cards that double damage mtg Cleave - Eventide At the beginning of each end step Damage and Replacements in MTG

its part of what keeps me coming back

I love that this particular piece of flavor text comes from a rather old card when Magic was still trying to find its footing when it came to flavor and lore

However, we are taking each card at face value and assessing how impactful we expect it to be based on mana cost, abilities, and power/toughness

However, keywords such as Trample allow excess damage to be assigned to the player (or planeswalker or battle)

That invests Glissa with a whole lot more power and usefulness than you might normally expect
