Miror B Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 [R] Instant Geistflame deals 1 damage to target creature or player. Flashback [3R] (You may cast this card from your graveyard for its flashback cost. Then exile it.) A card I've overlooked for a while now, but with all the aggro out there, this and Pillar of Flame seem like incredible first turn draws against all the aggro stuff, especially since Geistflame hits things like Experiment One, Champion of the Parish, Stromkirk Noble, Boros Elite and more (before they start buffing themselves that is). I have a newfound respect for this card in my burn decks. It and Pillar are pretty much the only things keeping Aggro from shutting them down. Flashback's cool too, but I find it too much for use unless I have literally nothing left to do with my mana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hounds Of Anubis Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 The problem with this card the most, is that it tends to hit only one card in a deck, if it hits anything at all. So it's naturally very weak.It was good pre-rotation, in the UWR Burning Vengeance deck as an anti-control control deck, but there's currently not a huge enough impact coming from control for that. It's nice against mana dorks in Junk Rites, and it's nice to mise a win by slowing down aggro decks against specific draws, but it's not worth devoting a slot to in a deck.
