Encounter is another random card from Wizards
"Random Card Division". Just sooo weird. It
would be fun to make a totally casual deck built
around it, though. And interesting. I won't
even bring it up in the context of limited.
Constructed:
2.5 (for interest value)
Limited: 1
Current Price:

When I looked at the
cards Shylo had chosen, I thought, "How random."
And they are indeed very random.
This card looks at
coin flips, and lets you put a counter on this
card if you win the coin flip. This can be used
to great effect with tomorrow's card.
Just remember 2
things:
1) If an opponent
loses a flip, it counts as you having won the
flip.
2) Mana Clash and
Goblin Assassin have no "winners".
OK in a focused
deck, complete crap outside of it.
And complete crap in
limited, since there's no chance of having a
focused deck.
Constructed: 2.25
Limited: 1

Um... not for limited, right off the bat, and it
would take a pretty
specific deck to make it function in constructed,
one that includes
multiple bad cards that don't serve much other
function- such as krark's
thumb and... uh... chance encounter ;P
constructed 2.1
limited 1.1

Chance Encounter
Odyssey added a couple of cards that allow you to
win the game when a certain condition is met. This
unfortunately was the bad one. Chance Encounter
had no real place in limited or constructed at the
time. With only a few cards that allow you to flip
coins, in a draft it was fairly useless. It wasn’t
until the most recent set that you could
manipulate the coin flip with Krarks Thumb. Now
when I speak about constructed I am usually
talking of tournament constructed. In a fun deck,
I would definitely play a few of these with Krarks
Thumbs, Mana Clash, and Fiery Gambit. This card is
all about playing fun cards that pay off for being
lucky. Magic is after all a game that no matter
how well you build a deck can be manipulated by
luck.
Constructed 1.5

Encounter Wow! We
might have found something that can be used with
Planar Chaos! Or, not. In order to play this card,
you need a lot of coin flip cards. This means you
really should only use this card in Casual (and
you must be smoking first to use it in anywhere).
But in Casual, I would rather be smacking my
opponents face with oversized creatures or be
gaining a lot life. A Battle of Wits type deck
would be the last I would look for.
In Limited, unless you want
to commit suicide and be knocked out first game,
don't even think about it.
