Slith Strider

Red's Punisher Effect

New • 03 Apr 2023 • Asked by schienamento • 50 Comments

From your Mechanical Color Pie 2021, Red is still primary in Punisher effects, so can Red have the Slith Strider ability? "Whenever [this] becomes blocked, draw a card". It's basically a Browbeat on legs...

No. A punisher effect is one where there are two effects (usually on a spell) and the opponent chooses which effect happens. If you don’t block, you take damage, so it’s not a clean choice.
