Brokers Ascendancy - Golden Age Showcase (SNC)

Brokers Ascendancy
Casting Cost: {G}{W}{U}
Card Type: Enchantment
Card Text:

• At the beginning of your end step, put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control and a loyalty counter on each planeswalker you control.
  Artist: Shawn Pagels

Strengths:

• Board Impact: Provides a persistent boost to all creatures and planeswalkers you control, making it a potent long-term value generator.
• Synergy: Fits exceptionally well in decks featuring a mix of creatures and planeswalkers.
• Mana Cost: Fairly costed at three mana of specific colors, meaning it can hit the board early and start generating value.

Weaknesses:

• Vulnerability: As an enchantment, it's subject to removal. However, being in green, white, and blue offers some protection options.
• No Immediate Impact: While powerful over time, the enchantment does not offer an immediate impact on the board state.

Deck Considerations:

• Bant (Green-White-Blue) Decks: Naturally fits in Bant decks that aim for a mixture of strong creatures and utility planeswalkers.
• Proliferate Mechanics: This card works exceptionally well with mechanics that benefit from counters, such as Proliferate.
• Control Strategies: In a more defensive deck, the ability to tick up planeswalkers while making your creatures progressively more powerful can be a strong play.

Flavor and Art:

• Art: Given Shawn Pagels' art style, one can expect a lavish and detailed representation of the ascendency of these mysterious brokers.
• Flavor: The title suggests a secretive or elite group gaining power, which is backed up mechanically by the incremental strengthening of your forces.

Overall Impression:

Brokers Ascendancy is a powerhouse in a specific type of deck, one that utilizes both creatures and planeswalkers. In such decks, it provides an inexorable advantage that, if left unchecked, can easily lead to victory. Its multi-color requirement limits its use to certain archetypes, but within those, it will likely be a standout card.
