.hack//Sign — Member Address

Commanded by Tsukasa, the Wavemaster, a planeswalker that can be your commander and starts at 4 loyalty, this Esper (white/blue/black) 100-Card Commander Deck is set inside The World, the most played online game on the network. A Wavemaster named Tsukasa wakes in a dungeon with no memory of logging in and discovers he cannot log out. He would rather be left alone. Instead, one by one, other players come to sit beside him: Mimiru, the Heavy Blade, who does not take no for an answer; Bear, the Old Blademaster, who asks the right questions; BT, Information Broker; Subaru, Leader of the Crimson Knights and Crim, the Easygoing Knight; and Sora, the Twin-Blade PK, who follows because it is interesting. Around them move Morganna, the AI at the heart of the system, and her cat Macha; Aura, the Ultimate AI; Helba, Queen of Hackers; Lios, System Administrator; the dead designer Harald Hoerwick; and the rumour every player has heard, The Key of the Twilight.

• Member Address: word for word on twenty-five creatures — when this creature enters, put a loyalty counter on each planeswalker you control. Every friend who joins the party makes Tsukasa stronger, and it is the only mechanic: one ordinary loyalty counter, no second keyword.
• +1, recruit: look at the top four cards of your library and put a creature card with Member Address into your hand.
• −X, call by address: put a creature card with mana value X or less from your hand onto the battlefield. The loyalty the party gave him pays for the next, bigger member, who arrives with Member Address and gives some of it back.
• −8, the whole party: an emblem gives creatures you control +2/+2 and trample.
• The party engine: Bear draws for each new member, Subaru gives other Member Address creatures +1/+1, The Member List drains each opponent on every arrival, Party Recruitment and Call by Member Address find and deploy teammates, Aura and Macha add loyalty, and Mimiru and PK Hunter punish anyone who attacks your planeswalkers.

Why Esper

Blue is Tsukasa and the system — the Wavemaster, code, gates, hackers and messages. White is the party and the Crimson Knights — friends who sit down, guard, heal and patrol, and the Guardian that protects him. Black is the trap — Morganna's embrace, Macha, the player killers, Data Drain, a server that will not let him go. Two combos close the game. The Net Slum back door: Helba, Queen of Hackers with The Chaos Gate — each activation flickers Helba, who untaps up to five lands and adds loyalty on the way back in, for unlimited mana, arrivals and loyalty that The Member List turns into a drain or The Key of the Twilight turns into a win at your upkeep once a planeswalker you control has twelve or more loyalty counters. Mother of the Guardians: the −2 of Morganna, Mode Gone copies Guardian of the Holy Ground with haste, and the copy flickers Morganna back with fresh loyalty to do it again, for unlimited hasty attackers. Sol Ring, Arcane Signet, Azorius Signet, Talisman of Dominance and Command Tower ramp; The Epitaph of Twilight and Party Recruitment tutor; Data Drain, Player Kill, Lios, CC Corp Debugger, Forced Log-Out and Logged Off remove threats; Access Denied counters; Server Shutdown is the only sweeper and puts two loyalty counters on each planeswalker you control; The Embrace of Morganna, Flash Mail and Bear draw; Debug Mode protects.
