Adaptive Training Post — Forge Your Spellcraft
The Adaptive Training Post is a practical tool for any spell‑heavy deck. Adaptive Training Post rewards repeated casting by accumulating charge counters each time you cast an instant or sorcery until it holds three. Once stocked, removing those counters lets you copy the next instant or sorcery you cast that turn and choose new targets for the copy. This makes the card an efficient engine for value and interaction in blue shells and blue splash decks that aim to chain spells and tempo plays.
From a Commander perspective, Adaptive Training Post pairs well with cheap cantrips and impactful instants. It scales into the late game without demanding attention and supports both single target disruption and mass damage depending on how you route the copy. The card’s utility fits Tarkir’s theme of iterative mastery; use it to turn a tight sequence of spells into a decisive swing. Add it to a list when you want repeatable copies and a low footprint on your mana curve.
