MTG Salvation

If this translation is correct this is basically an ETB draw 2 for 3 mana. Now, I've been immersed in EDH for the past year, where this thing seems totally busted, so I'm probably undervaluing how bad it is to buff your opponent's creatures in a cube environment, but I thought it could at least be worth discussing. What do you guys think? Will it draw two cards most of the time but do more harm then good? Will it draw one card and buff one of your creatures? As an ACS that could be good enough, especially in green.

This plays really nicely with Skinrender. I wish there were more cubable wither creatures for this to pair with.

If this card just had an ETB that said "draw a card", would you cube it? I would and that 1/4 body is pretty nice. The fact that board parity is not broken when you pump up one of your and one of their creatures makes her ETB good. You can also pump up two creatures at times to draw 2, so that is nice.

Probably not.

If that were the only ability on the card? Pretty unlikely, Wall of Blossoms is a decent card but it's already kinda fringe and +1 CMC for +1 power isn't that appealing a trade-off.


Also is a real "feel-bad" that this card can't buff herself if you have no other creatures out IMO.

This one is interesting. Anything with this many options, and this many potential synergies is going to excite me. It makes things like Incremental Blight, Archfiend of Ifnir and Black Sun's Zenith more enticing.

I imagine the value of supporting your opponents' creatures will vary massively based on the board state.

Insane in team games where you get to draw the cards and a teammate gets the benefit from the counters. But it doesn't look good or reliable in 1v1. I think Jadelight Ranger is probably the better version of this kind of effect in our format.

With the "one or more" wording, you just draw one card even if you put both counters on your opponent's things, right? So it never draws 2? Or at least you need two targets?

You need two targets to draw two cards, yes.

I'd love to see this card perform great in the cube since I think it's so well designed. It looks like Sponsor versus Renegade is debatable. Want do you guys think? The body is less aggressive but it appears to be arguable that the ability are similar. Sponsor offers CA while Renegade offers ramp. Interesting. I guess we'll try it and analyze how it goes.

Never thought I was going to said that but green 3s are start to pile up, this section of stack!
