Beacon of Destruction Red Cards in Magic: the Gathering

Video Transcript

"Hi, this is Mike Lopez with Expert Village, and today we'll be discussing the red Magic color. Now we're going to go over Beacon of Destruction. Beacon of Destruction is one of my favorite Instants from the red section. It's three and two reds. It's an Instant. Once again, red Instant think direct damage. Almost all of them are direct damage or they're boosting a character. Now, Beacon of Destruction deals five damage. It's a rare card. It deals five damage. It's a rare card because of this, yes you paid five, it dealt five, dead even. Now there's an addition, this is a Bounce card, which means when you play it, after you play it Beacon of Destruction is shuffled into its owner?s library. So I just played the card, the card was played, but instead of going into my graveyard it goes into my library, gets shuffled around and who know, you might get it in a couple other turns and deal another five damage to somebody. Which makes this card very powerful because it just keeps going back into the library. And there's nothing you can do about it. There's no way to stop that effect minus a few cards that are in the blue realm of counter-spells of that nature."
