About The First Eruption

The First Eruption, Enchantment — saga, designed by Steven Belledin first released in Apr, 2018 in the set Dominaria Promos and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 8.91.

A red aggressive deck focused on dealing damage quickly would benefit from using The First Eruption as it provides early board control and additional mana ramp. However, there are potentially better cards such as Anger of the Gods or Pyroclasm for more immediate and impactful board wipes, making The First Eruption less likely to see play in competitive decks but still potentially fun in more casual or thematic red decks.

Rules

04/27/18

Each symbol on the left of a Saga’s text box represents a chapter ability. A chapter ability is a triggered ability that triggers when a lore counter that is put on the Saga causes the number of lore counters on the Saga to become equal to or greater than the ability’s chapter number. Chapter abilities are put onto the stack and may be responded to.

04/27/18

If counters are removed from a Saga, the appropriate chapter abilities will trigger again when the Saga receives lore counters. Removing lore counters won’t cause a previous chapter ability to trigger.

04/27/18

Once a chapter ability has triggered, the ability on the stack won’t be affected if the Saga gains or loses counters, or if it leaves the battlefield.

04/27/18

While resolving The First Eruption’s final chapter ability, you must sacrifice one Mountain if able. You can’t sacrifice multiple Mountains to deal more damage.
