Petravark (Torment) - Community - Gatherer

There are no comments yet for this card.

This could be brutal with Landfall triggers if you found some way to Flicker it a bunch of times. This is where an infinite mana combo could come in handy, although it also isn't really the most efficient and sure way of killing someone with an infinite combo; you could just use a Fireball.

Anyway, I like the way all the Nightmares they printed during Torment and Judgement and around then have something that triggers when they come into play that then undoes itself when the leave play. It's like a real nightmare; as soon as you wake up, the nightmare and all its ramifications are gone.

EDIT: @wontongsoup13 - please read my post carefully. I didn't say "bounce it with o-ring" I said "a la Oblivion Ring" ("a la" is a latin phrase for those among you who don't have a book learnin' edumafication that means "like," "similar to," or "reminiscent of"). In other words, I was saying "this card's mechanism is similar to o-ring's and thus provides a similar opportunity." Nowhere do I say "bounce it with o-ring." Geez!

****************************************

Amping this up for modern creature power it should have been 2/4 (take it out of bolt range) and exiled two lands on its ETB trigger. I'd even pay

for this if they gave it that.

Interestingly enough, you can cheat this effect a la Oblivion Ring by bouncing the Petravark in response to its ETB trigger. The bounce resolves first and since no land has yet been exiled, the LTB trigger fizzles, then the ETB land is exiled. Check the rulings on O-ring. Totally legal even if it feels so... (see all)

One of my dogs bit this card. They ignored every other one. It is unscarred.
The animals have chosen Petravark therefore it is great.

You can't bounce it with O-ring in response to the trigger because O-ring is an enchantment. You can, however, use Path to Exile, Swords to Plowshares, or any other instant removal for that effect to work. But I'd rather use Realm razer instead if I wanted some land sweeping effect
