• Dependency: The Card's Strength Significant Relies On The Board State and Specifically On What Kinds Of Counters You Have In Play.

Potential Deck Placement:

• Likely to Fit Best in Azorius (White-Blue) Counter-based strategies, Possible Including +1/ +1 Counters, Loyalty Counters, OR Other Specialized Counters.
• Could also see play in Control decks that couldit from unblockable creatures for pressuring opponents While Maintining a Strong defensive posture.

Flavor and Art:

• The art and the flavor text create a whimsical and mysterious atmosphere, suggestion a story of an absent owner and unusually through fish.

Overall impression:

• Exotic Pets is a card that rewards you for playing a strategy build around counters. It provides a board presence that can be significant enhanced if the conditions are right. While somewhat situational, in the right deck, it could offer a lot of value for its cost.
