Chris' Magic: The Gathering Card of the Day!
October 8, 1997
The Card of the Day is....
Sadistic Glee
B Enchant Creature
Whenever any creature is put into any graveyard from play, put a +1/+1 counter on enchanted creature.
A brief rundown of the card:
Most Magic players don't have the luxury of having 4 Cabal Ghouls laying around their house (I don't have any). With Sadistic Glee, you can make a Thallid into an improved Cabal Ghoul. There are so many cool ways to pile counters on a creature with this enchantment, I will only have time to talk about some of the better ones:
- Fallen Angel
Make your Fallen Angel +2/+1 until end of turn, AND +1/+1 permantly every time you sacrifice a creature to it. Your evil angel will balloon up in no time. Decks will be built around this combo for sure.
- Skull Catapult
Sacrificing a creature to deal 2 points of damage to a target is good enough without accidently making the enchanted creature bigger each time. Adding Sadistic Glee to the mix helps greatly.
- Asmira, Holy Avenger/Cabal Ghoul
Why not? Give these creatures +2/+2 for each creature that goes to the graveyard with Sadistic Glee!
- Thallid Devourer
Similar in effect to Fallen Angel, except the Devourer not only gets +1/+2 until end of turn for token for each Saproling he eats, he makes Saprolings himself!
- Breeding Pit
This is many people's favorite way to consistantly crank out cheap token creatures (so you have lots to go to the graveyard)
