Targeting Mechanic Trends

New 12 May 2024 Asked by carvedocean 20 Comments

We've seen a slight increase in cards that care about being targeted recently after what I feel has been a fairly long absence (From ~3/year since Odyssey block to ~5/year since KHM). Since there seems to be some design space for this mechanic (even at common with Illusory Servant effects and Cactarantula) do you think we might see a greater focus on these kinds of effects in future sets?


It will ebb and flow. It’s a natural part of the game we can care about.
