About Furnace of Rath

Furnace of Rath, Enchantment, designed by John Matson first released in Oct, 1997 in the set Tempest and was printed exactly in 10 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of A$ 14.62. It's a key card in 3 combos.

A red aggressive deck with a focus on dealing direct damage would benefit from including Furnace of Rath, as it effectively doubles the damage output of all burn spells and creature abilities. However, for more competitive play, cards like Dictate of the Twin Gods or Gisela, Blade of Goldnight may be better options due to their flexibility and higher impact on the game. Furnace of Rath could still see play in casual or themed decks looking to maximize damage output.

Rules

08/01/05

If multiple effects modify how damage will be dealt, the player who would be dealt damage or the controller of the creature that would be dealt damage chooses the order to apply the effects. For example, Mending Hands says, “Prevent the next 4 damage that would be dealt to any target this turn.” Suppose a spell would deal 5 damage to a player who has cast Mending Hands targeting themselves. That player can either (a) prevent 4 damage first and then let Furnace of Rath double the remaining 1 damage, taking 2 damage, or (b) double the damage to 10 and then prevent 4 damage, taking 6 damage.

10/04/04

If a spell or ability damages multiple things, divide up the damage before applying this effect. This means you can’t normally end up with an odd amount of damage on something.

10/04/04

If you have two of these on the battlefield, the damage is multiplied by 4.
