About Call of the Nightwing

Call of the Nightwing, Sorcery, designed by Adam Paquette first released in Feb, 2013 in the set Gatecrash and was printed exactly in 4 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 1.47.

This card, Call of the Nightwing, would benefit a control deck that focuses on generating value through creature tokens and spell recursion. While it offers a potential advantage with the Cipher ability for repeatable spell casting, there are more efficient options available such as cards like Mulldrifter or Bitterblossom which provide better value for their mana cost. Call of the Nightwing could see play in a more casual or thematic deck, but in competitive settings, there are stronger alternatives to consider.

Rules

04/15/13

If another player gains control of the creature, that player will control the triggered ability. That player will create a copy of the encoded card and may cast it.

04/15/13

If the creature leaves the battlefield, the exiled card will no longer be encoded on any creature. It will stay exiled.

04/15/13

If you choose not to cast the copy, or you can’t cast it (perhaps because there are no legal targets available), the copy will cease to exist the next time state-based actions are performed. You won’t get a chance to cast the copy at a later time.

04/15/13

The copy of the card with cipher is created in and cast from exile.

04/15/13

You choose the creature as the spell resolves. The cipher ability doesn’t target that creature, although the spell with cipher may target that creature (or a different creature) because of its other abilities.

01/24/13

You can exile Call of the Nightwing encoded on the Horror creature token it just created.
