Lux Cannon


"Lux Cannon" is a card from the "Scars of Mirrodin" set.  This card is just plain incredible, for 4 mana you get an artifact that for 3 charge counters destroys a target permanent, why not!!!  Combine this card with the ability of proliferate and you have one heck of a combo.  The best part about this card is the fact that you don't have to sacrifice "Lux Cannon" after destroying a target permanent, it is a continuous source of destruction.  Not to mention with all the artifact cards out there that help untap other artifacts or increase the number of charge counters on an artifact there are many ways to make "Lux Cannon" fast and deadly.    

Great for artifact decks and proliferate decks.  

Good:
-4 colorless mana to put on the battlefield making it great for any deck
-Ability to destroy target permanents 
-Can create its own charge counters 

Bad:
-A little slow to build up to 3 counters, but there are so many other cards out there that can get the counter number up to max in a turn its crazy.  Proliferate is an amazing ally to all cards with counters.

Scully Rating: 9 out of 10
