Video Transcript

"Hi. I'm Mike Lopez with Expert Village and today we'll be discussing artifacts from Magic the Gathering. Now, I'm going to discuss Talon of Pain. Talon of Pain is a very powerful card that is an uncommon, as we see here. And, it is an artifact. Which means, it stays in play. It can only be dealt with if your opponent is running artifact destruction. Now, Talon of Pain costs you four to put in play and has a very very powerful powerful quality to it. Whenever a source you control other than Talon of Pain deals damage to an opponent, put a charge counter on Talon of Pain. Now, once again it does not come into play with counters on it. However, whenever you deal damage to an opponent whether it be one damage in which case you would get a counter. Or, you would get a counter if there are two sources dealing one. But, as long as a source deals damage you put a counter on it. So, if you have four sources in one turn deal damage to a player you put four counters on it. Now, this have is that you and it's X and tap. Which means, that you pay X where X is the number of counters you want to take off Talon of Pain and you tap it and remove X charge counters off Talon of Pain. And, Talon of Pain itself deals X damage to target creature or player. Once again, this is a late game blow up that you just stock until you need to damage your opponent enough to kill him."
