Audacity
Wizards of the Coast has provided us with another exclusiveMagic Arenacard (that’s also coming to paperMagicof course): Audacity. It’s set to debut in theThe Brothers’ War set, which is out on November 11 via pre-release, November 15 inArena, and November 18 in paperMagic.
As a reminder, here’s a quick rundown of the lore for the release, to set the mood:
“Through nefarious means, the evil Phyrexians establish a foothold on Dominaria. They secretly transform ordinary citizens into deadly sleeper agents who go about their lives, ignorant of their new purpose. As word of the Phyrexian incursion spreads, the people of Dominaria attempt to band together as the sleeper agents threaten to tear them apart.”
The Brothers’ War is going to have all sorts of lore implications, and follows the Dominaria United set that arrived back in September. From here, we’ll be delving even further into the story of the Phyrexians, with Phyrexia: All Will Be One, slated for January 2023. It’s a pretty busy block forMagic, as the Dominaria storyline/setting once again is hitting it pretty big with the community.
Destructoid’s exclusiveMagic Arenacard: Audacity
As for the card itself,it’s an enchantment aura called Audacitythat costs G, enchants a creature, and provides a +2/+0 and trample bonus. When Audacity is put into the graveyard from the battlefield, you draw a card.
This is the sort of thing you wouldn’t mind drawing in mostMagicformats, limited included. A low cost always ensures that it’s generally playable (or very playable), and although it’s not a flash/instant-speed enchantment. Plus, the artfrom Rudy Siswantois killer and wonderfully showcases the direct conflict from the lore.
As usual, I can’t wait to pick one up and put it in a toploader!
