Card of the Day - Summon Blight

I have been bad about updating lately. This card is for Wednesday, March 11th, 2009

It is part of a cycle that was inspired by the Giant's Ire cycle in Lorwyn. I liked that they were tribal cantrips, but I kept going on about how much better (not necessarily more powerful) they would have been if you always got to draw a card and only got the effect if you controlled a permanent of the right creature type. Oddly enough, I started this cycle with a white card. It gains you life, though, so it's not too odd.

All cards in the cycle have "Summon" in their card name, except this one.
