About Skybreen

Skybreen, Plane — kaldheim, designed by Wayne England first released in Sep, 2009 in the set Planechase Planes and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 19.26.

A deck that focuses on disruption and control would benefit from using Skybreen, as it can hinder opponents' ability to cast spells based on the top card of their library and punish them for holding onto too many cards in hand. While Skybreen can be a fun and unique addition to such a deck, more competitive options like Narset, Parter of Veils or Teferi, Time Raveler may offer stronger and more consistent control elements. Ultimately, whether Skybreen sees play would depend on the specific strategy and meta of the deck it's included in.

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

Skybreen’s second ability prevents each player from casting spells that share a card type with a card on top of any library, not just the one on top of that player’s own library. This includes permanent spells (artifacts, creatures, enchantments, and planeswalkers), not just instant and sorcery spells. It doesn’t stop players from playing lands or activating abilities (such as cycling or unearth).

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

When playing with the top card of your library revealed, if an effect tells you to draw several cards, reveal each one before you draw it.
