The problem is that X requires mana as well as life.

Still a great catch with the netsuke though.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you still need to pay X mana... See the mana cost?

Another thing - your upkeep technically comes before the draw, so your opponent will still have only seven cards when their upkeep comes... and the max hand size is seven, so come the discard phase, they'll have seven cards in hand again.

So even under ideal conditions, you'd still need the opponent to have eight or more cards before their first upkeep for this to work.

greg-reread the owl it needs 7 cards, each opponenet will take 4 damage at upkeep if you go first.  and while the bond doesn't work, 4 damage before they can even play is nice especially with only needing 2 cards to pull it off

Good thing you have to pay mana, that card would be so broken.

the card read, "as an additional cost, pay X life" would it be the SAME x from the mana cost, or is it its own X, wouldnt it be in a gray circle if it was a mana cost X?


nm, just re-read the card.

Bonds of Agony is only really good with multiplayer.
