Magma Opus — Split the Board and Find Value
Magma Opus is a compact engine in instant speed that rewards timing and board reading. Magma Opus deals 4 damage divided as you choose among any number of targets and taps two target permanents, so it answers creatures and locks utility lands or artifacts while still creating a 4 4 blue and red Elemental token and letting you draw two cards. The card reads like three plays in one package and fits cleanly into control and midrange builds where tempo and resource advantage matter.
As a Mythic from Commander Tarkir Dragonstorm this Magma Opus nods to the set theme by turning a single spell into battlefield presence and card advantage. Experienced players will value the modal timing and the discard line that converts the spell into a Treasure token, preserving mana flexibility in long games. If you run blue red in Commander this card is a reliable late game reset and a versatile answer during a tight turn.
