Hi, any judges here? I have a question regarding the ruling of Final of Promise (haven't played magic in a while so I'm rusty.
Regarding hybrid cards, can you target for example the "Carnival" part of "Canival/Carnage" (since there is a sorcery in the double card) plus for example "Shock" (an instant)? My guess is no, but I remember in Modern there were some shenanigans with some double cards which doing some tricks you could cast the "expensive part" of a double card by only paying the mana for the cheap one.
Cause I've been looking and there aren't really any good 1 mana sorceries in standard, right? Opt, shock, etc are all instants. So maybe Final of Promise will be really good only from 4+ mana on, to cast two 2-mana spells?
the whole thing with niv being reborn with the elder spell was BS btw. mention of it was removed from the gamespot article.
I mean, it’s probably a spoiler they didn’t want to reveal yet.
more likely the author and editor only had a passing familiarity with the story and conflated one dragon casting a huge spell with another. shoddy game journalism, which isnt surprising from someone like gamespot.
besides its not like niv's resurrection makes no sense without any connection to the elder spell. hes a super genius that had been planning to harness the power of the guildpact in preparation for bolas. also, no elder spell involvement maintains the continuity of the spoiled cards (gods appearing, firemind vessel, niv returning inspiring hope/promise, disparate guilds 'bonding' with a guildpact infused leader to rally behind).
the only thing missing, and was confusing to many (including myself), was mention that niv had been struck down by bolas.
