Gonti, Canny Acquisitor

Legendary Creature — Aetherborn Rogue

Spells you cast but don't own cost less to cast.

Whenever one or more creatures you control deal combat damage to a player, look at the top card of that player's library, then exile it face down. You may play that card for as long as it remains exiled, and mana of any type can be spent to cast that spell.

Elnxida on Cost Reduction Cards

10 months ago

I've noticed a few* omissions, namely effects that let you pay an alternate cost - which can be less than the regular cost (Zombie creaturess: Rooftop Storm) or reduced by other effects (Samurai: Kentaro, the Smiling Cat).

*Yeah, so I decided to do a proper search and it bloated into more than a "few"... Sorry for the wall of text, but here you go!

Flarhoon13 on Atraxa's Dicebag of Holding (Need all the dice)

11 months ago

Nov 2 Atraxa's Dicebag of Holding lost to Rich's Zevlor, Elturel Exile. I had 28 counters on a Champion of Lambholt but two castings of Do or Die from Rich slowed me down enough for him to pull out Professor Onyx with the Chain of Smog for the win. I killed Matt on Sultai Gonti, Canny Acquisitor

Oct 11

Daxos of Meletis, Soldiers of Fortune won a long game with Strixhaven Stadium and Githzerai Monk. Granted, Jared was playing a Gonti, Canny Acquisitor precon and Josh was on pauper commander Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward. Josh threatened to go infinite with Archaeomancer but Jared had interaction, a Smirking Spelljacker for the counter. That gave me time to win through combat and kill Josh with Strixhaven Stadium (thanks, Nitpicking Nerds)

Crow_Umbra on Does hissing miasma target?

Gonti, Canny Acquisitor looks specifically at triggers involving combat damage.

Hissing Miasma would trigger an additional time from Isshin, Two Heavens as One, since he looks at Attack triggers from any permanents you control.

Rhadamanthus on Does hissing miasma target?

No, Hissing Miasma won't trigger Gonti, Canny Acquisitor. Hissing Miasma doesn't cause any creatures to deal combat damage to anyone. The Miasma, itself, causes a player to lose life.

Gonti, Canny Acquisitor is the commander I am interested to see if this interacts or not
