Quote from boombox_smk »Quote from lucasbpc »Quote from CatParty » There's certainly no lifegain as a strategy in Modern, but as a burn player I can tell you that even inciental lifegain can really set us back - Thragtusk in Tron, Obstinate Baloth, Timely Reinforcements in UW Control, thopter foundry lifegain in Whirza... These are the things that tempo out burn and make us lose. Skullcrack is essential in some of those matchups. Or, you know, Batterskull from practically every deck right now... Or this Lifegain as a strategy in Modern.

Quote from ChristianKl »It's worded the way it is to leave room for further ways to play with instant and sorcery subtypes. Maybe they want to print adventure the next time around on a permanent that isn't a creature. Maybe the want to have effects that change the type of an instant or enchantment.

Quote from keoten »Quote from Crispen_Smith »I'm pretty sure you don't even need "Instant or Sorcery" as Adventure is a sub-type of only those two things. The cleanest template is probably "Whenever you cast an Adventure" or for the flavor win, "Whenever you send a creature card on Adventure" That wording reflects Arcane spells from Kamigawa, "Whenever you cast an Arcane spell"...but then you'd need clarification that you don't copy a creature spell that has an Adventure. It probably could have been worded to reflect Edgewall Innkeeper, "Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell that has an Adventure, copy that spell..." but then instants and sorceries don't really "have adventures". Their template is probably the cleanest iteration. "Whenever you cast an Adventure instant or sorcery spell..."

Quote from Iceheart_Omnis »Another critter I'm looking forward to Disfigure with the post-rotation UB Control deck I'm building:D So far the best uncomon Knight legend (for Standard) in my opinion, the "another" clause hurts it, but may be fun to try in a Green-based aggro deck, though I'd probably prefer to play Barkhide Troll for the GG slot.
Quote from Melkor »Quote from Gutterstorm »I get it’s rarity but someone is gonna pull this as their prerelease promo and feel REAL BAD. It could be a lot worse. I would rather pull what amounts to a very good removal spell with potential upside than most of the promos I have pulled. It beats a lot of the rares in the ser

Quote from italofoca »Quote from WarMachinePrime »Quote from lookingupanddown »Quote from WarMachinePrime »Quote from Crispen_Smith » The only way that could possibly work is if it were base 0/0, which is much less flexible. I believe he means it starts as a base 2/2 THEN gets 3 +1/+1 counters. Which still wouldn't be all that powerful, even at common. As the card stands, its chaff for 99% of constructed decks. You're asking for a colorless 5/5 for 3. Good luck getting that at common. You can get a 5/5 creature for one mana at common. Gurmag Angler Sure, let's ignore the fact that you still have to delve for 6 and each delve makes the next one harder 5/5 for CCC at common will not happen anytime soon. With that said, I think a 3/3 is not really a good payoff for going mono-color. But I guess either the 2/3 or 3/2 would already be too much for common. Maybe they should have thrown some trinket text or a weaker keyword like vigilance ? 3/3 Vigilance looks like a fair payoff at common and 3 2/2 vigilance still is pretty bad.

Quote from OathboundOne »Quote from Ryperior74 »Hmmm can you still cast the one more if you copy this spell somehow? Because that’s massive mana if so that can be huge I say dragon storm is the best thing to do with it My gut says yes, copies of this spell work fine. The one spell limitation doesn't take affect until the spell resolves, and by time the first(last?) copy resolves all the other copies are already on the stack, you've already cast them, so they shouldn't count against your 1 more spell.
