Chris' Magic: The Gathering Card of the Day!

In this web page, I hope to present to you strategies, combos, and obscure uses for a new Magic the Gathering card every single day.

The Card of the Day is....

Peace Talks

During this turn and the next one, players cannot declare an attack and cannot play spells or abilities that target any permanent or player.

A brief rundown of the card:

It's almost like a poor man's Time Walk. With all the attention Abeyance has been getting, I'm suprised I don't see Peace Talks show up in many more tournaments. It's very similar. Need an extra turn to dig up a Counterspell or Disenchant? Use Peace Talks to delay that 10 point Fireball a turn or two. Here are some other uses for Peace Talks:

• Nettling Imp/Norrit
  Force their creatures to attack during the Peace Talks, and watch them get cast into the graveyard for disrupting negotiations.
• Total War
  Eliminate your opponents entire army with this combo. Force them to all attack with Total War the turn after Peace Talks start up.
• Boiling Blood
  Don't need the mass-destruction of Total War? Do you need to keep a few of your opponent's creatures around (Siesures/Maddening Wind)? Do you want to draw a card? Just make your opponent's most fearsome die of bi-polar disorder when you give it conflicting orders.
• Wrath of God/Armageddon/Nevinyrral's Disk...
  Remember, these spells don't target anything! Use your cheesy mass-destruction spells without fear of most forms of reprocussion.
