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". Now, we're going to discuss Marsh Flitter. Marsh Flitter is a very powerful card, is out of the Lorwyn block, is an uncommon, it is a creature - faerie rogue. Now, once again, the Lorwyn set is trying to specifically build up the creature types of faeries and merfolk, and costs you 3 and a black to play. Three and a black to play and you're playing a 1/1. Now, once again, you're paying four in converted mana cost for a 1/1, means there's going to be, at least one really cool ability, or a few really cool abilities. Now, in this case, this creature has flying, means it can only be blocked by creatures with flying and/or reach, and it also has when Marsh Flitter comes into the play, put two 1/1 black goblin rogue creature tokens into play. So, when you play him, you're getting two extra 1/1 creatures, which means that basically, getting their equivalent of a 3/3, which makes them even mana production, and now, you are actually going to get a free ability, as long as flying is also a free ability, but you're going to get an extra free ability, and this ability is sacrificing goblin. Marsh Flitter becomes a 3/3 until end of turn. So, now you can sacrifice a goblin that came into play, to make him a 3/3 during any turn you choose. It's a very powerful card."
