About Tribal Flames

Tribal Flames, Sorcery, designed by Tony Szczudlo first released in May, 2020 in the set Invasion and was printed exactly in 6 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.35.

A deck that runs a variety of basic land types would benefit most from using Tribal Flames, such as a five-color deck with all basic land types represented. However, there are better cards for direct damage in Magic: The Gathering, such as Lightning Bolt or Lightning Helix, which offer more consistent and efficient damage output. While Tribal Flames can be a fun inclusion in a domain-themed deck, it may not see competitive play due to its reliance on land types and the availability of stronger alternatives.

Rules

03/19/21

Domain abilities count the number of basic land types among lands you control, not how many lands you control or how many of any type.

02/01/09

A number of nonbasic lands have basic land types. Domain abilities don’t count the number of lands you control — they count the number of basic land types among lands you control, even if that means checking the same land twice. For example, if you control a Tundra, an Overgrown Tomb, and a Madblind Mountain, you’ll have a Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, and Forest among the lands you control. Your domain abilities will be maxed out.

02/01/09

To determine the number of basic land types among lands you control, look at the lands you have on the battlefield and ask yourself whether the subtypes Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, and Forest appear within that group. The number of times you say yes (topping out at five) tells you how powerful your domain abilities will be.
