Gotta say, I like the trigger at beginning of combat, as opposed to the beginning of upkeep. You're less likely to forget it in combat, but rather likely to forget it during upkeep. I'm also not sure if you intended it, but drawing a blocking creature would change whether I wanted to give my creatures First Strike instead of the ability to block. That would cause a lot of frustration for the player of this card...

Note that you can fetch Wheel of Fate, at which point even with {2} {r} it's like you're really spellshaping Wheel of Fortune.

This card is pretty nuts with blue. Watching my opponent constantly walk into my toolbox of 1 casting cost counterspells would be pretty snarky. Tapped out? I dig for my Force Spike. Cast a sorcery? I'll get envelop, etc., etc.

It's funny. It's the 'do instants really need to be exiled from the graveyard' conversation that made me start thinking about this. The answer is: only in Type I, where cards like Yawgmoth's Will reign. Which brings up the question: If this card got printed, would people play it in Type I? Its a little slow and a little expensive for that format, but they play controlling expensive stuff often enough. What they definitely play a lot of, also, are 1 casting cost instants...

I suppose the thing to remember here is that open ended cards are never used for what the designer intended them for. While DrugsForRobots intended for this to cast Lightning Bolts, I think many players would be looking for combo pieces similar to Vampiric Tutor to match this up with.

Thanks for pointing that out. Perhaps a little more balanced?

Yipe. Last time this was printed it was a 2/2 - Hornet Harasser. And that was still very playable in limited.

Yeah, I know. But I can't think of a suitable name. Preferably it would be "Something Reinforcements". Any suggestions?

2011-04-06 14:21:39: Alex commented on Timely Reinforcements

Sadly the name is taken by Reinforcements. Otherwise, great card. Power level compares well with Raise the Alarm, Even the Odds, and Battle Screech.
