An Attraction Deck is a unique, optional supplementary deck in Magic: The Gathering, specifically designed to be used with certain cards from the Unfinity expansion.
Understanding the Attraction Deck
Unlike a player's main deck (library), an Attraction Deck contains only Attraction cards. These cards represent various carnival attractions that players can "visit" during a game, providing thematic and mechanical interactions with other Unfinity cards. The deck is not part of a player's starting hand or library, but rather sits beside the play area as a distinct game component.
Key Characteristics and Requirements
The structure and minimum size of an Attraction Deck vary depending on the format of play:
| Format | Minimum Deck Size |
|---|---|
| Limited Play | 3 Attraction cards |
| Constructed Play | 10 Attraction cards |
This deck is optional, meaning players are not required to use one unless they choose to include cards in their main deck that specifically interact with or reference Attractions.
Purpose and Integration with Unfinity
The primary purpose of an Attraction Deck is to support play with some cards from the Unfinity expansion. These cards from Unfinity will instruct players when and how to "visit" an Attraction, often involving rolling a die. When an Attraction is visited, its specific effects trigger, adding a layer of whimsical, unpredictable gameplay characteristic of the Un-sets.
By integrating an Attraction Deck, players introduce an additional strategic and fun element to their games, enhancing the unique experience offered by the Unfinity set.
