About Court of Ambition

Court of Ambition, Enchantment, designed by Ravenna Tran first released in Oct, 2020 in the set Commander Legends and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of £ 3.66.

A deck that focuses on controlling the game and maintaining card advantage would benefit from including Court of Ambition, as it provides a steady source of life loss and card advantage while potentially keeping you as the monarch for additional benefits. However, there are better cards that offer similar effects with lower mana costs, such as Liliana's Caress or Waste Not, which could be more efficient options for decks looking to exploit discard mechanics. Court of Ambition could see play in slower, grindy decks that can afford the higher mana cost and benefit from the monarch mechanic, but it may not be a top choice in more competitive environments.

Rules

11/10/20

As Court of Ambition’s second ability resolves, first the next opponent in turn order chooses whether they are discarding or not. If they are, they choose a card without revealing it (or two cards without revealing them, if you’re the monarch), then each other opponent in turn order does the same. Then each chosen card is discarded simultaneously, and finally each player who couldn’t or didn’t discard loses the appropriate amount of life.

11/10/20

If the monarch leaves the game during another player’s turn, that player becomes the monarch. If the monarch leaves the game during their turn, the next player in turn order becomes the monarch.

11/10/20

There are two inherent triggered abilities associated with being the monarch. These triggered abilities have no source and are controlled by the player who was the monarch at the time the abilities triggered. The full texts of these abilities are “At the beginning of the monarch’s end step, that player draws a card” and “Whenever a creature deals combat damage to the monarch, its controller becomes the monarch.”
