About Stronghold Furnace

Stronghold Furnace, Plane — rath, designed by Jim Pavelec 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 ₱ 16.64.

A deck focused on dealing direct damage or triggering chaos effects would benefit from including Stronghold Furnace, as it amplifies damage dealt by sources and provides a consistent damage output. While Stronghold Furnace can be a fun and thematic inclusion, more competitive decks may opt for cards like Furnace of Rath or Dictate of the Twin Gods, which offer similar effects with less risk of backfiring. Ultimately, the decision to include Stronghold Furnace would depend on the specific strategy and power level of the deck it's being considered for.

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 or ability divides damage among multiple recipients (such as Pyrotechnics does), the damage is divided before Stronghold Furnace’s effect doubles it. The same is true for combat damage.

10/01/09

Stronghold Furnace’s first ability interacts with all damage, not just combat damage. Notably, it doubles the damage from its own chaos ability.

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.
