This Wine Is Vintage!

Fancy a drink? Careful there!

Wine of Eternity (Forgotten Realms chase, 21/25) is a great card for eliminating enemy champions. Unlike Takhisis's Mirror of Life Trapping (Dragonlance chase, 14/25), a champion "put to sleep" by Wine of Eternity can't be freed by a mere Dispel Magic. No, to get your champion back you must draw and discard a card at the beginning of each turn, hoping its last digit is equal to or greater than the affected champion's base level. That's a heavy price to pay, because whatever that card was - Menzo, your Wish, your Dreaded Ghost - it's gone. 

Another primo use of the Wine is against avatars. No drawing and discarding there - if Wine of Eterinity is successfully used against an avatar, that card is out of play until the Wine itself is canceled somehow. All avatars are higher than level 10, so no last digit can free them. I've used this card to rid myself (at least for awhile) of Istus, Kiri-Jolith, and countless other problematic avatars.

So if you're looking for a card that can put enemy champions on ice for awhile, and also cost your opponent a (possibly awesome) card each turn, crack open a bottle and pour a glass of this vintage!

Next: Don't be "hasty"!
