MTG Salvation

Mana disruption in my blue?

How good is the average case scenario of having half of your opponent's lands phase out the turn after this is played (turn n +1) as well as turns n + 3, n + 5, etc.? Just trying to think outside the box. Spreading Seas, which saw a lot of play in UB control a couple of years ago, also comes to mind.

Not good enough unless you can somehow abuse it. Which is hard in cube.

Maybe decent in multiplayer or edh cubes (but I prefer it in mono blue constructed edh). This thing is good for hamstringing a couple choice, mono-colored opponents until you can establish your own board presence. I think with majority of cube decks ending up bi or tri colored, this thing's full potential isn't well supported.

It's hard to say how crippling this can be without trying it first hand over a number of games. If you have one, it's probably worth trying out. I'd be keen to hear about it.

I don't think this is ever what I want to be doing with a 4 mana blue card. Even a 4 mana counterspell would probably be better in most cases.

I'd much sooner play Parallax Tide.

I agree...and I do.



But this card does seem somewhat interesting...nice that it does hit Alpha duals and shocklands. I'll keep an eye out for this card and might try it out if I get my hands on one.

Also, Sunder can be a game-ender with the right timing. Being an instant can be pretty clutch.
