It was tough to pick between this and the all-black SIR that remains Black Bolt's priciest card, but both are solid choices over the Red Victini
To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you're paying (such as a flashback cost), add any cost increases (such as kicker costs), then apply any cost reductions (such as that of Danitha Capashen's last ability)
Instead, Fling lets you sacrifice a creature to deal its power as damage to any target
If you have to discard a card, you can always send cards with renew straight to the graveyard with the intention of activating their renew ability
gaining life isnt particularly hard, its just a low-impact game action
