Nice to Sea You!

Actually, isn't it more of a lake than a sea?

The Last Sea (4th Edition, 38/500) has only one power, and no movement restriction of any kind. Still, its ability is very primo. Once this baby has settled into your formation - ideally not at the front - you can voluntarily raze it to cast a champion-less Spell Turning. You can redirect that Raze, Creeping Doom, or Death Spell at any target you choose.

Now, razing your own realm is on the list of "last resort" actions, to be sure. The aim of Spellfire is to raze your opponent's lands, not yours. However, if you're short of spellcasters or out of counters, this ability can really save your bacon. 

I should note that the spell you turn doesn't have to be aimed at you. In a multiplayer game (the best kind!) you can use The Last Sea to mess with opponents spells even when they are targeting other enemies. Great for stopping the person in the lead from getting a spoils, for example.

While The Last Sea is not the monster card that, say, Cormyr is, it's still good enough to be firmly ensconced in my best deck. If I had more of them, I would probably put one in just about every deck I own. Anyone know where I can buy a few cheap?!

Tomorrow: Are you wearing protection?
