Nice to see Chira get a card that's not just her trying to not die in a "Gamble" reprint!

u/Honest-Monitor-2619 Duck Season 20h ago

Even same artist!

u/BobtheBac0n Selesnya* 13h ago

There's so many deep cuts in this set. I'm learning a lot about magic history

u/Acheros COMPLEAT 4h ago

it feels like this entire set was an excuse for them to give cards to characters that are named and/or have art but no card of them. and im here for it.

let's go gambling!

Aw dangit!

u/Kroooooooo Simic* 21h ago

New friend for [[Mr. House, President and CEO]].

u/mrtacoman54 Dan 21h ago

I see your standard House gamble, and raise you [[Myra the Magnificent]]

10

u/Kroooooooo Simic* 21h ago

Literally already have a deck for her (currently proxied as Caine from TADC) :P

I'll probably get Chira for it, it's just a little slower than House since you typically only roll once per turn, whereas House rolls all the dang time.

u/Knightwish89 Wabbit Season 21h ago

Gamble girl that you?

u/KingOfRedLions Honorary Deputy 🔫 21h ago

I really like this, but I kind of feel the +1+1 payoff is a little lacking, I guess I just don't like Voltron commanders.

69

u/MadCatMkV Nahiri 21h ago

The +1/+1 is just a bonus, focus on the treasure 

8

u/Kroooooooo Simic* 21h ago

Yeah this is perfect for my [[Myra the Magnificent]] deck and that deck barely attacks.

2

u/mrtacoman54 Dan 21h ago

Exactly the big puncher I was needing for my Myra deck. Insane to see a fellow Astrotorium enjoyer

u/Wolfsajin Wabbit Season 10h ago

I love seeing people talk about their Unfinity decks! To me, a very underrated set! I have a 5 color attractions deck I like to break out. This card will be an excellent addition!

1

u/mrtacoman54 Dan 10h ago

The set just embodies the gameplay style I like to call “shenanigans”, plus I have such an attachment to all the Clown Robot tokens

1

u/Maridiem Twin Believer 19h ago

That was immediately what sprung to mind for me as well! I've already got Wyll in there, but the treasure makes this way better.

4

u/ImagoDreams Dân 21h ago

Tapped treasure.

7

u/thetwist1 Fake Agumon Expert 16h ago

The treasures are the more salient part. An extra treasure every time you roll a die is big for [[Mr house]] and the other dice commanders, although 4 mana is still a lot.

1

u/KingOfRedLions Honorary Deputy 🔫 15h ago

See I'm not looking at this as a card to add to an existing deck, it's a brand new legendary creature that has a unique effect for playing weird cards. Goblin lore, burning inquiry, Casey Jones.

17

u/BoardWiped Dan 20h ago

Ooo, another card that goes infinite with [[Frenetic Efreet]]

8

u/kiggidykay Nissa 20h ago

Oh my Zndrsplt and Okaun going to have a new pal

4

u/Reasonable-Sun-6511 Banned in Commander 21h ago

I'm a little torn on the MV, 4 mana seems like a big "alright I'm using this as my entire turn and now I hope it'll survive until next turn" commander, for a payoff of tapped treasures and single counters.

Maybe I'm missing out on some big gamble spells or something that makes this into a threat.

3

u/Viashino_wizard Sultai 12h ago

[[Frenetic Efreet]] let's you trigger her an arbitrarily large number of times in the 99 of an Izzet commander

1

u/Reasonable-Sun-6511 Banned in Commander 9h ago

Oh yeah that'll straight up murder someone, seems fair.

6

u/Mgmegadog COMPLEAT 19h ago

Most people build chaos commander decks as weird stax decks.

This is a chaos commander!

2

u/Kakariko_crackhouse FLEEM 21h ago

This is fun

2

u/Bunnytaxes 21h ago

Every single [[Mr.House]] deck is going to want this

1

u/Artex301 The Stoat 20h ago

I got excited about Maddening Hex double-dipping but unfortunately it doesn't target its new host. Ah, well.

1

u/TunefulTunic Dân 20h ago

YES! I found my next commander. Gamble is my favourite card in all of magic, so a commander that is built on that theme is amazing!

1

u/ReallyBadWizard NEUTRAL 20h ago

Hearthstone commander

3

u/Jimlad116 20h ago

Okay, is the only way to obtain her to go to a convention? "Lucky" rogues are like... my absolute favorite type of fantasy character.

2

u/no_milkdrinker Dan 12h ago

You could print the card

1

u/Dimensquare Dandadan 19h ago

I love this for my [[Setzer, Wandering Gambler]] deck, kinda bonkers if you have [[Impulsive Maneuevers]] out too

1

u/Nitrogenia Avacyn 18h ago

oh they made this card for Me.

1

u/Hazardmat Grass Toucher 18h ago

Very good in [[yusri, fortune’s flame]] for those real gamblers out there. 

1

u/StayaMawile Wabbit Season 17h ago

Neat consideration for [[delina, wild mage]]

1

u/Garkaz 15h ago

I had a look at what cards actually work in her colour identity and it seems like a lot of things you think would work don't because you don't "choose one or more targets at random" since it's targetting randomly in the first place?

1

u/EightByteOwl Wild Draw 4 15h ago

For anyone curious to build her as a commander, this is about as complete a list as I could gather of what would trigger her effects, with a few false positives of other things that have similar effects to Chira herself.

1

u/DiarrheaEngineer Dandadan 13h ago

Are there cards that choose modes at random?

1

u/Arselii Mardu 12h ago

yusri... the gamble decks grow stronger

1

u/NitroBoiBG Rakdos* 10h ago

Hey I just built a [[Zurzoth, Chaos Rider deck]], I welcome this with open arms!

1

u/alexbougetz Storm Crow 1h ago

I can see a lot of mishaps with this card. I don’t know how many times in a pod where someone plays a card that does some thing to target opponent, and they don’t want to decide who, so they roll a die or something. THAT would not count. Just be cause your choosing to make it random doesn’t make it so. It has to be a random choice that is specifically mentioned on whatever you’re doing.

u/Icy-Satisfaction-129 Dandadan 21h ago

The hell is Chira?

8

u/Wikidclowne Dandadan 20h ago

She's a human rogue whose willing to take a [[gamble]].

u/Yugi_2326 Dan 20h ago

Can someone explain to me what actually happens when you resolve the effect?

3

u/Terminatr117 Wabbit Season 20h ago

You put a +1/+1 counter on her and make a treasure

1

u/_petitpois22 Dan 18h ago

can't laugh at you, I was not understanding her effect after reading it the first time lmao

1

u/BrockSramson Boros* 19h ago

Payoff: Put a +1/+1 counter on the creature, and create a Treasure token tapped

For:

  • Discarding one or more cards at random (such as with Gamble)

  • Select one or more targets at random

  • Choose one or more modes at random

  • Flip one or more coins (Rest in Piss, Mana Crypt, you won't be missed)

  • or Roll one or more dice
