Ringskipper Blue Card in Magic the Gathering

Video Transcript

"MIKE LOPEZ: Hi. I'm Mike Lopez with Expert Village. And today, we'll be discussing the blue cards from the blue block of Magic: The Gathering. Here, we have Ringskipper. Ringskipper is from the Lorwyn block. It's a fairy wizard. Now, here we have--it's a 1/1. It costs you one and a blue, which means, of course, he's going to have an ability. Well, here you're going to get a free ability. The ability you paid for is flying. Now, the free ability is going to be whenever Ringskipper is put into a graveyard, you may clash with a player. Once again, you take the top card and reveal the top card of each library and whoever has the highest converted mana cost wins. If you win the clash, then instead of this creature going to the graveyard, you're going to return it to your hand so you can play him again. This is what's known as a recyclable blocker, because once again he's only 1/1, and he does have flying so you could constantly hit somebody. But if you have to sacrifice him in combat to block something and you win the clash, then he would go back into your hand and you could put him back out next turn."
