Storm Strike

Description

Storm Strike, card number 119 from the 2019 Ravnica Allegiance set, serves as a versatile red instant in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Designed by Dmitry Burmak, this common card provides a straightforward yet effective combat trick for players seeking to swing in for lethal damage or defend their board presence. The card’s one-mana cost makes it an accessible inclusion in numerous red-based decks, offering immediate impact without straining the mana curve. The card’s effect targets a creature to grant it +1/+0 power and first strike until the end of the turn, allowing it to deal damage before blockers can respond. Additionally, the scry 1 effect lets players look at the top card of their library, place it on the bottom, and draw a card if they choose. This combination of combat enhancement and card filtering makes Storm Strike a reliable tool for maintaining tempo and card advantage. The flavor text, "My shout is thunder and my fist is lightning!", captures the aggressive spirit of the card's design. Collectors and players appreciate the clean design and utility of cards like Storm Strike within the Ravnica Allegiance block. Whether you are a seasoned Magic player or a new collector, Storm Strike represents a solid addition to any red deck or set collection.
