Bell the Second Spell
Highspire Bell-Ringer is a compact tempo piece from Tarkir Dragonstorm that rewards sequencing and careful stack management. Castable for {2}{U}, this 1/4 flying Djinn Monk survives ground chaff while setting up incremental cost savings. The printed ability reduces the cost of the second spell you cast each turn by {1}, which pairs neatly with cheap instants, cantrips, and activation-heavy decks where squeezing an extra play matters more than raw power. Experienced players will appreciate how the body trades reliably and how flying preserves that value across turns.
The card slots cleanly into blue tempo shells, spell-focused control builds, and limited archetypes that want progressive value rather than a single big swing. In draft or sealed the Bell-Ringer forces opponents to respect an aerial blocker that accelerates your mid game. Use it to curve into counterspells, flash plays, or to make a second removal or bounce spell cheaper and more accessible. Add a copy if your plan depends on incremental advantages and efficient sequencing.
