Chris' Magic the Gathering Card of the Day!

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....

Magnetic Mountain

Blue creatures do not untap during their controllers' untap phase. During his or her upkeep, a player may pay an additional 4 to untap a blue creature he or she controls.

A brief rundown of the card:

• Thoughtlace
  With Magnetic Mountain, this is as good as a Paralyze, but it's an interrupt!
• Sea King's Blessing
  Opponent not playing with blue? Make them play with blue! Paint all of their creatures blue to guarantee an uneventful combat phase for you. Keep in mind -it's an instant!
• Power Sink/Mana Drain
  Tap all of your opponents lands and guarantee their blue creatures can't untap!
• Winter Orb
  More card efficient than above counterspells, but more difficult to work around yourself.
• Riptide
  Is your opponent not attacking with his Sea Trolls and you need to tap them to sneak past? Tap those Trolls with Riptide and have your creatures taunt the Trolls as they walk on by.
• Balduvian Shaman and or Slight of Mind
  Did you grab your antiblue deck and your opponent is playing with an orc deck? Not a problem with Shaman+Slight or Slight by itself. Playing with Shaman has added advantage of being able to Slight Heroism. Never know when you'll need to do that.
