Insanely strong card, price of foil versions proves that (40 EUR foil common from 2 years old set with unlimited supply for 2 years says something). This card is also great in casual formats like pauper, EDH, tiny leaders. If you play blue, you start construction with max Brainstorms, the rest is optional and situational.

Butanero(2015-05-27 10:41)

Perhaps the best unrestricted mtg card. It dis not use to be so before fetchlands, as it requiredrequired shuffling: Portent, Ponder... With fetchlands thinning out your deck and Brainstorm getting you answers for U, the synergy is obvious

Ahtii(2015-05-14 14:08)

This card is strong in legacy, you should propably play 4. Also works decent with fetchlands :)

blahblah(2015-05-08 16:18)

This is in my opinion the most powerful card printed. It's popularity is not just a trend. People play it because it's that useful.

Jimmy87(2015-05-08 15:23)

Semplicemente perfetta, peccato non si possa usare in moder XD

hugo87(2015-05-08 12:04)

The most expensive ever common foil card in magic history by far

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Pauper Staple Comparisons

ConstructedBy WileCoyote (2018-11-14)

Event CoverageBy CabalTherapy (2018-08-02)

The Next Step for Storm

ConstructedBy CabalTherapy (2018-08-01)

No more Shaman, no more Probe. Storm lives on but will have to adapt and change much like everything else. Seizing opponents' thoughts and wrapping them in tendrils is still going to be one of the best ways of ending games of Legacy, even if its players are forced to adapt.

Desperately Seeking Simic

A lot of cube builders seem to consider Simic, the Blue-Green guild, as somewhat of a problem child when it comes to selecting archetypes for the various color pairs in their cube.

Exploiting Delve: BUG Delve(-r) in Legacy

ConstructedBy CabalTherapy (2018-05-14)

In this outing, I look at a mechanic that has seen two of it rank banned or restricted in nearly every major format: Delve.

An Homage to the Strongest Card in Magic

EntertainmentBy SanchoN (2018-05-03)

Where would Magic be without the wonders of Counterspells, timing, priority and all the subtleties that come with the ability to tap an Island.

Legacy's Two-Cost Cantrips

ConstructedBy CabalTherapy (2018-04-30)

Zero Thrill: The Pact of Negation Story

ConstructedBy Kumagoro (2018-03-14)
