Summoning Portal

Summoning Portal is a common warlock minion card, inducted into the Legacy set, formerly from the Classic set.

Strategy
The Summoning Portal is most useful in the mid game when your mana pool is still too low to put out bigger minions but sufficiently large to be able to get the Summoning Portal into play, thus effectively reducing the cost of all minions by 2. It can also be used during the late-game to get multiple big minions out.

Summoning Portal can be pulled directly with Meat Wagon while also indirectly protecting it. When combined with Echo minions or Glinda Crowskin, its effect becomes extremely powerful.

Lore
The Summoning Portal is used by warlocks as part of the Ritual of Summoning.
