Ante is worse than gambling. You don't even know exactly what you are staking. That is why Magic is the one and only trueTrading Card Game.

I love how it gives the opponent the option of conceding immediately in the card text, as if it were the clause of an actual legally binding contract.

Demonic Attorney is the ultimate "win-more" card. By design, it is meant to be played when you are winning, to make the win even bigger for you and more devastating for your opponent. These sorts of cards are fun for some players, but by-and-large bad for the game. The fact that this is on an ante card is sort of amusing. Fallen Empire's Orcish Spy made timing Demonic Attorney easy to minimize your risk and maximize your reward.

They should update the art to show any scene from Devil's Advocate. The Judge's nose...seriously...

I think they should add the text "If opponent does not concede the game immediately" to every single card.
They took out the "or" clause. The additional ante happens without the opponent having the option to concede instead! This just became a lot less powerful.

@NGG: I hope that was meant sarcastically or something. Your opponent can concede any time they want, so that additional text made absolutely no functional difference. You could just as easily add the same clause to the beginning of, say, Lightning Bolt.

The first three rares that I got in MTG were this card, Veteran Bodyguard and Zombie Master. I'm not sure why I didn't just quit the game right then and there. :p

@niceguygreensboro If I am not mistaken, Conceding is a state-based action, so effectively every card could say 'Unless each opponent concedes the game .' I do see your point though.

Demonic Attourney? Isn't that redundant?

In order to increase confusion, they should eratta this to say "If no opponents does not concede, you don't concede, and this isn't countered, everyone antes."

Used this in a fateseal deck. My opponent cried when I snagged his Jace, the Mind Sculptor. But since we both had ante'd cards, he gave up.
