Life Force

[CKaz]

Mullyn keeps using this and she keeps halving all my costs which makes me wish I could thank her as I knock her out on her favorite map..

I don't own it though, neither does my Collector user or my wife, and I have to think it must have SOME downside as she always casts it on her opponents. But I'm never able to read that fast as she casts it and of course I can't go through the other card description areas as I dont own it..

someone fill me in on how Life Force is supposed to hurt?
think it lasts 3 rounds, it's got a white pikachu rodent type on the front in a forest, and puts a little goofy looking creature in a status bubble above your cepter

thanks

Ah ok can't cast spells..
Well I suppose if you were a big spell decker..

Still I think the + outweighs the minus a bit of the time even then, can't really imagine using this card..

If you want to stop Rust/etc you probably want barrier type spells not 'have a bonus for 3 rounds while you can't fire'

Anyone ever either really put out by this spell or gain by its use? I'm grasping for some effective scenario..

I suppose stopping an enemy from a late game telekinses (ie 3 rounds to go/making your final lap to castle) which could be devestating involving max lands/etc..

stop any last ditch telekinses/drain/slowing efforts (or them speeding up to make it to the castle first..)

on the flip side has anyone ever cast it on themselves/allies? 1/2 costs creatures and items for 3 rounds can really add up on a smackdown deck

I think Life Force is for 5 rounds--but yeah whenever Mullyn casts it on me I'm like "Thanks!". I do include it in some of my creature heavy decks that are of a 25 15 10 blend. About the only useful thing I see is that you are completely screwed out of casting any magic spells- you can't Dispel it or replace it with a Holy Word or Fairy Light, there is no way you can cast any spells for 5 rounds unless you have a partner, or someone gets that kind of effect from a shrine.

yeah, i've been playing for over a year and i JUST got a Life Force spell. Goes well in a support deck.
