Artist: Steve Argyle
Strengths:
-
Versatility: The Card Offers Three Very Different But Highly Useful Options, Making It A Swiss Army Knife For A Variety of Situations.
-
Sacrifice: The First Mode Forces an Opponent to Sacrifice Their Most Exensive Creature Or Planeswalker, which can be disruptive.
-
Card Advantage: The second fashion can give you extra resources to work with.
-
GRAVEYARD HATE: The third fashion sacrifices a way to disrupt graveyard strategies.
Weaknesses:
-
Conditional: While Versatile, Each Mode has situations where it might not be particularly useful.
-
Mana Cost: Three-Color Mana Requirements can be tough in decks that aren't build for it.
Potential Deck Placement:
- Likely to find a home in June decks or other b/r/g strategies that can leverage all three modes effective.
- Could be an interesting one-of-in-a June midrange deck, or as a flexible tool in the commander format.
Flavor and Art:
- The Art by Steve Argyle would Likely Capture the Gritty, Underground Essence of the Riveters.
- Given the Range of Effects, the "Charm" aspect of the card fits well, as it sacrifices multiple tools for the riveters to employ in Their Endeavors.
Overall impression:
RivePeers Charm is a highly versatile instant that could find a home in Various Deck Archetypes. The Ability to Adapt to Different Game States And Provide Multiple Avenues Of Interaction Makes It A Strong Contender For Any Deck That Can Meet its Three-Color Mana Requirements.
