Crow Storm

Description

Crow Storm is a distinct sorcery card from the 2017 Magic: The Gathering Unstable expansion, identified as card number 31 in the UST set. Designed by YW Tang, this uncommon card captures the whimsical and experimental spirit that defines the Unstable series. Unlike standard competitive sets, Unstable introduces lighthearted mechanics and artistic styles that appeal to both casual players and dedicated collectors of the game's diverse history. Mechanically, Crow Storm offers a unique interaction through the Storm keyword ability. When cast, the card copies itself for each other spell cast earlier in the turn. This creates a 1/2 blue Bird creature token with flying named Storm Crow for each copy. The exponential potential of this effect makes it a memorable piece for anyone studying the game's creative spell designs. The card’s mana cost of two generic mana and one blue mana makes it accessible, while its blue color identity aligns it with strategies focused on control and tempo. Collectors often seek out cards from Unstable for their cultural impact on the Magic community. The set broke traditional fourth-wall conventions, offering a refreshing departure from the serious fantasy themes of core expansions. Crow Storm stands out as a key example of this design philosophy, combining straightforward creature generation with a complex triggering condition. For those building a comprehensive collection of Magic: The Gathering cards, this release represents an important chapter in the franchise's evolution. It serves as a fun addition to any deck that enjoys high-variance, explosive turns.
