With
the official release of born of the gods coming out February 7th-9th
2014, I figure I talk about one of the new mechanics for the set, Tribute. It’s
a great mechanic to work with. The odd part is letting the other player decide
either or not to pay the tribute. It could work to your advantage either way.
Tribute comes in different shape and
form. Mostly with counters if the tribute is paid. Nessian wilds ravager (which
is a hydra 6/6 creature with a 4 and two green mana to bring out) has tribute 6
mechanics. The opponent chooses if it would get 6 +1/+1 counters on it or if
they don’t pay the tribute, the creature then fights another target creature.
This could kill the other creature that is untapped from blocking you when you
attack with the other creatures on the battlefield.
Other form of tribute can do things like
cast and instant or sorcery without paying the mana cost, putting tokens out on
the battlefield, gaining life, gain control of another creature, etc. They have the tribute mechanic for each of
the colors as well, not just certain ones.
I like the new mechanics that born of
the gods has to offer. Not just the tribute. I’ve heard a lot of people aren’t
too happy with the set; I seem to like it enough. But I just know that the 3rd
set in this block is just going to be epic, which is journey into nyx and it’s
coming out in May of this year.
What is your favorite new mechanic?
