The lucky chap who found the card, one Brook Trafton, confirmed that he paid a total of $2 million for the blingy piece
Scalable and/or X-spells are also great inclusions for decks that generate a lot of mana, as a late-game Crackle with Power, Burn at the Stake, Comet Storm or Urza's Rage can dish out such mighty degrees of damage that even Commander players quake in fear
To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you're paying (such as an escape cost), add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions
If youve seen some of the cards available in Modern, youll know that this gives you a disgusting amount of options, and doing it all in reaction to somebody attacking you or during their end step is rather silly
Such mischief
