About Hidetsugu's Second Rite

Hidetsugu's Second Rite would be most beneficial in a burn deck that focuses on quickly reducing the opponent's life total. While the card has a powerful effect if conditions are met, it may be situational and risky to rely on. Other cards like Lightning Bolt or Lava Spike offer more consistent and versatile damage output, making them better choices for most decks, but Hidetsugu's Second Rite could be a fun and surprising inclusion in the right build for a more casual or thematic playstyle.

Rules

06/01/05

Since the player’s life total is checked only as the spell resolves, you can cast Hidetsugu’s Second Rite targeting any player, regardless of life total. If the player isn’t at 10 life as Hidetsugu’s Second Rite begins resolving, it does nothing and finishes resolving. Note that since having 10 life is not a targeting restriction, the spell won’t actually be countered for having an illegal target; it just won’t do anything.
