carbonize shouldn't be able to target carbon-based lifeforms

I really like it. One blast from this form any annoying low toughness creatuer, and it's gone. ^_^

It's useful against reanimation decks, but in general i'd prefer paying 1 less by playin Incinerate instead.

Try Incinerate instead...

yeah I'd rather pay one more and take down a larger creature with the carbonize as a combo with a throw away creature. you can get rid of a 5/5 by blocking with a cheap 2/1 and for the extra one you get exile. Usually worth the mana. Especially against black decks

wasn't there a card in Shards of Alara that did the same thing, only for 1 damage? seems like a great effect to slam on Incinerate. If I'm going to be playing something other than Lightning Bolt, I want all my bases covered. Needs uncounterable.

Since nobody has said it- this is more like a small version of Disintegrate, not a bigger Incinerate. By limiting the damage output to 3, you get to save {1} on what that much damage would cost for Disintegrate. Still prefer Lightning Bolt in most cases. Regenerate isn't that common these days, and the exile effect only really matters in a reanimation-heavy metagame.

You know, incinerate is better, but now you can have TWO of these in a deck, scuse me eight, and one is only one more cost. So use incinerate early game and this later when you have more mana.

Does anyone know of any other cards with this ability? I dont care the cost or damage. I already know about engulfing flames.

What are you looking for? The anti-regeneration effect or the exile effect?
Incinerate
Disintegrate
Demonfire
Red Sun's Zenit
Yamabushi's Flame
Pillar of Flame
Magma Spray
those are the ones that I know. If you're looking for something else, then you should use the advanced search...

Incinerate is good, but it doesn't kill Persist/Undying creatures as efficiently as Carbonize can.

Fantastic card, wow. Gravecrawler? Kitchen Finks? Get out of here and do not return. And it can finish off a player if it needs to, 4.5/5
