doc Welcome to judgment day. Today we look at the uncommon Banker tactic Summary Judgment.

Once again, we visit one of the main sub-themes in the Banker trade, draw. For a cost of 4 with a splashable threshold of 2, you could draw your deck out. Granted, that’s highly unlikely and would necessitate your opponent having a beatstick of enormous proportions (depending on the number of cards in your draw pile), but it is possible. So would you be happy drawing 4-7? Much more reasonable and probable, I know. When the standard for drawing a card is The Tournament Faction’s Draw ability at a cost of 3, paying at a rate of 1:1 or less is HUGE!

How is it you get to draw all of these cards? Well actually, there’s no guarantee you’ll get any of them… You might just have to settle with destroying one of your opponent’s characters. Oh wait, that’s not such a bad thing either, now is it? Here’s the skinny: Pick one of your opponent’s characters. They choose to either let you destroy it or draw a number of cards equal to the character’s strength.

Seems like a win/win situation to me!

One thing to be aware of though, is that in response to Summary Judgment your opponent can destroy the character you picked as part of a cost or effect of an ability or tactic they have, and still choose to destroy the character even though it’s no longer in play, and you get 0 cards.

In both limited and constructed, having one card that can be used as removal or draw power is fantastic.

Limited: 5/5
Constructed: 5/5
