About Glimmervoid Basin

Glimmervoid Basin, Plane — mirrodin, designed by Lars Grant-West first released in Sep, 2009 in the set Planechase Planes and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of $ 0.49.

A spellslinger deck focused on casting instant and sorcery spells with single targets would benefit greatly from Glimmervoid Basin in Magic: the Gathering. The card has the potential to create powerful synergies and multiple copies of spells, leading to increased value and potentially overwhelming the opponent. However, there are better cards like Thousand-Year Storm that provide a more consistent and powerful effect for spell copying. Glimmervoid Basin could see play in a more casual or theme-focused deck, but competitive players may prefer other options with higher impact.

Rules

10/01/09

A plane card is treated as if its text box included “When you roll , put this card on the bottom of its owner’s planar deck face down, then move the top card of your planar deck off that planar deck and turn it face up.” This is called the “planeswalking ability.”

10/01/09

If a spell targets multiple things, it won’t cause Glimmervoid Basin’s first ability to trigger, even if all but one of those targets has become illegal.

10/01/09

If the spell that’s copied is modal (that is, it says “Choose one —” or the like), the copy will have the same mode. Its controller can’t choose a different one.

10/01/09

Other than choices involving modes or additional costs, the copies are created based on what they could target if the spell were cast anew. For example, if a player casts Naturalize (“Destroy target artifact or enchantment”) targeting an artifact, Glimmervoid Basin’s first ability will copy it for each artifact and enchantment it could target (and each copy will target a different one of those), not just for each artifact it could target.

10/01/09

The controller of a copy can’t choose to pay any additional costs for the copy. However, effects based on any additional costs that were paid for the original spell are copied as though those same costs were paid for the copy too.

10/01/09

The controller of a face-up plane card is the player designated as the “planar controller.” Normally, the planar controller is whoever the active player is. However, if the current planar controller would leave the game, instead the next player in turn order that wouldn’t leave the game becomes the planar controller, then the old planar controller leaves the game. The new planar controller retains that designation until they leave the game or a different player becomes the active player, whichever comes first.

10/01/09

The controller of the spell that caused Glimmervoid Basin’s first ability to trigger also controls all the copies. That player chooses the order the copies are put onto the stack. The original spell will be on the stack beneath those copies and resolves last.
