Alternative card(s) for Keepsake Gorgon
Standard forum
Posted on Jan. 25, 2014, 5:55 p.m. by yumyum36
I currently use Keepsake Gorgon in a Black-Blue standard deck. I would really like a card that could use its ability for less mana cost(It costs 7). I want to be able to use this ability fairly regularly not just once, and I'm looking for 1-3 cards that would replicate this.
Is there any card/combo in the Black-Blue color spectrum that would allow me to destroy a creature(I don't mind about targeting).
Also if I used Zephyr Charge 's ability on Agent of the Fates would Heroic activate?
This would be for a standard deck.
The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is Elite Arcanist and a kill spell.
Zephyr Charge 's ability won't activate heroic because it's an ability and heroic requires a spell. A spell is essentially a card (technically it's only a spell when it's on the stack).

Well black is full of killspells.... I don't understand the problem here. Doom Blade , Devour Flesh , Ultimate Price , Hero's Downfall ? Am I missing something?

To add to ChiefBell BNG is bringing Drown in Sorrow and Bile Blight as well.
Currently in standard as well is Rapid Hybridization .

For the rules question (rules questions should be asked in the Q&A, btw), no. Heroic's rules text specifically says "Whenever you cast a spell that targets ~." Abilities are not spells.
