Alara Reborn - Card Spoils Discussion

Bituminous Blast Instant Cascade (When you play this spell, remove cards from the top of your library until you remove a nonland card that costs less. You may play it without paying its mana cost. Put the removed cards on the bottom in a random order.) Bituminous Blast deals 4 damage to target creature. #34/145

Though the randomness might bite you in the ass. "True glory consists in doing what deserves to be written; in writing what deserves to be read." - Pliny the Elder

Date Posted: 3/30/2009 Posted By: Penny Dude Member Since: 5/1/2008	The potential to kill a creature then get one for free seems good.
Date Posted: 3/31/2009 Posted By: Matthew Ratz Member Since: 2/29/2008	Im sorry, I misread this (Thought it was top 4 cards for some reason)... You don't maybe get a freebie, you do get a freebie. This card is great. Expecially since I hate drawing 2 drops on turn 10... I would much rather get to play it for free and get it out of my way. Playing to Win is Playing for Fun - Matthew Ratz

Date Posted: 3/31/2009 Posted By: Penny Dude Member Since: 5/1/2008	Since the ability triggers when the spell is played, Double Cast will still happen if the spell is countered.
Date Posted: 4/2/2009 Posted By: Ben Warren Member Since: 3/18/2008	I by no means completely know all of the rules, but it seems like you can't play a sorcery or creature with the Double Cast. Pwn'd.
Date Posted: 4/2/2009 Posted By: Ben Warren Member Since: 3/18/2008	Last I knew you could only play a creature, sorcery, artifact, and enchantment when the stack is empty. Pwn'd.
Date Posted: 4/2/2009 Posted By: Tim Scott Member Since: 4/9/2008	The ability should allow you to play any card you get as long as the mana cost is less          Evil will always triump because good is dumb.
Date Posted: 4/2/2009 Posted By: Penny Dude Member Since: 5/1/2008	You can play non-instants with Double Cast. It's similar to the ability on the hideaway lands.
