If you cant add counters to permanents, you cant add age counters
It wouldnt be a playable format if we couldnt pay 1 red to blast something for 3 damage (my condolences to the three of you playing Standard in the year of our Lord 2025)
Mairsil never really caught on past the initial wave he hit the format with, but he has always been on my mind as I make semi-annual reviews of the new cards each year, looking for discard, blink, or activated abilities that might be perfect for inclusion
If there are zero charge counters on Chalice of the Void, it counters each spell with a mana value of 0
And again, its lack of card draw can be a downside, but if you are constantly queueing into Steel decks you are going to be drawing any way with your opponent's A Whole New World
But with all the land death goodness thats going on here, the card Im most excited to see is Plow Under
