"figuring out crackle with power usually requires a phd in math" LMAO this was unexpected

I find the easiest way for me to think about crackle with power + hinata is to just pretend it costs XXRR instead of XXXRR

If you played a fetchland before copying brainstorm with Chandra, you could have shuffled once before the 2nd brainstorm resolved! Not being nitpicky or anything but watching you for years now has made me really detail oriented when it comes to lines of play in Magic, so I appreciate you tons, Luca!!!
@LegenVD8 ай бұрын
Good point, although I think it still makes more sense to shuffle afterwards unless we have two fetches in hand. Otherwise we end up Brainstorm locked and there's even the chance of redrawing the same cards we just shuffled back.

An easy way to think about the calculation of the mana cost of Crackle With Power is to represented in an equation where the original mana cost is 3*x+2, where x is the number of targets. Then we can substract the discount of the number of targets from the total which is represneted by x. So the final equation would be 3*x+2-x = 2x+2. So the final cost with the discount amount to 2 times the number of targets +2, and the series for the first five targets are 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, ..., etc.

I imagine if your opponent is tapped out and they are just out of reach from a lethal Crackle with Power, you can target your own Hinata to push the damage over the edge.

16:50 Taking out Delina as the third target instead of Domri the planeswalker is an assured victory on that turn. Yes, the opponent conceded anyway but just something to think about.

Hinata just takes away one of the "X" in the casting cost of crackle as long as you have the required number of targets. 4 - 6 - 8 - 10 instead of the normal 5 - 8 - 11 - 14

@Hedgemonkey58 ай бұрын
Pro Tip: Hinata is a Spirit, so Geistlight Snare will usually get a discount for controlling a spirit and a discount for targeting, giving you a one mana Miscast that can counter any spell!

@Aburaishi8 ай бұрын
Not sure if it helps, but I just turn it into a little baby algebra equation - cost = 2 + 3x (x -> number of targets). With Hinata, it's 2 + 2x, ezpz. This just happens to trigger the part of my brain that still remembers 6th grade math, so it works much faster lmao

@brakalanga76678 ай бұрын
I think that's the reason as well, and even if I don't understand that decision I fully respect it. However, this is different: Hinata + Snowborn Simulacra is not just a good combo, it's literally THE combo the card is known for. And it's strong, sure, but it's also a ridiculously janky looking effect, to the point you can turn the whole match into a living meme if you feel like it, and sometimes even opponents seem to enjoy, funnily enough. To each their own, I guess.

That last match was probably my most favorite game to watch so far. It was so close at so many points, yet you limped through it until you clutched. It was so good. Peak magic. Was thinking for a while between building ovika or hinata (on paper, not arena), and Damm has this video tipped the scales in one direction
