mtg playtest cards Emrakul and Chatterfang Was given these test cards

For each of these five players, it probably means one of two things

It can be done with cards that can also win on Turn 2

Its a lot easier to generate counters on some permanents than others, and so being able to redistribute them in partial amounts (without relying on dumping them all on the Ozolith when stuff dies) unlocks some nice gameplay synergies

You could give this card a shot if you can prevent opponents from searching libraries, or youre just feeling extremely benevolent

Host of the Hereafter may look like a strong build-around, but the counters theme is weak enough that Id avoid it

Krakens are balanced with their stupidly high mana costs in mind, so being able to get these cards out three to four turns early dramatically improve them overall
