Distortion Strike? Noob, it's all about Artful Dodge, now.

If you copied a spell with Twin Cast or Reverbrate. Would the copies also count as casted spells? and make it even stronger?

Almost overpowered. Distortion Strike is overpowered. And both are in the same set. What was WotC thinking?

@blindthrall - Your right, even if the instant or sorcery is canceled it was still "cast", that fact really came in handy considering I run this guy and my friend plays UW.

Kiln Fiend works best with the extremely overlooked CABAL THERAPY. Honestly, Fiend without therapy is a dead fiend.

People are talking about Lava Dart, Fatal Frenzy and Distortion Strike - but remember - a dead fiend equals to zero damage. I made my Kiln Fiend deck UBR for this exact purpose, and also because of Dark Confidant.

Drafted RBU this past week and managed to get 3 of these guys and 2 distortion strikes as well as every removal in the set except vendetta. staggershock, last kiss, induce despair, forked bolt, flame slash, corpsehatch. won my first two games 2-1 then 2-0 my 3rd opponent too quick but unfortunately ended up losing 2-1 in the finals because I forgot to last kiss. If I would've last kiss'd I would've been at 1 and next turn I had a rebounding staggershock and distortion strike waiting for lethal. Oh well. RU and maybe the addition of B has to be the best limited strategy for RoE, if you get the cards of course.And he does serious work in my RDW for constructed as well 5/5. And to answer questions, he gets the +3 regarless of the spell being countered or not, just like kor firewalker, unfortunately -_-.

Standard's wee dragonauts. This dude can connect game winning damage to the face.

Kiln fiend + staggershock + distortion strike is 20 damage if left unmolested.

My first time with my Kiln Fiend deck:
turn 1: Mountain
turn 2: Island, Kiln Fiend
turn 3: Island, 2 Distortion Strike, 1 Kindled Fury
turn 4: Island, Distortionstrike comes back in
