    I had a great time, it’s my first ever prerelease event. I went with Selesnya on this one and did okay. I ended up splashing in a little black to justify playing a trophy. There were two cards that gave me fits (surprisingly), Disinformation Campaign and March of the Multitudes. I had a couple game breaker cards waiting for the right time and ended up getting them discarded by DC. And MOTM was a bomb on a few of my rounds with a combo of the unicorn with the +1/+1 anthem effect when attacking. And I will say this, surveil is a legit mechanic, simply awesome. All in all, super fun!

    Im going to say it. The card is bad.

    Its slow, its costly, you have to jump through hoops to really make it be anything more than delayed and fragile removal.

    You'll never be able to get someone to lose on its conditions. As a commander its tax and slowness make it impractical to swing with repeatedly. In standard its slow and crap without running several in the deck. Its unplayable anywhere but the kitchen table. Even there itll be a card someone loves and tries to make work every single time, but never admits it doesnt.

    A+ disappointment.


    I don't think that's the main concept of this card and how it works in a game. This is a crazy "must deal with" type card that will force the opponent to have answers for. All the while you work in another crazy combo/strategy to beat them. A fantastic "take your eye off the ball" strategy card, I like it.
