About Staff of the Flame Magus

Staff of the Flame Magus, Artifact, designed by Daniel Ljunggren first released in Jul, 2013 in the set Magic 2014 and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 55.75.

A deck that focuses on red spells and has a good number of Mountains in play would benefit from using the Staff of the Flame Magus card, especially in a burn or aggro deck where gaining life can be crucial for survival. While the Staff provides a steady source of life gain, there are potentially better cards like Fire Diamond or Ruby Medallion that offer more immediate mana advantage or other benefits. However, in the right deck, the Staff of the Flame Magus could definitely see play as a way to gain incremental advantage over time.

Rules

07/18/14

Each of these artifacts cares about any land with the appropriate basic land type. For example, Staff of the Sun Magus’s ability triggers when any land with the subtype Plains enters the battlefield under your control, not just lands named Plains.

07/18/14

If you cast a copy of a card that’s a certain color, the appropriate Staff’s ability will trigger. However, if you copy a spell on the stack without casting that copy, it will not.
