Art by Volkan BaǵaTo allow you to build a synergistic deck around any card you find interesting, you can use Wildcards. At the start of the draft, each player is given two. They have:
Before you shuffle your deck to start the game, if you haven’t exiled any cards with a card named Wildcard, reveal this card from your deck and exile a nonland card you drafted that isn’t in your deck. For the rest of the game, cards you own named Wildcard are copies of the exiled card.
This effectively allows you to run two copies of a card you've drafted, so you can choose to build a deck that's more focused around specific interactions without forfeiting much in terms of consistent plays. Note: to use Lutri, the Spellchaser as your companion, you cannot use Wildcards in your deck.
