The Bargain and The Voice

Type: Token

Rarity: Token

Mana Cost: —

Color Identity: Colorless

Reminder card. The Bargain: each card names a price, and a bargain price is paid once and lasts for the rest of the game. It stays paid even if the permanent leaves the battlefield, and nothing gives it back.

This is NOT a sacrifice deck. A sacrifice spends a permanent; a bargain deletes a rule about YOU — a card type you may no longer cast, a window you may no longer act in, a search you may never make again. There is not one card in the ninety-nine that refunds a paid price.

The Voice: whenever a bargain price is paid, put a voice counter on Ursula's Nautilus Shell. Its controller spends those counters, and keeps them until someone takes the Shell. The ability you gave up is not destroyed, it is stored — and the Shell's last ability can be activated by ANY player, which makes taking your voice back a real objective on a real board.

“The terms are read out in full before anybody signs, and the failure rate is printed on the door.”

Single card from the THE LITTLE MERMAID (Poor Unfortunate Souls) Commander deck. Sold individually.
