Rune Snag 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 Rune Snag. Rune Snag, we're going to discuss, is a one and a blue. You see down here it's from the Coldsnap. It's from one of the newer expansions, newer expansion, very eyes oriented. It's blue, which goes along well with this color. Now, what this is? It is an instant, so you can play it during any phase of the game. It's a counter target spell unless its controller pays two plus an additional two for each card named Rune Snag in each graveyard, which means that if you put four of this card in your deck, the first time you counter a target spell, that owner has to pay two more mana for that spell or else the spell is countered. Now, once again, if you play this another time, one of these cards will already be in your graveyard, so the next time you play this, the owner will have to play one, two for this Rune Snag extra and you have to pay two more colorless to play the spell if he wants to play it, otherwise it will be countered. And this affects [INDISCERNIBLE] so when the fourth one comes in to play, if you get it, then it will cost two or it will be--it will cost two for this one and then one, two, three, four, five, six for the Rune Snags that you already played and that will cost them eight to play the spell that he wanted to play extra or Rune Snag will counter that spell. A very powerful card."
