Tidings of War
CommentsStandard 43 Eng.D+Usr.—
A cheap spell plus later flashback can support spell-count lists, but a 1/1 and four-mana +3 counters are low impact; below Sleight of Hand.
Could be wrong if Unrevealed sacrifice, Army, or graveyard payoffs could make the two castings materially more valuable.
Pioneer 28 Eng.FUsr.—
It supplies two spell casts over time, but neither body meaningfully advances Pioneer aggression and flashback is inefficient; well below Duress or Sleight of Hand.
Could be wrong if A credible red sacrifice or Army shell could turn the token and graveyard recast into needed resources.
Modern 24 Eng.FUsr.—
Cutter Prowess can count both castings, but this neither cantrips nor deals immediate damage; four mana for the second trigger is far below Modern rate.
Could be wrong if A newly enabled token-sacrifice or spell-count combo could value a one-card pair of casts more highly.
Legacy 22 Eng.FUsr.—
Two casts from one card are mildly useful for Phoenix-style spell density, but the token is negligible and {3}{R} flashback is far too slow beside Legacy engines.
Could be wrong if A resilient token-sacrifice interaction could provide a niche purpose not visible in the supplied context.
Pauper 34 Eng.D-Usr.—
It offers a cheap body and eventual second spell, but makes no card or mana and its four-mana recast is slow; below the impact of Guttersnipe.
Could be wrong if Pauper may have a sacrifice or spell-count shell where recurring token production is worth the low standalone rate.
Commander 32 Eng.D-Usr.—
A reusable sacrifice body with graveyard value has a real narrow home, but it creates only one Army and four mana for the sequel is weak in optimized pods.
Could be wrong if A commander that rewards casting from graveyards or repeatedly sacrificing a single token could elevate it.
Limited 59 Eng.C+Usr.—
One card can become a 4/4 Army across two castings, while retaining a reasonable 3/3-after-removal floor; a solid common, not decisive impact.
Could be wrong if Unknown format speed, removal, and Army support determine whether the slow flashback reliably converts into meaningful board presence.
“A low-impact early token with a mana-hungry second casting, best suited to spell-count or sacrifice synergies.”
