Analyzing Electrolyze and Cunning Strike

New • 30 Apr 2022 • Asked by darthvedik • 37 Comments

Hey MaRo,Why are Electrolyze and Cunning Strike Blue? Neither has an ability that is uniquely Blue, as Red gets cantrips. Are they set filler cards for multicolored slots?

What blue is adding to both those cards is reducing the mana cost as blue gets card drawing much more efficiently than red.
