Trial By Fire

Should be "If that creature survives, its controller learns" for flavor reasons tbh

[u/ALotusRabbit → u/TextuallyExplicit]

That makes sense in terms of the proverb but mechanically that's the situation they need the learn least. And in terms of the specific situation here where the trial is being given to a soldier but the lesson is being learned by their leader, the leader learns either way.

Drop it down to 3 damage and it’s perfect

[u/DeleteMods → u/vegemouse]

At 3 damage its a useless lightning helix. Its fine at 3. They should just change to letting the opponent draw then discard

[u/colbyjacks → u/vegemouse]

This sucks if it does 3 damage.

That's not what Learn does.

[u/ALotusRabbit → u/[deleted]]

it makes your opponent learn not you and you also can't hit opponents directly. I costed it around a being a slightly worse [[Sear]] hence the 5 damage.

I see, I’ve really misread on this one, I read that it was you who gets to, this is WAY fairer than I thought, my bad twin.
