If you do nothing fancy, it's a fairly cheap tutor variant where it gets you two cards and your opponent one card. I can't recall seeing a card like that before, so I'm not certain what to expect. However, the reason I'm excited is because it's an artifact. Now my Tezzeret, the Seeker can find anything. Both Goblin Welder and Goblin Engineer break the symmetry while also turning the Talisman into a tutoring engine. And I'm sure there's plenty more to do with the card! Keep in mind, whenever you find a way to break this, THE TALISMAN TUTORS FOR IT.
Overall, the floor seems playable with an incredibly fun ceiling to build for.
Great point on the welder/engineer synergy. Don’t know why I assumed this was symmetrical and wrote it off like another scheming symmetry. Missed the 2v1 card assymetry.
So hard to evaluate... but the more I think about it, the better it seems. Most so in cubes that support combos that can win the game on the spot.
Very interesting game play as well. Worth a test in cubes with combo and possibly just any cube.
If you can set up a near unbeatable turn, or a very strong turn that kills/bounces the wishclaw talisman it's very good.
Examples include sneak attack, channel etc.
