Effortless Master TDM 0181 · uncommon

Take it when

Use cheap spells and cost reductions to cast two useful spells per turn, earning extra damage and a large Master. White or green are optional clan pivots.

What to take next

Cast Unending Whisper first, then Effortless Master. Master counts its own casting and enters with two counters as the second spell.

Wrong pick

Master needs to be the second spell or later, not two spells after two earlier spells. Do not waste removal simply to meet a count.

Mana & splash

Keep the colored sources needed for early spells. A synergy payoff does not automatically justify a splash.

Interactions from the card text, not a ranking.

Devoted DuelistHaste pressures early and the second-spell trigger adds damage later. Two useful spells are better than wasting interaction solely for one point.

Unending WhisperA one-mana replacement spell helps flurry. Later harmonize reuses it, with a large creature reducing only the five generic mana.

Focus the MindCast another useful spell first to reduce this to three mana. Drawing three and discarding one can set up renew or harmonize without abandoning your current board.

One-pick Draft

Casting it second makes it enter with two counters, turning vigilance and menace into a much larger threat. Its own casting counts, so only one earlier spell is required.

Sealed vs Draft
