Title: Does Glittering Sword Involve Music?
Post by: SignoftheStar on April 03, 2017, 05:06:18 PM: Both prints of Glittering Sword quote Deuteronomy 32:41, which comes from the Song of Moses.
Shouldn't Glittering Sword therefore involve music?

Waaaaayyyy back in the day I liked using Glittering Sword on King Sennacherib because of his First Strike, but these days it's fairly non-playable.

Even so, why would it even matter? Cards like Music Leader that interact with "musical" cards typically specify "good cards that involve music."

And that's what posting answers to ruling questions after a 16 hour work day will do for ya...

I dunno. With Musicians, their Chambers, and now a Reserve, I don't see how Glittering Sword couldn't be an option in the future.

I actually did use two of them in a T2 Throne deck (the one I played at the T2 Only this year in fact) as I wanted another battle winner besides Valley of Salt and Counsel of Abigail--especially since Valley can get tossed by Coliseum. 8)
