If you're looking for ways to pack a little more power into the Emerald/Steel deck, aka A Roaring Guest List, you've come to the right place
Id run this in most EDH decks that support its color identity, even without counter synergies
Hostage Taker is a blue and black four mana Pirate with two power and three toughness that lets you exile an artifact or creature when it enters the battlefield
For three Colorless Energy, you get to use Crisis Punch, an attack that deals 280 damage to your opponents active Pokemon, but it can only be used when your opponent has exactly one Prize card left, truly making a last resort in a match
I think this is the best green card in the set, since it does literally everything you want in a green deck at a really good rate for how flexible it can be
It completely removed what little FOMO I had for not shelling out for a Collector box. The sentiment extends to Magic players commenting on other MTG creators' videos
