About Asylum Visitor

Asylum Visitor, Creature — vampire wizard, designed by Bastien L. Deharme first released in May, 2020 in the set Shadows over Innistrad Promos and was printed exactly in 6 different ways. It see play in 2 formats: Commander and Duel Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of ₱ 7.01.

This card, Asylum Visitor, would be beneficial in a discard-focused deck that aims to empty opponents' hands, triggering its ability to draw cards and apply pressure by causing life loss. While it can be effective in certain strategies, there may be better options depending on the specific deck archetype, such as more efficient card draw engines like Dark Confidant or Bob, which provide consistent card advantage without the condition of an empty hand. Asylum Visitor could see play in decks looking to capitalize on discard synergies and incremental card advantage.

Rules

04/08/16

A spell cast for its madness cost is put onto the stack like any other spell. It can be countered, copied, and so on. As it resolves, it’s put onto the battlefield if it’s a permanent card or into its owner’s graveyard if it’s an instant or sorcery card.

04/08/16

Effects that cause you to pay more or less for a spell will cause you to pay that much more or less for its madness cost, too.

04/08/16

If you discard a card with madness to pay the cost of a spell or activated ability, that card’s madness trigger (and the spell that card becomes, if you choose to cast it) will resolve before the spell or ability the discard paid for.

04/08/16

On an opponent’s turn, triggered abilities you control will resolve before any triggered abilities of permanents that opponent controls if they trigger at the same time. This means that if you and your opponent each control an Asylum Visitor during your opponent’s upkeep, and they have no cards in hand, you’ll always draw a card before your opponent has a card in their hand.

04/08/16

The upkeep step is before the draw step, after the untap step. Asylum Visitor’s first ability will trigger and resolve before the active player draws a card in their draw step if that player has no cards in hand.

04/08/16

When you cast a card with madness, it was still discarded. If it was discarded to pay a cost, that cost is still paid. Abilities that trigger when a card is discarded will still trigger.
