Herbal Poultice Artifact Card in Magic the Gathering

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Mike Lopez with expert Village, and today we'll be discussing artifacts from Magic the Gathering. Here we have another very powerful artifact from the Lowland set. It is called Herbal Poultice. Herbal Poultice is an artifact, which once again, stays in play until it is dealt with. Herbal Poutice costs you nothing to put out. Once again, it is another free artifact. Free artifacts are great because you never have to pay for them; only have to pay for their ability, if even you have to do that. Now down here we have its ability. Its ability is great, because it's tap 3 manna, sacrifice Herbal Poultice. Once again, you will find that a lot of free cards will be free, but you have to sacrifice them when you use their ability. And what it does is it allows you to re-generate target creature. And you must remember regeneration has to happen on the stack, while the card is going to the graveyard. Once again, while it is going to the graveyard, not when it gets to the graveyard. Once it is already in the graveyard you cannot re-generate it. You have to do something that allows you to play it from the graveyard. Once again, this timing is very, very important, because if you mistime a step in Magic, then the odds are you are going to lose. But once again, this card is free, and allows you to re-generate a creature, which makes it very powerful."
