About Seek Bolas's Counsel Playtest

Seek Bolas's Counsel Playtest, Sorcery, designed by Matt Warren first released in Nov, 2019 in the set Mystery Booster Playtest Cards 2019 and was printed exactly in 2 different ways.

A deck that focuses on controlling the game and disrupting opponents' strategies would benefit from Seek Bolas's Counsel Playtest, particularly those that can take advantage of the various random effects it offers. While this card can be fun and chaotic, more competitive decks may find more consistency and power in other cards like Time Walk or Damnation, depending on their strategy and goals. Ultimately, Seek Bolas's Counsel Playtest may not see much play in highly competitive settings, but could be a fun addition to casual or themed decks looking for a unique and unpredictable twist.

Rules

11/12/19

If you cast a card “without paying its mana cost,” you can’t choose to cast it for any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, such as that of Tormenting Voice, you must pay those to cast the card.

11/12/19

In a Limited event, each card a player opened (in a Sealed Deck event) or drafted (in a Booster Draft event) is their sideboard.

11/12/19

One a spell or ability has had a random mode chosen, a player can’t choose to not finish casting or activating that spell or ability unless there’s no way for the player to complete the process. For example, the player can’t choose to not activate mana abilities to pay for the spell.

11/12/19

One card (Fractured Powerstone) allows you to roll the planar die even if you’re not playing a Planechase game as long as you’ve already planeswalked to a plane card. If you roll the Planeswalker symbol outside of a Planechase game, you’ll planeswalk away from Pools of Becoming, but you won’t planeswalk to a new plane. You’re totally lost, which tends to work out well.

11/12/19

You can’t choose to roll a planar die (which would allow you to leave the Pools of Becoming or trigger its last ability) unless you’re playing a Planechase game.

11/12/19

You must cast any of the exiled cards you wish to cast while Seek Bolas’s Counsel is resolving. You can’t cast them later in the turn.

11/12/19

You planeswalk to Pools of Becoming even if you’re not playing a Planechase game. This planeswalk isn’t represented by a plane card. If you are playing a Planechase game, you planeswalk away from the current plane but you don’t reveal the top card of any planar deck.
