Thorn of Amethyst Artifact Card in Magic the Gathering

Hi, I'm Mike Lopez with Expert Village and, today, we'll be discussing artifacts from Magic the Gathering. Artifacts is one of the blocks that is actually colorless, do not count as a color and are not represented on the actual face of the colors for Magic the Gathering. But, all artifacts are meant to work with each individual colors and themselves. And, now, I'm going to discuss Thorn of Amethyst. Thorn of Amethyst is from the artifact color. Which is not actually a color, it's just an artifact, black. It's actually colorless. And all mana paid for artifacts is usually going to be colorless. We have an artifact. It's from the low end block. It is a rare, as you see here. Thorn of Amethyst costs you two to put out and what this does is, that this artifact stays in play until it is either destroyed or dealt with. And, non-creature spells cost one more to play. So, that's any spell that is not a creature spell, including, this artifact itself is not a creature spell. So, if you were going to play this again, it would cost you three to play instead of two. But, this is very, very important if you're playing heavy spell, IE domination decks, discards decks, direct damage decks, anything that's not creature oriented will have a hard time with this artifact because it costs one more, per spell, that they're going to play. Which means, they have to play everything later in the game than they normally would have.
