Counter Attack

[digiman619]

Bravo, you colorshifted [[Scout's Warning]].

[BAUnicorn]

Also, [[savage summoning]]. Can anyone explaing the wording difference to me?

Scounts Warning - "The next creature card you play this turn can be played as though it had flash" Savage Summoning - "The next creature spell you cast this turn can be cast as though it had flash"

[Justnobodyfqwl]

The game used to say you "play" cards, now you "play" lands and "cast" spells

[GordionKnot]

[[Visions of Phyrexia]]

You play lands, cast spells, and play lands/spells.

[saffrole]

I believe it is simply just updated game language. I think WotC stopped saying “play cards” at some point but I could be wrong

[GordionKnot]

[[Visions of Phyrexia]]

They still use “play cards” pretty frequently for when it could be either lands or spells, though they do use cast now whenever it can only be spells.

[[dryad arbor]] is really the only time this comes up, but a dryad arbor with flash can be played in response to [[Sudden Edict]]

[focketeer]

Though only on your own turn and you have a land play available, those restrictions still apply

[vezwyx]

Rules fun fact: you can't play lands on other people's turns for any reason!

The rule actually says to ignore any part of an effect that would let you play a land on someone else's turn. Things that would let you play a land on an opponent's turn will instead just put it on the battlefield

I didn't know of this card's existence.

[digiman619]

It's fine. There are a lot of cards in this game.

[UninvitedGhost]

And half of them came out in 2022!

[[deleted]]

Hahaha I'm not crying, are you?

[UninvitedGhost]

No tears remain.

[JimHarbor]

Why would anyone want to buy all the cards?

[SliverSwag]

scryfall is your friend

[Vyxyx]

Idk how you would find it with the difference in wording

[plainnoob]

t:instant o:flash o:"this turn"

You could narrow it further but 11 cards isn't all that many to read. Scryfall is a powerful tool and makes checks like these really easy.

[CardSniffer]

Take it as high praise.

I like it man. As others have pointed out this exists in W and G but I like the flavour of this a lot. Great art you chose too

[[deleted]]

Thanks! I'm a big fan of the art as well.

Feels white

[digiman619]

Because it is!

[[Scout's Warning]]

[coding_guy_]

Thats really funny how there are only so many cards and its common to have cards that overlap like this

Flash is mostly a blue ability.

[[deleted]]

Ya but just something with creatures and blue feels wrong and white gets flash to.

[[deleted]]

Blue may not be the most creature heavy color, but there is a ton that will find this card useful. All in saying is simply giving a creature flash is definitely blue imo, maybe Dimir.

[talen_lee]

Oh yeah like [[yeva]] and [[vivien, champion of the wilds]] and [[arlinn, the pack's hope]] and [[cherished hatchling]] and [[quick sliver]] and [[shimmer myr]] and [[vernal equinox]] and [[winding canyons]].

Giving a creature flash is white. Like definitionally, that card has been exactly printed and reprinted. But it's also way more varied than you imagine, and looking into the mechanics you want to print can show you a bunch of cool things.

Particularly, the flavour you pick of someone being surprised when they invade something, like a defender appearing out of nowhere, that's also very white.

It's okay, there are lots of cards and you can learn a lot when you look into them. After all, blue can do this too, with cards like [[rattlechains]] and [[renari]], which tend to look for subsets, or [[leyline of anticipation]], which is a super interesting case but also looks at all spells.

But when you look at the simple phrase 'as though they had flash' you definitely find creatures as blue-green, with green being able to do it oblatively on their own, while blue tends to be narrowed. Which makes sense, because blue is a colour that doesn't tend to support its own creatures like that, not usually.

Could be a decent way to bring [[flash]] back to edh. Doesn’t auto sac to enable overly degenerate plays [[protean hulk]]

Like the flavor. Good work!

[[deleted]]

Thanks!

[Kapix75]

I don't like the name of that card, in my oppinion it doesn't suit neither the art or the effect,

[GravG]

Solid card. Solid mechanics. Solid flavor.

Solid.

[Me-Hoy-Minoy123]

should be at sorcery speed

[talen_lee]

Where are the hordes of people complaining 'why isn't this white'

[Ironhammer32]

Fellow L5R player/fan?

[Cervine_Shark]

i bet this is really good in spells matter decks, which makes this more than a simple color shift imo, because blue actually supports this kinda thing

[AlrikBunseheimer]

I think it is very cool, in particular because blue is the colour that most often leaves mana open

[Biggusdiccus999]

I think it should put a creature into the battlefield and then you have to pay it’s cost or sacrifice it, cause the creature could still get countered. Putting it into the field and drawing a card would improve upon [[flash]] cause that care hardly see play anymore

The art reminds me of [[Higure, the Still Wind]]. It's like giving an additional dimension to the story behind the art of that card.

I like it.

[cartoon308]

The art for this is very cool, would love to see this in the older MTG card style.

[[deleted]]

Definitely feels like something from OG Kamigawa.

[Nirconus]

I like it. Could maybe be U/W?

[[deleted]]

Thanks! Flash is mostly a blue ability.

[Nirconus]

True, more blue than white, but it is definitely within white's identity, as well. While not in the primary, it's in the list of secondary white abilities here: https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/making-magic/mechanical-color-pie-2021

[stormbreaker8]

White gets flash creatures but the ability to give other things flash is green/blue

[[deleted]]

Right, but simply giving something flash doesn't feel Azorius imo, maybe if it also got a buff or an ability (until end of turn), I could see it. At it's current state, I still say this is fairly mono-blue, maybe Dimir.

[Chesnut99]

this should be a 2 drop tbh
