About Sundering Stroke

Sundering Stroke, Sorcery, designed by Stanton Feng first released in Sep, 2019 in the set ELD Collector Boosters and was printed exactly in 5 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 22.55.

A deck that focuses on ramping up red mana quickly, such as a mono-red or red-green deck, would benefit from including Sundering Stroke as a finisher. However, in most cases, other cards like Banefire or Expansion // Explosion might be more versatile and efficient options for dealing direct damage. While Sundering Stroke can be powerful in the right circumstances, its high mana cost and specific requirements make it less likely to see consistent play in competitive decks.

Rules

10/04/19

If some of the targets become illegal for Sundering Stroke, the original division of damage still applies, but the damage that would have been dealt to illegal targets isn’t dealt at all.

10/04/19

Sundering Stroke checks what mana was actually spent to cast it. If an effect allows you to spend mana “as though it were mana” of any color or type, that will allow you to spend mana you couldn’t otherwise spend, but it won’t change what mana you spent to cast the spell.

10/04/19

You must divide the damage as you announce Sundering Stroke, even if you intend to pay seven red mana to cast it. If you copy Sundering Stroke, no mana was spent to cast the copy at all, so the copy will deal the damage as divided.
