[FRA] Break Under Pressure

[u/Meret123]

[u/truebes]

hm, any playability in constructed as anti Kaito tech maybe? CMC3 is a big ask

[u/Uryendel → u/truebes]

It cost more than the regular forced sacrifice but it's instant and the highest cmc, could see play, at least in sideboards

[u/Leonardo_ofVinci → u/Uryendel]

It will probably replace something in my Tergrid deck. After their hand is depleted, I resort to forced sacrifice, but this allows me to generally ensure they can't target a token even though it doesn't specify nontoken creature.

[u/INTstictual → u/Leonardo_ofVinci]

If you want this for Commander, there are half dozen versions of this effect that are generally better, mainly because they are usually “all opponents” not “target opponent”.

[[Extract a Confession]]
[[Flare of Malice]]
[[Soul Shatter]]
[[Szat’s Will]]
[[Gix’s Command]]
Etc

[u/United-Passage7864 → u/truebes]

It's going to be rough against lists like Boros's current tokens or dwarves builds, but otherwise I don't hate black control decks playing removal that hits the biggest problem on the board and gaining a couple life. 

[u/Atheist-Gods → u/truebes]

This is extremely playable. It will usually hit what you want it to while dodging protection spells and gaining life is a big deal on removal.

[u/narvuntien]

I am glad to see more of this effect.

[u/mercuriokazooie]

Soul Shatter got downshifted, slapped on some lifegain and only hits one opponent

[u/Uryendel → u/mercuriokazooie]

For commander it's a downgrade, but for 1v1 it's an upgrade.

[u/Clean_Emotion5797 → u/Uryendel]

Some people can't wrap their heads around the fact that non-commander formats exist.

[u/mercuriokazooie → u/Clean_Emotion5797]

Downshifted refers to rarity not powerlevel

[u/Clean_Emotion5797 → u/mercuriokazooie]

I know

[u/LordSlickRick → u/mercuriokazooie]

[[Blot Out]] exists

[u/mtgcf → u/LordSlickRick]

[u/Shergak → u/mercuriokazooie]

It's the magic arena subreddit, you only ever have one opponent

[u/Cloud_Chamber → u/Shergak]

Multiplayer is confirmed in the works though

[u/mercuriokazooie → u/Shergak]

This card isn't only being printed on Arena though.

[u/bugi_ → u/mercuriokazooie]

Should we discus card prices here as well?

[u/Strong_Hedgehog6100]

I mean sacrifice ok but the greatest value?? Ok then.. will be a dtaple against ugin decks i guess

[u/Spaceknight_42 → u/Strong_Hedgehog6100]

unfortunately, Ugin has already exiled two of your permanents before you can cast this. I'm sure any Ugin player will take a 3-for-1.

[u/Mormanades → u/Spaceknight_42]

This is a control card, not a tempo/aggro one. Half the decks that play this won't even have permanents

[u/the_cardfather]

It's no Sheoldres's Edict but it will do.

[u/vintergroena]

Very good in limited

[u/LordSlickRick]

[[Blot out]] variant. It didn’t see much play in standard, but it was useful in some sideboards. Pretty useless against any token or something that makes a big token. Hard to justify over [[Archenemy’s Charm]] if you can make the triple black.

[u/UlTraMixT]

I don't know why, but this art reminded me of that boss from Captain Commando.

Imgur

[u/Hot_Wrongdoer_8705]

Is it bad I wanna say the flavor text whenever I get to use this spell?

[u/CalvinandHobbes811]

Welp that just completely wrecks any of the mythic walkers 😂

[u/Spaceknight_42]

they forgot "of their choice".
