Magic Trick

Magic Trick is a rare mage spell card, from the Rise of Shadows set.

Strategy
A solid searching card that can pull small removal like Frostbolt or Ray of Frost, or find any Secret. Because of the limited range of cards that can be pulled, Magic Trick fits better in a Tempo Mage deck than it does a Control Mage.

The card works well with Mana Cyclone and Archmage Antonidas to produce a cheap spell and two cards for their effects. It also becomes very strong in combination with Sorcerer's Apprentice, letting you search for 0 mana.

Lore
The artwork depicts a trick where a person pretends to pull off their own finger by hiding half of it behind their hand and using a finger from their other hand as the removed finger. Trying to pass off a very simple illusion as a magic trick is quite in character for a goblin.
