Creatures that have a cool ability that triggers when they enter the battlefield (ETB) can be found as far back in Magic: The Gathering s (MTG) history as Alliances , but Visions , released in 1997, was the first MTG set to truly lean into this area of card design
Revealed by MTG Twitch streamer Alyska on Wednesday as part of the ongoing MTG Assassin's Creed spoiler season, Excalibur, Sword of Eden is an absolutely colossal 12-cost MTG equipment artifact card that packs a huge punch, giving your creature +10/+0 and the MTG Vigilance keyword
In Jumpstart all the hard work of making a viable deck is done for you
This deck is aimed to be as consistent as possible, running 12 total shift targets and eight total shifting Characters that work for those targets, making it more likely than not you will get the cards you need to get this deck up and running when you play
These spells are particularly good for any landfall effects, giving you a guaranteed trigger on your next turn as well
Blue also gives you all the Peregrine Drake style effects, which play nicely into green's strategy, And then Aphetto Alchemist can do two out of three, but he doesn't look particularly good
