About The Hippodrome

The Hippodrome, Plane — segovia, designed by Steve Argyle first released in Sep, 2009 in the set Planechase Planes and was printed exactly in 2 different ways.

This card, The Hippodrome, could be beneficial in a control or stax-style deck that aims to disrupt opponents' creatures and slow down aggressive strategies. While the ability to give all creatures -5/-0 can be useful in certain situations, the conditional creature destruction ability may not always be reliable. There are potentially better cards available that offer more consistent and impactful effects, such as board wipes or targeted removal spells. Whether The Hippodrome should see play would depend on the specific strategy and meta of the deck, but it may not be a top choice in competitive settings.

Rules

10/01/09

A plane card is treated as if its text box included “When you roll , put this card on the bottom of its owner’s planar deck face down, then move the top card of your planar deck off that planar deck and turn it face up.” This is called the “planeswalking ability.”

10/01/09

Creatures may have negative power. For example, a 3/4 creature that gets -5/-0 becomes -2/4. The total of its power and toughness is 2. It would need +3/+0 to raise its power to 1.

10/01/09

The controller of a face-up plane card is the player designated as the “planar controller.” Normally, the planar controller is whoever the active player is. However, if the current planar controller would leave the game, instead the next player in turn order that wouldn’t leave the game becomes the planar controller, then the old planar controller leaves the game. The new planar controller retains that designation until they leave the game or a different player becomes the active player, whichever comes first.

10/01/09

You may target any creature with The Hippodrome’s chaos ability. Whether its power is 0 or less isn’t checked until the ability resolves.
