Pokey, the Scallywagg

Each time a spell or ability instructs you to roll a d20, you may apply Pokey’s third ability as a replacement effect to flip a coin instead. If the coin comes up heads, the original spell or ability sees the result of the roll as 20. If the coin comes up tails, the original spell or ability sees the result of the roll as 1. If the coin somehow doesn’t come up heads or tails . . . good luck!

Playtest cards aren’t legal for play in any tournament format other than Mystery Booster Limited formats. On the other hand, we expect they will spice up a wide variety of non-tournament games (as long as everyone’s on the same page about using them!).

If you apply Pokey’s third ability as a replacement effect to rolling a d20, other than the original effect that called for the d20 roll, all other game effects, including replacement effects and triggered abilities, recognize that you flipped a coin rather than rolled a d20. For example, you can then apply the replacement effect of Krark’s Thumb but not the replacement effect of Pixie Guide. And after the roll, the ability of Tavern Scoundrel would trigger, while the first ability of Brazen Dwarf would not trigger.
