Use with Astral Slide and Lightning Rift

apparently these new kids don't see the power of old decks unless they spout baneslayers and lightning bolts

So for 2RedRed you do 1 damage to one target, 2 to another, blink another, and a card? All in one card, I'd say awesome. But a three card combo is well... a three card combo.

I'm with OmegaSerris. Astral Slide WAS good in its day, but its day is gone. There are better cards to point to if you want to take the Grumpy Old Man point of view, which I USUALLY enjoy hearing, as you're USUALLY right. But not this time. I'd take a Hammer of Bogardan over this, thanks.

A cheap card for people running Astral Slide and couldn't afford the Eternal Dragon part of the combo

3/5

I kind of liked this kind of Cycling effect: one where if you did cycle, you can still do stuff.

Cycling is decent when you're in a pickle, and the added damage is icing on the cake. Not the greatest or most impressive cake, but a cake none-the-less.

I do prefer the decree's over this in terms of cycling, but every card has its place: you can't have a deck that has 40 rares and hope to win every game. You need a little bit or support as well.

3/5 for decency.
