[ARB] Ardent Plea

Psychatrog · 04-17-2009, 07:18 PM

So, today I received a package from Wizards labeled "Do not open until FNM." Or, at least, that's what I found out it said *after* I opened the package. Inside were six Alara Reborn cards, some chocolate gold coins (Gold! Har har) and a note from Wizards saying, basically, "Your FNM location rules, here's this, enjoy."

Five of the six had been spoiled, but Ardent Plea had not. Here's the text:
Ardent Plea 1WU
Enchantment
Exalted
Cascade

Yep, that's the entire card. Simple and cute, and full of reminder text.

Here are pictures of the cards as well as one happy picture of me holding the lootz. Fear my crappy lo-res iPhone pics! Of all the days to forget my camera...

All foils? No fair! I want foil copies.

Nice to finally see what Ardent Plea does. Cool card.

Simple, and elegant. Who'd have thought a card with just two keywords in its textbox could be so enticing?

Donutninja · 04-17-2009, 07:24 PM

White/Blue Weenie exalted enabler?

DalkonCledwin · 04-17-2009, 07:25 PM

cascade + Exalted? Interesting, definitely useful, I could actually see this getting alot of play on various levels.

Hmmm interesting...in bant turn 2 dropping this gets you an exalted enabler and teeg or sculler randomly (or meddling mage)...but it might also get a Path to Exile, which ends up crapping you out. Deffinetly worth testing.

Cascade says you MAY play the card; if you hit Path and wouldn't benefit from it, you can just send it to the bottom of your deck.

Correct! If you don't cast it, it's still one of the "removed cards."

Maokun · 04-17-2009, 07:35 PM

Omg, if you get a Quasali Pridemage or another 2cmc exalted your attacker gets +2/+2. If you curved all your exalted drops you'd be attacking with a 6/6 in turn 3!

Traz · 04-17-2009, 07:36 PM

Exalted AND Cascade?! This exalted will build, the Cascade will thin as it tutors.... can you say...... GOOODNESSSS?!

Donutninja · 04-17-2009, 07:38 PM

They need more simple but awesome cards like this.

darksys92 · 04-17-2009, 07:39 PM

Wow, you could build a deck with CMC > 2 and put in Meddling Mages, so this becomes:

Ardent Plea? = Meddling Mage

Enchantment
Exalted
When you play this, search your deck for Meddling Mage and put it into play.

I mean, you can figure out something to do with it like this that's really crazy. In extended, go find a Jitte?

How did you get the cards ? Also I think you could get suspended by the DCI for revealing Ardent Plea.
