Render Inert Drawing a card while stripping up to five counters makes Render Inert a tidy two-for-one
It is here that your tale unfolds
Whichever entered the battlefield later[1] has the later timestamp, which applies second and overrides the earlier effect
Fun Ranking: Kinda Fun (borderline Fun) Eluge, the Shoreless Sea Our third mono-colored commander (spoiler, only five are in the set.) This seems like a solid mono-blue commander that takes advantage of flood counters
Another thing I heard from many of the people whom I spoke to was the importance of limiting the number of copies of cards in their collections: Jesse Lyons from Castles and Cooks and jestergoblin: I generally keep four of each card with the exception of staples, like Brainstorm or Counterspell, where I have around twenty copies. Adam Styborski from pretty much everywhere but primarily GatheringMagic and DailyMTG.com: I sell/trade most of my rares and valuable commons/uncommons
But anyways ignoring the fun aspect of gifting, the whole mechanic is largely flavor text to most cards
