DAILY RANDOM MTG CARD: Baneslayer Angel

Go back to the days of the Core Sets (which are now discontinued), where you would often see a bunch of one creature type dominating the set. The mythic rare Baneslayer Angel thrives in this era of MtG. Its’ mana cost seems reasonable for its power and toughness, as well as for what the card can do while it’s on the field.


You get flying, first strike, lifelink, and protection from demons and dragons. I don’t know about your feelings towards this particular card, but it’s this kind of crazy cards that makes me love Magic: the Gathering. I also forgot to mention that it’s a 5/5 for a five drop; most angels mana cost are crazy high for something that brings a lot less to the table.


Which one of these heavenly beings is your favorite?

DAILY RANDOM MTG CARD: RAGING GOBLIN

Daily random Magic: the Gathering card pick is Raging Goblin. There really shouldn't be any Goblin deck without at least four of these Raging Goblins. This Goblin has been around the block a few times; it can be traced way back to the classic 6th Edition set. I chose this card because the artwork is just so amusing to look at. We have a tiny goblin whose holding an axe over his head, that seems to be bigger than his body, with its tongue sticking out. Can't go wrong with having a card with a one drop mana cost that comes out swinging straight away with its haste ability


What goblins do you like to have in your deck to play with?

DAILY RANDOM MTG CARD: DARU STINGER

Daily random Magic: the Gathering card pick of the day is... DARU STINGER from Legions. To date, it has never been reprinted. It’s a 1/1 creature with a 3 and a plains mana cost; pretty high for a soldier card.  It has a good reason for it though, the amplify ability. When you cast this card, in addition to its casting cost, you reveal however many soldier creatures in your hand. It gets that many +1/+1 counters on the card. So if you have 4 soldiers in your hand, it gets +4/+4, making it a 5/5 creature. Nice!

Daru Stinger also has another ability that uses the +1/+1 counters on the card. You tap Daru Stinger and it deals damage equal to the number of +1/+1 counters on it to target attacking or blocking creature. There’s a good chance of this card actually killing the other card attacking or blocking, or it could lower the defense of the attacking or blocking creature, making it more vulnerable to your own creatures.
