looks like captain american

Best medallion by far... counter more and draw more with this beauty.

Very nice card in all esper decks, also works wonder with mirrodin block.

Also lovely interaction with Etherium Sculptor, Stormscape Familiar and Lodestone Golem. You can also add Sphere of Resistance For some total control.

does this reduce the casting cost of buyback costs? (i.e. capsize)

@ good_lookin_guy: yes, it does

Actually I don't think it does lower buyback. Maybe the 1 in capsizes printed cost but not the buyback. If you want to reduce buyback costs use memory crystal.

Interesting interaction with counterspells like Mana Leak, Cryptic Command, and Dissipate.

@DacenOctavio Interesting interaction with...spells that get their cost reduced by Sapphire Medallion? O_o

@XTwistedsoulX: actually, it works. The rule about determinating what a spell costs is that you first add at its mana cost every addictional cost, then you apply every cost reduction. So if I want to play a Capsize with buyback and with 4 medallions in play, the calculation goes: + (buyback) - (medallions) = .

Those medallions are a lot of aceleration, in that if you cast 2 spell of the appropriate color is like that they add to your mana pool for each medallion. They need a reprint! I've already bought the playset of the blu one, now I'm looking for the red one...!

5/5

Copy Artifact is a blue spell!
Phyrexian Metamorph is a blue spell!
Inkwell Leviathan is a blue spell!

These would make great core set reprints. A shame that the development team thinks they're too strong, though.

Yes please. This is real power.

This makes Snapcaster Mage a 1 drop. That's insane.
