Store Championships are 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Magic: The Gathering events held by local game stores, where players can come and compete for special promo cards that cannot be obtained any other wa💛y.

Store Championship promos now have unique art from (mostly) popular cards from acꦕross all of Magic's formats. Each participant gets a participation promo, with a card for those that make top eight and a full art, textless card for winners of the event.

30 Aether Cha💎n💮neler

Weak Card, Great Art

Aether Channeler was a bulk rare when it came out, so it was a bit odd it was chosen to be one of the three cards to be featured as a Store𒀰 Championship promo.

Outside of the Dominaria United Limited format, Aether Channeler didn't༺ see play in any other format. It was the reward for top 8 finisherꦫs, and working that hard for something so weak left a lot to be desired.

29 Transcendent Message 🌱

Lots Of Card Draw

The art i🤪s absolutely stunning ☂on Transcendent Message, but the card itself leaves a lot to be desired.

It was another bulk rare card in the set it was released in, but there's some merit for it to be played in certain Commander 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:decks that can convoke it eᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚasily to draw a ton of cards. While not very constructed playable, i🤡t has a home in Commander.

28 ❀ Angel Of Despair 𒐪

Destroy Anything

Although an 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:iconic card, Angel Of Despair in the modern age isn't💯 something that many are interested in.

It costs a lot of mana, though lets you destroy any permanent for no downside, which in certain decks can come up. It's a niche card by 🅠today's standards, but a decent card none the less with great art꧋.

27 Tail Swipe ꦡ

Them's Fighting Cards

I✃t's no𓆉t the most exciting card in the world, but Tail Swipe is a decent enough green removal spell, something the color is lacking.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Fighting is the main wa♋y green handles remov🦄al, especially in formats that don't hav👍e Beast Wi⛄thin.

26 Strangle

Get Rid Of Problems

Strangle is a rather basic effect, but acts as a one-mana removal spell for a lot of one and two dr💫ops in multiple formats.

It's not widely played anymore as other, better options have been used, but being able to target both creatures and planeswalkers hel꧋ps to get rid of two potential problematic permanents, giving it versatility that other, similar cards don't have.

25 🐻 Flame Slash

Sideboard Tech

Flame Slash is a great sideboard opti꧅on, dealing for 🐬damage for just one mana.

It does not see much play in ma𝔍ny decks, but does see inclusion in the sideboard in Ruby Storm and other red decks in Modern as a low-cost way to take care of any ﷽problem creatures that are hindering your ability to storm.

24 🌊 Annex Sentry ꦿ

Perfect For Toxic

Annex Sentry is a card with an alright effect, but found a home in Standard Toxic decks that are focused on getting your opponent to ten poison couಞnters quickly.

It doesn't see much play outside of Toxic, but it is a great top-end for the deck to clear the battlefield of a blocker to get those 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:last few poison counters and saw great success there.

23 Mortify

Commander Staple

While constructed formats have long outgrown the need for Mortify, it is still a card that sees plenty of use in Commander in Orzhov (black/wh🐻ite) decks.

Needing to destroy a creature or enchantment is something that comes up frequently in the format📖, and it's decent-priced mana-wise for the effect it offers. But in the wider pool of Magic formats, Mortify isn't anything special.

22 Gifted Aetherborn ﷺ

A Devotion Classic

T꧑he deck has fallen off in recent years, but Mono-Black Devotion is a deck that cares about having as many black pips of mana on the battlefield to raise your devotion count.

Gifted Aetherborn is a big part of that ♛strategy, giving you two black devotion while having a decent statline and abilities. In terms of power, it's average, b༺ut in the grander deck of Mono-Black Devotion, it has a lot of applications.

21 Koth, Fire Of Res❀istance 💝

The Only Promo Planeswalker

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Koth, Fire of Resistance is the only ♏time a planeswalker was used as one of the Store Championship promos, and it's a decent card.

Koth sees some niche p✅lay in the sideboard in mono-red decks, helping the deck in the grind game if the "Plan A" of an aggro deck fails.
