Submission: Savoir Faire

To be fair, I'm not sure if arguing about the exact definition of a silver bullet has that much relevance here.

If it leaves the card unlocked for a turn, it makes it much more playable against plenty of other targets, most of which are utility masters (Media locations, Stealth locations, Pool locations, Dreams of the Sphinx, Barrens/Ennoia's theater), some high-cap untap mechanics (Alastor+Helicopter) or Enkil Cog combo pieces (Enkil Cog, Metro Underground).

Frankly, I'm fine with that. We've only had contesting and 'burn location' effects to deal with those this far.

It won't be effective enough to win you games, most of the time, but there are plenty of 'wallpaperish' cards out there with niche effects that belong in the game and have a right to be there.

About the design principle, I'll admit I'm not exactly sure where I heard that from, so take it with a pinch of salt. Or a bucket load, whichever - I'm not here to back up anything because I can't recall the source, like, at all. I should've probably added 'afaik' to even further emphasize how 'imo'-loaded that part was.

If it really escaped someone.

Simply put, I'm all for this card, as there's a very real real niche in the game for it, and it seems really balanced with lore-reinforcing thematics bound to it.

Krausedit\\ Whatever comes to the link James posted and it's arguments, that's a whole another topic.
