Vivid Creek 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. And now, we're going to discuss Vivid Creek. Vivid Creek, you see here, is out of the blue block. The reason, you could tell it's out of the blue block is because it has a blue border. It is a land. Notice it just says land; it does not say anything special which means it indicates that it is a basic land. It's an uncommon, out of your Lorwyn set. And as you could see here, Vivid Creek comes into play tapped, which means that when it hits the board, it must be tapped which means that turn that it hits the board it cannot be played for mana. It also comes in with two charged counters on it. Now, it has two abilities. As in land, you can tap four blue mana into your mana pool, or you can tap and remove a charged counter from Vivid Creek; and you can put any color mana, one of any color mana, into your mana pool. However, you can only play this ability twice because there's not the ability to put tokens back onto Vivid Creek, so it's what you call a one burn for a multicolored deck. This is very good if you have a multicolored deck with the color blue in it."
