BioShock — Would You Kindly

Commanded by Jack, Would You Kindly, this Izzet (blue/red) 100-Card Commander Deck is set in Rapture, a city two miles under the Atlantic that runs on ADAM — a compound priced, vialled, sold from vending machines and fought over. The deck is two things: the choice made over and over about what to do with it, and a sentence that makes a man do whatever comes after it, handed to the table.

• Harvest or Rescue: whenever a creature dies, choose. Harvest gives three adam counters. Rescue gives one and a gift counter, and every third gift counter becomes ten adam counters and a card. Over one death Harvest wins by two; over three, Rescue pays thirteen and draws. Two curves that cross, asked again at every death, and the right answer depends on whether the game ends this turn. Fourteen cards carry it, and fifty-seven mention adam counters.
• Would You Kindly: choose an opponent and give the order — sacrifice a creature, discard, mill three, sacrifice a land. They are never required to obey, and it never matters: both branches pay you, and the refusal pays more. Fourteen cards carry it. Jack is the only card with both mechanics printed on him.
• The cast: Andrew Ryan, Frank Fontaine, Atlas, Brigid Tenenbaum, Sander Cohen, Sofia and Eleanor Lamb, Subject Delta and The Big Sister.

Why Izzet

Blue is Rapture itself: pressure calculations, a bathysphere network, The Thinker predicting every citizen, Suchong's conditioning notes — the technician certain he understands people well enough to arrange them. Red is what burned when the plan failed: splicers on the ceilings, the New Year's riot, the wrench, Incinerate. Plasmids are instants and sorceries; ADAM is money, not a graft.
