About Monastery Swiftspear

Monastery Swiftspear would be beneficial in a red aggressive deck that aims to quickly overwhelm opponents. Its Haste and Prowess abilities make it a strong early-game threat that can deal significant damage when combined with a high density of low-cost noncreature spells. In comparison, cards like Goblin Guide or Goblin Guide are more popular choices due to their consistent damage output and evasiveness. However, Monastery Swiftspear can still be a valuable inclusion in certain deck archetypes depending on the strategy and synergy with other cards in the deck.

Rules

09/20/14

Any spell you cast that doesn’t have the type creature will cause prowess to trigger. If a spell has multiple types, and one of those types is creature (such as an artifact creature), casting it won’t cause prowess to trigger. Playing a land also won’t cause prowess to trigger.

Once it triggers, prowess isn’t connected to the spell that caused it to trigger. If that spell is countered, prowess will still resolve.
