Courtesy of Wizards of the Coast (WotC) and Commander Cookout, take a look at the newest Saga from Kaldheim — Battle of Frost and Fire!
Battle of Frost and Fire deals 4 damage to each non-Giant creature and each planeswalker.
For five mana, Battle of Frost and Fire opens with a nice sweeper effect, dealing four damage to each creature that isn’t a Giant. Important to note, there are several Changelings in Kaldheim, so you can safely play them onto the battlefield before playing this card!
Scry 3.
Now that you’ve cleaned up the battlefield, the second lore counter lets you scry three cards and help push your advantage.
Whenever you cast a spell with converted mana cost 5 or greater this turn, draw two cards, the discard a card.
The third and final lore counter allows you to cast and then replace a spell with converted mana cost five or greater. If you’re casting Battle of Frost and Fire on Turn 5 or sooner, you’ll likely only be able to cast one CMC five or higher spell, but should you cast this saga later in the game, the chances of getting additional value increases a ton.
So what do you think of Battle of Frost and Fire? Will this saga help make Izzet Control a top contender in Kaldheim Standard? Let us know in the comments below!
Kaldheim is currently scheduled to release on February 5. You can check out our official Kaldheim Preview Gallery here.
