Rolling Temblor

Description

Rolling Temblor is an Uncommon red Sorcery card from the Magic: The Gathering Commander 2019 set, identified by card number 151 and set code C19. Designed by Cliff Childs, this card provides a reliable method for clearing the battlefield of ground-based threats. The card features a mana cost of {2}{R} with a mana value of 3, making it a cost-effective inclusion in red-based decks seeking immediate board interaction. The primary effect of Rolling Temblor is straightforward: it deals 2 damage to each creature without flying. This ability makes it particularly useful against decks that rely heavily on ground troops, allowing players to thin out the opposition's army efficiently. The card’s single red color identity ensures it fits seamlessly into any red mana base, whether played in a Commander game or other formats that permit it. A distinctive feature of Rolling Temblor is its Flashback ability, costing {4}{R}{R}. This allows the card to be cast from the graveyard, providing a second chance to remove threats even after the initial spell has been resolved. This mechanic adds strategic depth, as players can plan for potential graveyard interactions or use the card as a reactive tool when facing overwhelming ground forces. The flavor text, "When demons open a path to your front door, it's time to move," hints at the card's thematic connection to demon-related strategies, though it functions effectively in any red sorcery-heavy deck. Collectors and players alike appreciate Rolling Temblor for its simplicity and versatility. Its Uncommon rarity in the Commander 2019 set makes it accessible, while its gameplay utility ensures it remains a relevant choice for those looking to enhance their red spells. The card’s design and mechanics exemplify the thoughtful balance that Magic: The Gathering is known for, offering both immediate impact and long-term strategic possibilities.
