If I sac a Blazing Torch equipped to a Vedalken Heretic to deal damage to a player will I draw a card?

Asked by djdauenbaugh 13 years ago

Will Vedalken Heretic equipped with Blazing Torch tap and sac'ing allow me to draw a card? Want a 2nd opinion. I think Blazing Torch does the dmg, not Vedalken Heretic so the answer is no, I can't draw a card. Also looking for inspiration into better equipment for Vedalken Heretic or whether I should go another route. Thanks to all who comment.

Yes, you are correct Blazing Torch deals the damage not Vedalken Heretic so you would not draw from it.

You could do Ophidian Eye , or you could try Cunning Sparkmage + Basilisk Collar for removal.

no you will not draw a card.

blazing torch reads: " tap, sacrifice blazing torch: blazing torch deals 2 damage to target creature or player."

so yes blazing torch deals damage not the heretic.

Viridian Longbow , Hermetic Study , Power of Fire and Psionic Gift are what you need. Quicksilver Dagger if you're really feeling dangerous.

I am always ninja'd cos I always go find the section in the official rulebook that applies to the situation and quote it. The problem is by the time I find it, somebody else did a much simplified answer. It makes me grrrrr!

Anyway, do you want suggestions that are purely Green/Blue?
