Dual Casting

Description

Dual Casting is a rare Enchantment — Aura card from Magic: The Gathering's 2021 The List set, identified by the catalog number AVR-133. Designed by Johannes Voss, this card brings a unique mechanical twist to the game, allowing players to replicate their most powerful spells. As an Aura, it attaches to a creature, transforming that permanent into a catalyst for magical duplication. The card’s primary ability activates with a single red mana and by tapping the enchanted creature. When activated, it creates a copy of any instant or sorcery spell currently on the stack that you control. Crucially, the controller of the copy gets to choose new targets, offering tremendous flexibility in combat or strategy. This mechanic turns a single spell into a double threat, potentially overwhelming opponents or securing complex combos. The flavor text hints at a powerful surge of energy, noting that "Hours after the Helvault opened, his powers returned twice as strong as before," which perfectly complements the card’s doubling effect. The List is known for featuring cards that have appeared in various supplemental sets, making it a interesting addition to any library. Dual Casting stands out as a versatile tool for decks focused on instant and sorcery strategies. Its low mana cost of two makes it accessible early in the game, while its effect provides long-term value. For investors and hobbyists alike, cards from The List represent a specific era of Magic's supplemental releases, appealing to those who appreciate the game's rich history of mechanical innovation. Whether building a casual library or curating a collection of rare enchantments, Dual Casting offers both functional depth and aesthetic appeal.
