S...Spark Elemental with cantrip is incredibly good. Spark Elemental that only cantrips if it doesn't die, though, is merely solid, I think.<br /><br />I think that the pseudo-Dash mode of Warrior's Invocation should be the only mode of the sorcery, though. The connection with dash could be made clear via name and flavour. Wizards are happy to sometimes put cards with effects similar to a set's keyword ability into the same set: I think of exalted and all the cards saying "Exalted. Whenever a creature you control attacks alone, do something else to it as well", as well as <i>Future Sight</i>'s Storm Entity.AlexChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05674122775216494431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-83247546821558404822015-02-12T09:38:00.184-05:002015-02-12T09:38:00.184-05:00I don't know about "incredibly powerful&q...I don't know about "incredibly powerful" - the second ability is essentially:<br /><br />RR<br />Sorcery<br />Put a 2/2 token onto the battlefield with haste.
