About Primal Empathy

Primal Empathy, Enchantment, designed by Micah Epstein first released in Apr, 2020 in the set Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths and was printed exactly in 4 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of ₱ 21.52.

Primal Empathy would be a great addition to a deck focused on ramping up creature power and drawing cards in a Simic (Green-Blue) deck in Magic: the Gathering. However, a more competitive option might be Guardian Project, which allows you to draw a card whenever a non-token creature enters the battlefield under your control. While Primal Empathy has potential in casual play or limited formats, Guardian Project offers a more consistent card draw engine in a creature-heavy deck and would likely see more play in competitive settings.

Rules

04/17/20

If you don’t control a creature with the greatest power, you choose which creature gets a +1/+1 counter while the ability is resolving. Players can’t take actions in between the time you make this choice and the time that creature has a +1/+1 counter.

04/17/20

You determine whether you draw a card or put a +1/+1 counter only as Primal Empathy’s triggered ability begins resolving. Players may respond to the ability to try to change which happens.
