In essence, every MDFC is a slightly overcosted spell combined with a slightly underpowered land (thanks to coming into play tapped or costing three life to come into play untapped, in the case of the mythic MDFC cycle, and only tapping for one color of mana)
Slotted in as a sideboard card within Sultai Ultimatum decks at the Kaldheim Championship, the Legendary Serpent rose in value to around $15 for its regular version in 2022
For example, if you cast Junkblade Bruiser (a creature with a mana value of 5 and an ability that triggers whenever you expend 4) by paying its full cost of five mana, youll already have spent four mana on spells before Junkblade Bruiser enters, and therefore its ability that triggers whenever you expend 4 wont be able to trigger at all that turn
Cards like Mental Modulation will help to keep the spell count flowing
This Borderless Book Cover card is a Surge Foil and will no doubt be a must-have for any Lord of the Rings fan who also plays Magic: The Gathering
