My buddy says I can't find a viable use for {Trait Doctoring} and so far he's correct...
I wanna run 4 of them for a funnzies deck.
All I see out of this card is EDH "protection from" tricks. Like ciphering it onto a {fire servant} or something to make it more than just red spells. I don't really understand why it's a rare. Like {alter reality}. Sure you can do tricks but its not really that great of a card.
Good luck!

Ya I feel the same way I'm usually pretty good with building around a certain card but I'm stumped..
You can alter a land type and color type
Lets say for instance {evil presence}
You're blue and have an island walk guy with protection from green. Change evil presence to be "enchanted land is now an island" and alter protection from green to blue. Now he's unblockable and you can change the doctoring for many items each turn you hit your opponent.
Real good card IMO
{flash fire} - change it forest swamp etc
Boom no more lands

Curse doesn't work sadly. :(

Since {Trait Doctoring} is Sorcery speed you can't change it as it enters the field correct?
I see the beginnings of a {dark depths} Marit Lage themed EDH deck...lol. Finally something to put {alter reality} and {sleight of mind} into lol
Works with extort mechanic and {Crypt Ghast}

How does it work with extort mech itself?
The cost, if I'm correct. I may be very wrong here but from the way I interpret the card it should work.

Good idea for decks using lands other than black
Ah ha! {Liliana of the Dark Realms} search for any Land!
Edit: Nvm brainfart.
It would work.

{yeva, natures herald}?
If only {Trait Doctoring} was an instant, but combat phase still works.
No
Yes, give her first strike say {Ethereal Armor} after first strike DMV but before regular you can cast the creature. It's like {Sword of Feast and Famine}
I'm guessing its going to be very relevant when theros comes out. Just a hunch.
With {Teysa, Orzhov Scion} it's infinite when you change black into white.
Good eye. There's one!
