About Showdown of the Skalds

Showdown of the Skalds, Enchantment — saga, designed by Steven Belledin first released in Dec, 2020 in the set Kaldheim and was printed exactly in 4 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 0.43. It's a key card in 4 combos.

This card would be beneficial in a Boros aggro deck that focuses on casting multiple spells each turn to pump up creatures and maintain card advantage. While Showdown of the Skalds provides card advantage and buffs creatures, it may be outshined by other cards like History of Benalia or Outlaws' Merriment in terms of immediate impact and board presence, so its inclusion would depend on the specific strategy and synergies of the deck.

Rules

02/05/21

A chapter ability doesn’t trigger if a lore counter is put on a Saga that already had a number of lore counters greater than or equal to that chapter’s number. For example, the third lore counter put on a Saga causes the chapter III ability to trigger, but chapters I and II won’t trigger again.

02/05/21

As a Saga enters the battlefield, its controller puts a lore counter on it. As your precombat main phase begins (immediately after your draw step), you put another lore counter on each Saga you control. Putting a lore counter on a Saga in either of these ways doesn’t use the stack.

02/05/21

If multiple chapter abilities trigger at the same time, their controller puts them on the stack in any order. If any of them require targets, those targets are chosen as you put the abilities on the stack, before any of those abilities resolve.

02/05/21

Once the number of lore counters on a Saga is greater than or equal to the greatest number among its chapter abilities, the Saga’s controller sacrifices it as soon as its chapter ability has left the stack, most likely by resolving or being countered. This state-based action doesn’t use the stack.

02/05/21

The cards you exile because of the chapter I ability are exiled face up.

02/05/21

Under normal circumstances, you can play a land from among the exiled cards only if you haven’t played a land yet that turn.
