    Now THIS is what hte burn player in me wanted XD


    Not to single you out but this card feels really overrated because it's so unique and quirky. There's a reason this thing is by base a 3/2 Menace Deathtouch which is actually good stats - the effect is actually pretty mediocre. Burn wants to aim spells at face and run more efficient spells like Rift Bolt and Lightning Bolt and Searing Blaze, not pay three mana for a fragile body that powers up the bad burn spells you are incentivized to run with it (like Spark Jolt, Gut Shot, and Forked Bolt).

    Even in Standard, it's an open question of why you'd do something "cute" like running this + Cosmotronic Wave and Dual Shot when your deck can just run say Lava Coil and Shivan Fire instead. I've also seen a few folks mention sweeper spells but the vast majority of those also kill this (Fiery Cannonade, Deafening Clarion, Earthquake) and again I don't know if this is powerful enough to add a fragile 3-mana tax onto Electrickery and Cosmotronic Wave instead of just running those effects.


    The thing is, you do eventually need to aim things at creatures in burn, and spending more than 1 spell to kill something is horrid. And any format with burn will naturally adjust to pass the "lightning bolt test" as it were. This helps answer the problem of what the hell to do with a big ass Zegana facing you down.

    Its *****.

    No really.

    Its *****.

    This is only a card that could be played to any real degree in edh.

    Where it will backfire and smash you in the face. Yes it stops combomcdurdlepants if it resolves, but so do the billions of other ways to do this IN GREEN AT INSTANT SPEED that dont make centaurs to wreck your day. This backfires on all fronts. The entire table hates you, and now they have the tools to smash you or combo off.

    This is a bad card. Dont play it. Any other option is better.


    Or.... you use it to create a wall of tokens of your own... In Commander G can get ALOT of artifacts with Tireless tracker...

    Dat Card Type Doh...


    Simic gonna Simic. This is a fun card. I'm not sure how practical it is outside of casual formats (excluding Commander for obvious reasons) but it could be fun in certain casual Elf decks.


    At this point, I believe WotC just has a dartboard full of "U and G creature types" and just randomly throw darts and figure out a creature from there.

    *AT WOTC R&D*
    Alright MaRo, we have a Rare simic card we need to decided.
    Maro: *Grabs darts*
    Maro: Lets seee
    *throws Darts*
    So i got... Elf... Crab... and Warrior. What can we do with that? XD

    Seems like a really fun way to screw with control in Zedruu decks...
