    That Biden card is hilariously overpowered.

    I would 100% pay that life to have a 20/20 indestructible trampler T1, lol.

      I misprinted the card lol, it was supposed to set only you to 3 cards.

      Even then the card is still completely busted, but I made the design of these cards entirely with flavor, not function in mind.

      Right? And its shroud so you can't even path to exile it or similar. And even if you do deal with the creature unless you've got a way to skip your draw phase or put cards back in your deck you're on a three turn clock anyway because of the ETB.( If I'm reading it right it exiles all of you and your oponent's deck except for the bottom three cards of each, phrasing is a little unclear. If that's the case and you play Biden in your main phase opponent is next to draw so barring further manipulation they draw their fourth card before you.) And while you have to spend all your time and resources dealing with Biden your oponent gets to play the rest of their hand normally. Utterly insanely broken.

      I mean, depending on the deck burning an opponent for 6 or 8 by the end of their turn 4 isn't impossible. The best counterplay I can see aside from T0 counterspells is low to the ground monored burn. You still need to get a lot luckier than the Biden player though. I seriously can't think of a format this card wouldn't completely warp.

      It was supposed to only mill your own deck. Damnit

      I'd love a place where I can whine about throwing my money away on cardboard with fellow leftists. Digital FNM would be so cool.

          Is there an easy way to set that up with facecams and shit? I'd totally be down to try and organize something in that case.

            I mean, the easiest thing would be Arena or MTGO. There's also sites like Cockatrice, where people could netdeck or recreate their IRL decks.

            With MTGO, there are weird, cheap formats like Penny Dreadful. Pauper is also really popular (decks are a touch more expensive online, but they're still cheaper than Standard/Modern on paper).

    Holy fuck, Biden confirmed for the harm MAXIMISATION candidate 😂

    Like, seriously, Biden, At Wits End is incredibly broken, like, I think it would be a serious contender for the best card ever printed broken.

    Am I reading this wrong or does having Biden, At Wits End in your opening hand let you turn 1 an indestructible, shroud, trample 20/20 AND put your oponent on a 3 turn clock even if it's answered (they draw before you unless you flash it in). Paying 12 or 14 life for that is nothing. If you have four of these in your deck I think your highest winrate play in most formats is to mull down to 1 looking for one and just concede if you don't get it. Your oponent needs either [a turn 1/0 counterspell] or a [turn 2&3 chump blockers or a non targetting exile and [deck shenanigans or to be able to kill you outright]] just to survive to turn four. And this is all from one card with 0 mana investment and no colour restrictions . You can add it to almost any deck.

    Forget Modern and Standard, I think that's a four of in most legacy decks, let alone other formats. Oh and it's a Legendary Creature so it can be a commander 😂

    @YeForPrez2020 pls explain

      mull down to 1 looking for one

      Lol, even better. With London mull, it's even easier to find one of the four of them in your deck.

      I fucked up with the Biden card lmao, it was supposed to only set you to 3 cards, not your opponent.

      Even then it's still hideously broken, the design is purely for flavor, not functionality lol

    Thread Question: Say Biden, At Wits End is announced for Legacy.

    If you're Ridin with Biden, what sort of deck do you build around him?

    If you refuse to run a senile rapist war criminal in your cardboard crack stack, what sort of deck do you build to counter him?
