MTG Salvation

It's exciting to see the rare split cards starting to trickle in, but this certainly isn't going to be the best one.

Attire is probably good enough to justify the whole card, but honestly 2 damage looks really dumb on a 6 mana card, even if the main function is to blow up a land.

It's not that it IS bad; It's more that it looks bad. It's an unglamorous MTG card.

Tell that to the Teferi that just -3'd down to 2 loyalty and his friend Azcanta. Still, my issue is that it needs a nonbasic land to target for that. So you can't just use it as reach unless one is on the battlefield. (Not incredibly important I know, because if you are going for the kill you can hit your own, but at least in limited, there will be times I have this in hand and my opponent at 2, but no non-basic's in play)

I do not understand what the name 'Attract' or the art has to do with a land destruction ability? I'm guessing the original card was some sort of creature control that they ended up swapping?

Edit: The card name has been updated, makes more sense.

Why does the card say “perform” instead of “attract” deals the 2 damage?

I'd wager the real card name is "Perforate // Perform"

Why does Attract's rules text say Perform?

My gray matter was flatulent at the time.

Just so you have the information, for future, flavor text is non rules text.

When I read this first I thought the first side was only a pump spell. This card is still a pretty disappointing rare though.

I really hope this doesn't see too much constructed play. My golgari decks have been enjoying the fact that they can pretty much guarantee to never lose Journey to Eternity when it's flipped.

At 6 mana this should have been any land, or it should have been 3-4 damage.

Should have been 2BR as it's written now, but that might have been too fast for a Jund land destruction deck.

Honestly I was hoping the rare rakdos split card was going to have a thought hemorrhage effect on its fat end, but here we are.
