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 expensive creature or planeswalker, which can be disruptive.
-
Card Advantage: The second mode can give you extra resources to work with.
-
Graveyard Hate: The third mode offers 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 built for it.
Potential Deck Placement:
- Likely to find a home in Jund decks or other B/R/G strategies that can leverage all three modes effectively.
- Could be an interesting one-of in a Jund 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 Riveteers.
- Given the range of effects, the "Charm" aspect of the card fits well, as it offers multiple tools for the Riveteers to employ in their endeavors.
Overall Impression:
Riveteers 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.
