Magic the Gathering - Disdainful Stroke (February 2015 FNM Promo)

by  ElspethFTW, Old School Duelist

Disdainful Stroke is a very useful counterspell.  With the February Friday Night Magic promo version, now players could foil out their copies. It was a sideboard option in pretty much any deck playing Blue in Standard format at the time. There were some control decks even played it in the main deck. This was due to the number of 4 mana or greater cost spells being played in the current format. It's not a bad sideboard option in Modern, either.

Players could also look forward to March's promo, Hordeling Outburst, and April's promo, Suspension Field, both of which are very useful and playable cards. Wizards of the Coast was doing a very good job with identifying cards that players would like to have promotional copies of in order to "pimp" out their decks and collections.
