mtg black flicker cards Me: I think I'm going to make a +1/+1 counter deck. @blakepr: Here's sweet new #MTGC20 commanders to use! Me: I was thinking Temur colors but pseudo-blinking, card draw, and another reason then return those cards to the battlefield under your control. Blink (Visual)

make a creature with power two or less, then pay one generic mana to get a card

Since theyre a shaman, Harmonic Prodigy seems like a no-brainer: double the triggers means double the damage

This is very much "on average" and is much less certain than collecting Rares, because you may open 3 Mythics in a draft or you may go 10 drafts without opening any

The artifact or creature retains its abilities and colors, if any

Honestly, I always found keeping up 4 mana pretty clunky, so a 3 mana version is already more appealing to me even if the effect is appropriately nerfed a bit

A lot of old cards (and not that old, too) have some sketchy wording when it comes to abilities and mechanics
