Best card in M14

[Bman0121]

It's the exact same casting cost. It would different if you were comparing say {shock} and {searing spear}. Then yeah, shock would be more relevant early game. But bolt and shock both cost a single {R} AND bolt is also good late if you need to get extra damage in. Why would you not choose that?

i didn't say I wouldn't run bolt. At least I didn't intend to. I'd run both. That way, I'd have more burn, and more spot removal

Well that changes everything. If I had both, I'd use whatever I drew into first if dealing with a creature was paramount. If I had both in hand, however, then yes, {shock} would be the way to go.

If you can play  {Lightning Bolt} you probably want to run  {Galvanic Blast} instead because of the chance that you might get an some artifacts from your opponent or something

{shock} being instant means not dealing with waiting for {pillar of flame}

{Strionic Resonator} because {Voice of Resurgence}, {Angel of Serenity}, {Predetor Ooze}, {Snapcaster Mage}, {Archangel of Thune}, {Kalonian Hydra}, and many others were not good enough before!

{Strionic Resonator} because {Voice of Resurgence}, {Angel of Serenity}, {Predetor Ooze}, {Snapcaster Mage}, {Archangel of Thune}, {Kalonian Hydra}, and many others were not good enough before!

Also plays well with  {Illusionist's Bracers}, so you can triple activate that activated ability you love so much!

I think the Bracers only works on activated abilities.

[MementoMori]

The Bracers have a triggered ability that copies an activated ability. The Resonator can copy that triggered ability.

Right, but I can't equip a creature with a triggered ability and copy that with the Bracers. But the Resonator can triple an activated ability when the Bracers are equipped.

[Birdbrain]

If you turned the resonator into a creature and equipped the bracers, what would happen? Could you copy its activated ability indefinity?

[Birdbrain]

Oh, yes you could if you choose te bracers ability as the target

Edit: is there a card that triggers when an ability triggers?

[Birdbrain]

Wait! Equip 2 bracers and you can copy an activated ability an infinite number of times I think....!

[IntoFire]

Now that I think of it, the Newt+Cauldron+Witch is a pretty good combo.

[FlickerYourOwnIdentity]

Let me clarify.

The bracer's ability is a triggered ability that targets an activated ability.  Lets equip the bracers to {Elite Archavist}.  Having {Strionic Resonator} on the field.  Archavist uses its ability with a {Lightning Bolt} attached to it.  The bracers triggers its ability.  Resonator targets the bracers triggered ability and you now have three lightning bolts

[Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth]

I like the enchantment stuff. {Blightcaster} will work well with an enchantment deck I already have. I also really like the Lifegain, extort, enchantment Black/White combinations with the Ravnica block. {Ajani's Chosen}, {Etheral Armor}, {Sphere of Safety} and {Blind Obedience} will all work together nicely.

[Vampyvyrus]

Imagine the fun to be had with  {Voracious Wurm} and a few of the life gain things that came out in m14 like  {Archangel of Thune} and  {Congregate}

[Birdbrain]

Not sure if its the strongest, but its definitly flexibly useful. {jaces, mindseeker}. Its playable outside mill, because its mill is more of a means to hit an instant or sorcery rather than mill. Its got a decent body for its cost in blue, and It has flying. Definitly a decent blue card
