Correct. But not being cast also has its advantages. The main one being Counterbalance.Originally Posted by Richard Cheese
Quizzle I owe you an apology.
Copying Entreat with Dualcaster is, in fact, NOT terrible.
Still, Dualcaster doesn't fit nicely into any existing decks therefore it can never be played. Now excuse me while I search TCDecks for whatever I'm playing this week. I think it's called Viking something...
Brainstorm gets banned, before this guy gets playable.
For Snapcaster stats (2/1 1R) it would be a very interesting card. As is, as said. Crap
Agreed, my point was not so much about the tournament playability of pandemonium, but more to demonstrate an easily overlooked element of reef wurm. Not that I would buy the card, because it's simply not good enough by itself I think.
Dualcaster Mage however, is a solid purchase imo.
Nic fit seems like the best deck to try it out in a competitive deck
I guess, that would probably be more relevant if it wasn't an ETB effect though.
He is a Human though, which was a pretty popular setting for Cavern of Souls at one point.
I think the biggest thing is the deep seeded emotional understanding that the right play is the right play regardless of outcomes. The ability to make a decision 5 straight times, lose 5 times because of it, and still make it the 6th time if it's the right play. - Jon Finkel

He costs 3cc. That's reliable enough.
Strategically important is that, in a vacuum Dualcaster Mage is always better than the opponent's spell. 1: Your spell resolves first, 2: Your spell leaves a 2/2 body in addition to the symmetric spell effect.
Eh, between Clique, Entreat, and Council's Judgement it's not like Miracles can't find a 3. I say drop Green and go with Flashy Grixis. Cavern on Humans gets you this guy, Snapcaster, Izzet Staticaster, and Lotion Theif. Now just find a reliable way to get to 7 mana!

I got quoted, and people agreed with me! wow! I'm just used to posting crappy decklists on spoiler threads that get ignored. . . this is new
That said - to repeat something Reef wurm plus reccuring nightmare doesn't seem awful. I mean . . . it is awful since it's too expensive, but it looks much better than Pandemonium.
It would be beyond broken at 1R.
Twinflame+Dualcaster is pretty nice.
I think you just broke the format.
For that matter, Dualcaster on Howl of the Horde is gonna wreck lives! Six copies of Galvanic Blast on the stack, fucker!
How do you stack the effects to go infinite with this? I don't think you can without a second twinflame?
Why can't you? The original twinflame has not resolved yet. It's a legitimate target, no?
Have a creature in play, cast twinflame, then cast dualcaster with the new copy target dualcaster and go off. You need a creature in play to start the combo.

Team Brown & Team Unicorn. Does that make me a Brown Unicorn?
I guess you'd have to have a body in play so you can cast twinflame first. Maybe Heat Shimmer is better.
Triggered abilities don't go on the stack until a player would receive priority.
Twinflame targeting any dude
Dualcaster in response to your own Twinflame
Assume helpless opponent
Dualcaster resolves, targets Twinflame
Dualcaster's ability resolves; Twinflame copy goes on top of the stack
Twinflame copy resolves, targets Dualcaster
Twinflame copy resolves; Dualcaster copy targets original Twinflame
and so on.
zomg so good, needs b&
Huh? Read Tsumi's response above.
