MTG Salvation

That is correct, thank you for the replies guys.

I have seen this card mentioned numerous times in various threads. I would like to set the record straight if possible. After extensively searching all possible methods, there is no way to weaponize this card. The wording makes it impossible to get something without that initial sacrifice. You can't use any method to duplicate the final ability simply because the eon counter isn't part of activation cost, it is part of the ability, and cannot be duplicated by cards like Rings of Brighthearth because the ability itself doesn't have a valid target during the copy. If you tried putting extra counters on you lose them because, no matter what, the first time the ability resolves the card is back in your hand. You can't remove a counter or return it to your hand more than once; and if those portions of the ability aren't completed then the extra turn does not resolve. The only way to gain any use of the card that tips the scales in your favour would be convoluted additional combo's using mindslaver etc., and they would really only be effective in 1v1 games. Has anyone else discovered anything that could possibly negate the downsides to this card?
