Character Background

Count on Luck fits squarely into red’s risk-taking identity: at each upkeep it exiles the top card and lets you play it that turn, rewarding decks that want steady incremental advantages rather than raw card draw. It best supports value- and combo-oriented red builds that can exploit extra plays or extra land drops for tempo — think spell‑slinging decks that generate tokens or damage off casting spells (Young Pyromancer, Guttersnipe) or combo shells that value repeated unique plays (Aetherflux Reservoir, storm variants that can use an extra free play). Deckbuilding tip: populate your list with cheap interaction and cantrips and include top‑deck manipulators (Sensei’s Divining Top, scry effects, or even a blue splash for Brainstorm) so Count on Luck more often hands you a useful spell, and consider cards that care about additional lands (Valakut or landfall synergies) to leverage exiled lands. Play it as a tempo/value engine — not a pure draw spell — and plan around the upkeep timing.
