What's blue about this?
Both copying spells and exile-matters (casting things from exile, counting things in exile) are blue mechanics. Red technically can copy spells circumstantially, but considering that blue is better at it and that UR is the exile-matters archetype in this set, it makes sense to make it blue. Also, you can't beat the name!
Copying spells and impulse draw are both primary in red. This should be mono red
Flavor text: Sometimes lightning does strike twice.
Note that this, as worded, does not allow you to hit multiple targets.
@dude1818 You’re right that it could be mono red, but it doesn’t need to be. Copying spells is also primary in blue. Colors serve as ways to restrict access to cards, and in this case, I don’t want a mono-red deck to be able to cast the card. I appreciate the feedback but I’m pretty set on this one
@secretinfiltrator nice catch! thank you
