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's currently being selled by the minimum price of $ 0.37. It's a key card in 4 combos.
A Boros aggro deck focused on casting multiple spells per turn would benefit from using Showdown of the Skalds, as it provides card advantage and buffs creatures simultaneously. However, there are better options for similar effects, such as Experimental Frenzy or Outlaws' Merriment, which may offer more consistent value in the long run. Showdown of the Skalds could see play in more casual or thematic decks, but competitive decks may opt for more efficient alternatives.
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.
