About Biting Rain

Biting Rain, Sorcery, designed by John Stanko first released in Apr, 2016 in the set Shadows over Innistrad and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of $ 0.08.

A deck focused on controlling the board and disrupting your opponent's creatures would benefit from including Biting Rain, especially in a Madness-themed deck where you can take advantage of its alternate casting cost. While Biting Rain is a decent board wipe option, there are more efficient cards like Damnation or Languish that offer better value for the mana cost in terms of mass creature removal. Biting Rain could see play in specific strategies or formats where its unique mechanics can be maximized, but in general, there are stronger options available for similar effects.

Rules

04/08/16

A spell cast for its madness cost is put onto the stack like any other spell. It can be countered, copied, and so on. As it resolves, it’s put onto the battlefield if it’s a permanent card or into its owner’s graveyard if it’s an instant or sorcery card.

04/08/16

Effects that cause you to pay more or less for a spell will cause you to pay that much more or less for its madness cost, too.

04/08/16

If you discard a card with madness to pay the cost of a spell or activated ability, that card’s madness trigger (and the spell that card becomes, if you choose to cast it) will resolve before the spell or ability the discard paid for.

04/08/16

The set of creatures affected by Biting Rain is determined as the spell resolves. Creatures that enter the battlefield later in the turn won’t get -2/-2.

04/08/16

When you cast a card with madness, it was still discarded. If it was discarded to pay a cost, that cost is still paid. Abilities that trigger when a card is discarded will still trigger.
