mtg cabaretti cards Magic: The Gathering' unveils urban fantasy expansion set in Art Deco-style plane • PhilSTAR Life When Cabaretti Courtyard enters the battlefield Magic The Gathering - Streets

(2025-06-06) A nonmodal double-faced card enters with its front face up by default, unless a spell or ability instructs you to put it onto the battlefield transformed or allows you to cast it transformed, in which case it enters with its back face up

With a normal counter spell, you can see if a player has left mana open and play around it

While putting them directly into play is admittedly more efficient, theres really no downside with Merens ability only good scenarios and better ones

On top of that, its one of the few planeswalkers that can actually be your commander, and its cheap to cast, only costing 3 mana, which is great to deploy early and start getting value from it and permanents

Im not every Commander player though, and Tempt is the perfect level of fun for all kinds of decks, from Aikido to Group Slug to pure Chaos
