every combo there is with Lure. It's
just too cool. I will try to catagorizre the combo styles to give
you some ideas--the rest is up to you. Editor note: I have seen
1000's of games won due to just about every type of card/combo. Lure
has helped win quite a few of those games.
- Bubble Matrix+The Wretched
Bubble Matrix reduces all damage dealt to creatures to 0. Any poor creature that blocks The Wretched comes under your control--good enough with just Lure or Bubble Matrix most of the time yet a really deadly combo all together. Your wretched can attack away without fear of dying thanks to Bubble Matrix--while all of your opponent's available creatures must block The Wretched thanks to Lure. Possibly dispose of the Bubble Matrix once you've acquired a large army, or use such spells as Skull Catapult or Sword of the Ages with all of your new creatures. This combo was sent to us by Jeffry Meaders.
- Army of Allah/Morale/Stampede
Simple enough--build up a reasonable size army, slap Lure on one
of them, attack with all creatures, and make them huge at the last
second.
- Diseased Vermin/The Fallen
Need a way to sneak the "bleeder" cards through? Put Lure on
any other creature and attack with both it and aforementioned.
- Nicol Bolis/Hypnotic Specter
Discard more your thing? Works well with Odyllic Wraith and
Abyssal Specter. Just Lure any other creature and attack with
everything.
- Thicket Basilisk/Infernal Medusa
Mass creature destruction for only 2 cards (all uncommons). A
key too many newbie decks (that don't do to bad).
- The Wretched/Seraph/Tolarian Enchanter
Have you had your eye on your opponents Spore Flower for a few
turns thinking "boy I'd like to have that right now!"? Take it
and use it against them with a Lured kidnapper creature.
If your opponent doesn't play with any creatures you want, take
them anyway and sacrifice them to your Skull Capapult or Minion
of Leshrac.
- Varchild's War Riders/Craw Giant
Rampage+Trample+Lure=Death
- Aisling Leprechaun
See previous card of day's article about this silly card and all
of the wierd things you can do if all of your opponents creatures
are green.
- Orcish Sqatters
Steal thier lands and sacrifice them to Sqandered Resources or
Zuran Orb for added fun.
