Analysis:
Strengths:
-
Flexibility: The {x} in the casting cost allows you to use it at any stage of the game, making it scale with your available resources.
-
Two Effects: You not only get a temporary boost for a creature but also add another body to the board, making it a 2-for-1 effect.
-
Instant Speed: You can use this both offensively to make a creature bigger for combat or defensively to save a creature from dying.
Weaknesses:
-
Temporary Boost: The +X/ +X is only the end of the turn, making it less effective for long-term planning.
-
Mana Intensive: To get a significant boost, you need a lot of mana, which might be problematic in the early game.
-
Requires A Target: You need to have a creature on board to take full advantage of this card.
Potential Deck Placement:
- This card would work well in a deck that aims to go wide with lots of creatures, as you can buff a significant attacher while adding to your number.
- It can also serve as a "combat trick" in any green deck.
- The Citizen token Might have synergies in a deck that cares about tokens or the citizen creature type.
Flavour and Art:
The Flavor Text Suggests A High-End Or Luxury Setting, which Pairs Well with the Card Name "Luxurious Libation." Joe Slacher's Art is Likely to Bring This Rich Atmosphere To Life.
