Train the Storm
Adaptive Training Post (Extended Art) is a compact artifact that converts repeated cantrips into copy fuel. It sits quietly on the battlefield, accruing charge counters each time you cast an instant or sorcery until it reaches three. With a single payment you transform those counters into a copied spell on your next cast, offering repeatable value for decks that chain cheap spells. The extended art showcases the Tarkir water garden motif and makes this Near Mint English print a tidy visual and tactical upgrade for control and spellslinger lists.
The card rewards a focused strategy rather than one shot plays. Adaptive Training Post fits naturally into storm builds, Izzet spell combo shells, and any blue deck that reliably casts multiple instants or sorceries per turn. Practical play reads are simple. Accumulate counters, then remove three to copy a high impact spell and choose new targets for the copy. Add this to your toolbox and tune your list around consistent spell cadence to maximize every charge.
