August is poised to keep the summer hot with a great Friday Night Magic (FNM) card ideal for Elder Dragon Highlander decks, Krosan Grip.  Foiled out and boasting alternate artwork, August's Krosan Grip is perfect for dealing with opposing artifacts and enchantments, and features the split second ability.

Basically, while other spells can be responded to, split second will ensure that your spell goes off and has the final word - Once Krosan Grip hits the stack, there's no way to counter it or mess around with the board until the spell has resolved. When Krosan Grip sets out to destroy something, it gets the job done every time.

Krosan Grip is a staple in many Elder Dragon Highlander decks featuring green, and should be more sought after than July's Anathemancer, June's Elvish Visionary, and May's Cloudpost.

Head out for some casual competitive Magic: The Gathering for a chance to play with the new 2011 Core Set at your local Friday Night Magic.  Want to find a FNM event near you? Check out the store locator.
