The ten-second pick check

4 questions

Ask them in this order.

Will this body still be here?

A warped creature normally leaves at the next end step. Separate immediate entry or station value from a blocker you need next turn.

Which artifact job is missing?

Choose whether you need an artifact entry, an expendable sacrifice, station power or a Lander for mana; one card can support several, but one sacrifice pays one cost.

Can I make the next threshold safely?

Count station power and the creatures left to block. A future Spacecraft attacker is worth less if tapping the crew loses the race.

Does the mana support the plan?

Budget two mana for each Lander activation and the colored costs of the payoff. Use Premier results as context for the complete deck.

What job does this card do?

All 82 card notes →

Look past the power level. Name the job before deciding whether it belongs.

Cryogen Relic

Enablers

Cryogen Relic

It replaces itself on entry and again when it leaves. Sacrificing it to another effect still gets the leave trigger, but does not also activate its own stun ability.

Galactic Wayfarer

Mana & fixing

Galactic Wayfarer

A three-mana creature supplies a Lander without giving up your board. The Lander needs two more mana to turn into a tapped basic land.

Banishing Light

Answers

Banishing Light

Exiles any opposing nonland permanent, including a Spacecraft or an engine enchantment. The permanent returns if Banishing Light leaves; avoid sacrificing or bouncing it unless that return is acceptable.

What matters in Edge of Eternities

All mechanics →

Spend creature taps deliberately

Station gives small bodies another job, but tapping your blockers can open a lethal attack. Check the next threshold and your defense before committing creatures.

Warp buys an effect now and a spell later

Count the immediate entry effect and any station contribution. Most warped creatures do not attack before exile, and you still pay to cast them again.

Landers connect mana and synergies

A Lander can fix a color, trigger artifact rewards, enable void and later trigger landfall. Choose the use your deck needs; one sacrifice cannot pay two different costs.
