About Spiny Starfish

Spiny Starfish, Creature — starfish, designed by Alan Rabinowitz first released in Jun, 1996 in the set Alliances and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 29.23.

A deck that focuses on control and evasion to protect and regenerate Spiny Starfish multiple times within a turn would benefit from this card, especially if the deck has synergies with token generation. While the card offers a potentially powerful token generation effect, it may be too slow or fragile for competitive play compared to more efficient options like Spellskite or Thassa's Oracle. It could be a fun addition to casual or thematic decks, but careful consideration of its impact and support within the deck would be necessary for optimal performance.

Rules

10/01/09

Spiny Starfish’s first ability creates a regeneration shield for it. Spiny Starfish’s second ability checks whether it _used_ any regeneration shields that turn, not whether any regeneration shields were created for it.

10/01/09

The second ability has an “intervening ‘if’ clause,” so it won’t trigger at all unless Spiny Starfish had regenerated that turn. However, the number of tokens that are created isn’t determined until the ability resolves (in case it regenerates again before that time).
