mtg channel card Channel – MTG Throwback Thursday

This is another card that really put the boot in on Grave Titan displaying a scarily comparable play pattern and clock at two thirds the mana cost

Whenever equipped creature deals damage, put two charge counters on Cloud's Buster Sword

Once you hit 25 or more life, Twinblade Paladin gets double strike, letting you deal out a ton of damage in just a few turns if you play it on turn four, or earlier if you have a little ramp

Of course, Final Fantasy isnt the only video game series to come to MTG

The defiler cycle are pretty cheap, but the Green one is the one I am regularly terrified to see across a Commander table

But more than that, its a great testament to how having a strong flavor and associated mechanical identity can help mitigate the complexity of even the wordiest cards
