The discarding helps with the graveyard-based themes of blue/black, and the counters help overlap with the brokers’ mechanic, making this a nice bridge to other colors as well as being a strong mechanic in its own right. Looting is always a great mechanic since it gives you a way to smooth out your draws and find more of what you need each turn. And if you discarded a nonland card this way the creature gets a +1/+1 counter. The Obscura are our Esper ( ) crime family and their mechanic is called “connive.” If a creature connives, you draw a card and then discard a card. If you can effectively manage this downside then this mechanic should make it so that your creatures are extremely difficult for your opponents to kill without losing multiple cards. But it does have a downside in that any source of damage will remove it, so a 5/5 that’s chump blocked by a 1/1 loses its shield and leaves it vulnerable. This is a very straightforward mechanic that add a lot of value to a creature. The Brokers also have a broader focus on counters. These are counters that act very similarly to the regenerate mechanic, where if a permanent has a shield counter, the next time it would take damage or be destroyed you remove the shield counter to prevent that damage or destruction. Their unique mechanic is shield counters. The Brokers are the Bant ( ) crime family. Set Mechanics The Brokers and Shield Counters Cards like March of Burgeoning Life.īefore we get into the cards, let’s talk a little bit about the set’s mechanics and the color combinations you can expect to draft. Virtually unplayable in every scenario and you should never put these in your deck. Cards like Reckoner Shakedown or Planar Incision. They should be kept in the sideboard and might be useful in specific situations. 1-2: These cards are generally pretty bad and ideally you won’t play any of them.Cards like Jukai Preserver or Skyswimmer Koi.

Most commons and uncommons end up in this range and most of your Limited decks are made up mostly of these. Cards like Kappa Tech-Wrecker or The Fall of Lord Konda. These are typically the best uncommons that really drive you towards playing a particular color, like build-arounds and good removal. Cards like Kyodai, Soul of Kamigawa or Behold the Unspeakable.

8-9: Extremely good cards, usually game-winning bombs and the most efficient removal spells, though not quite good enough to be a 10/10.

Cards like Ao, the Dawn Sky or Junji, the Midnight Sky. 10s make a meaningful impact on any game regardless of when you play them and are extremely tough to beat.

I’ll underscore the review for each card with a rating out of 10.
