Exiled Boggart Black Card in Magic the Gathering

Video Transcript

"MIKE LOPEZ: Hi. I'm Mike Lopez with Expert Village, and today we're going to be discussing the black color from "Magic: The Gathering". Here we have and I'm going to discuss "Exiled Boggart". "Exiled Boggart" is a very powerful card. It is a Goblin Rogue from the Lorwyn set. It costs ou 1 and a black to play and when he does is it gives you a 2/2 creature. Now, 2/2 creature for 2 mana is 100% mana efficiency because you have 2 mana for your 2/2, and you are also getting an ability (in this case, this ability is free), and we have here when Exiled Boggart is put into a graveyard from play to discard a card. Aha! This is not the free ability that helps you; it is actually the free ability that hurts you. Once again, you're getting even mana production so this ability is going to hinder you if he goes to the graveyard because you have to discard a card. Once again, you get this creature out faster than turn 3. Most 2/2s come out on turn 3, but you're getting him out faster, but he's going to make you pay a price if he goes to the graveyard. Keep this in mind when playing Exiled Boggart."
