Magic The Gathering Games Announces Archenemy!
Hello Magic The Gathering fans! If many of you haven’t known about the new multiplayer product that Wizards is coming out with now its time to look at them! Today MTGG covers the basics of Archenemy!
Archenemy is meant as a multiplayer format. What happens is that you and 2-4 opponents will play in a massive 2 Headed-Giant game! You will use your Archenemy deck and go first. You and your opponents play as a usual game but you start at 40 life and each of your opponents will start at 20. I know this may sound as a disadvantage but the Archenemy decks are meant to handle this many opponents!
You start out the game since you are the Archenemy. After your upkeep and draw phase comes you main phase this is were your oversize deck of 20 Archenemy cards come into effect. These cards are known as “schemes” and act as spells. So since the Archenemy schemes act as spells your opponents can play instants and abilities in response to your scheme. This could mean that your scheme could get negated and such.
There is a few different kinds of Archenemy schemes that might help you out when you play Archenemy. Ongoing schemes play out until the scheme says it needs abandoned, this can be simple such as a creature going to the graveyard. Please note that all other schemes unless printed on the card are put on the bottom of the scheme deck once they resolve just like any other spell.
The game plays out normal from there One vs. Many. The Archenemy deck could also be played against EDH decks as well. Also another format with Archenemy were everyone plays scheme deck! Stay tuned to Magic The Gathering Games to find decklists on the new Archenemy!
