This is the second part in my blog installments about my favorite set: Future Sight. You can read my reasons for liking this set so much on the original post (http://mtgdeckblogaura.blogspot.com/2011/01/magic-gathering-future-sight-part-1.html), but if that is where you came from, then enjoy these next cards.
Force of Savagery is one of those low cost cards with high power with a drawback. The drawback of this card is its 0 toughness, which is quite strange, meaning it will instantly die upon its summoning. You must have a card that can grant your field universal toughness, and if you do, enjoy your 9/1 trample for free.
Ghostfire is a card that's awesome in more ways than one. It may cost 2 more than lightning bolt, but it does have the added bonus of being colorless, and thus avoids protection and other card restraints. The other awesome thing is that in the storyline, the ghostflame is the way that Chandra and Jace defeat Sarkon, also inadvertently activating the Eye of Ugin, a plot that wouldn't be released until years after this card's printing. As a side note this card even mentions the Eye of Ugin in the flavor text.
Grinning Ignus is a reusable ritual card, granting two free mana with its ability. Even though its ability was nerfed by M10, it is still an invaluable card, giving a player 6 possible mana by turn 4.
Grove of the Burnwillows is a pretty decent land, but what makes it awesome is its art. Like a few other lands of the set, it has full color, and a grove of fiery trees makes a pretty sweet field too.
Imperial Mask is a very useful enchantment, especially if you enjoy the two headed giant game. This card, which is the only card to mention teammates, gives you and all of your allies shroud from the enemy, without a heavy color investment. You will find yourself enjoying the shielding from burn and discard this gives your team in any 2v2.
Imperiosaur is a great 4 drop creature for a 5/5. Like all amazing creatures, the catch is that you have to pay this cost with only basic lands. I personally like this, because I do not have a very lucrative money supply, so all I can afford are basic lands. Like most of these cards, it is an amusing stipulation.
This is the second of my multi-blog installment of my favorite future sight cards. Check out http://www.mtgfanatic.com for all these cards and much, much more for low prices and awesome discounts. Enjoy!
