Artifacts
Welcome to MAGIC WORDS!!! Today's article will focus on my
top five MAGIC cards for today, and the LOSER OF THE WEEK AWARD.
Each card will be presented by name-casting cost-power/toughness-
special powers and my opinion of the card. Today, we will focus
on ARTIFACTS.
AEGIS OF THE MEEK - 3 of any mana
When tapped with 1 mana, give a 1/1 creature +1/+2 until end of turn.
This card sucks. It only works with 1/1 creatures. What a wussy card!
ADARKAR SENTINEL-5 of any mana-3/3-+1/+0 until end of turn
Not only does this card dish out pain, but it rocks too! You
can keep giving yourself +1/+0 on every turn and rack up the
damage.
AEOLIPILE-1 of any mana
When tapped, sacrifice AEOLIPILE to
deal 2 damage to any target. Got a monster that just picks away
at your life? Get this!! With this, you can get rid of that
monster and feel pretty good about it.
ALADDIN'S RING-8 of any mana
When tapped, do 4 damage to any
target. This will wipe out any monster. It costs 8 times the
mana of the AEOLIPILE, but it does twice the damage. Sound like
a winner to me.
*And last but not least...*
AL-ABARA'S CARPET-5 of any mana
When tapped, prevent all
damage done to you by attacking non-flying creatures. This card
rules!! If you get caught in the middle of an onslaught, just
play this card and laugh in their faces.
*LOSER OF THE WEEK AWARD*
ALLADIN'S LAMP
However many mana you want to tap (X)-When
tapped, instead of the usual draw, draw X cards and but take only
1 into hand. Shuffle the leftovers and put them at the bottom of
the library. There's no excuse for this card. It would stay
here forever, but there must be room for others.
That just about does it for today. Join me next time as I give my
reviews for 6 BLACK cards. See ya' then!
