Legendary Creature — Kirin Spirit

Whenever you cast a Spirit or Arcane spell, you may gain control of target creature with that spell’s mana value until end of turn.

Its fiery visitation burns away the fog of war and dissipates the ties of loyalty.

Notes and Rules Information for Skyfire Kirin:
  • If the Spirit or Arcane spell has {X} in the mana cost, then you use the value of {X} on the stack. For example, Shining Shoal costs {X}{W}{W}. If you choose X = 2, then Shining Shoal's mana value is 4. Shining Shoal also has an ability that says "You may exile a white card with mana value X from your hand rather than pay Shining Shoal's mana cost"; if you choose to pay the alternative cost and exile a card with mana value 2, then X is 2 while Shining Shoal is on the stack and its mana value is 4.
