Reverberate on a stick.

jesus christ that is a good card. he costs more but you don't have to pay for the spell you are copying

That looks like a card you'd see in a custom card creation thread.

Very nice, though. I do wish it would have costed 1R and be a 2/1, just for the sake of mirroring Snapcaster Mage.

That's really cool. It's no Snapcaster Mage (would have liked a more splashable cost and a better power), but it's definitely strong. And it goes infinite with Heat Shimmer type cards.

Only as long as you have two on the stack.

Weird, standard/modern really want this card. Why'd they put it in C14?

This is really cool.Yeah been a 2/1 for 2 would have been awesome been compared to Snapcaster

Trash, dies to X.

Seriously though, I love this card.

Cast Heat Shimmer targeting anything, flash in Dualcaster Mage copying Shimmer targeting Mage copying shimmer...

One more combo for my mono red KIKIJIKI DREAM BREAKER deck

I think I need to spec on Riptide Laboratory, since they don't care about printing cards like this or Prophet of Kruphix

I suddenly have a craving to do Izzet mill...

^Really, any predominantly R decks would love this guy (or gal? can't tell). This card's just value town on its own when you can copy stuff like Treasure Cruise, giant Sphinx's Revelation, or anyone's pick for their favorite Ultimatum card.

Good! Some love for red's ability to play with the stack. Now, we just need something to redirect spells and/or abilities...

Note: the card misses the "Flash" on the spoiler page

Reroute?

Wizards may have found it too powerful if it is at 2 mana cost since your copying an instant and sorcery spell and you have a creature ready for action..

This + Rite of Replication kicked. 'Nuf Said

RWU Blink has always had a hard time justifying the Red in EDH. This is exactly what the archetype needed.

I think there's not actually much to say except: This is a cool card! It's not often Red gets creatures with Flash, too.

actually, dualcaster plus any copy creature spell is equal to gazillion of dualcaster
at least you need either haste making effect or burn effect as the 3rd card to win the game mostly unlike kiki-jiki.

Has anybody else spotted the crazy synergy between this card and Feldon of the Third Path?
Repeatable ETB that effects the stack? That is a sexy combo.

I love that it is any instant or sorcery. Lately we been getting too much of "only you control" nonsense.

This is really good, possibly Legacy playable? Slightly worse than Snapcaster with your own spells, since it costs 1 more, but copying your opponents spells seems very, very strong. Also muuuch better with Treasure Cruise popping up everywhere.

Snapcaster Mage: Apology Edition

But no seriously this is a very cool card. Seems Wizards is really determined to give Red some real tools in EDH.
