About Karn's Bastion

Karn's Bastion, Land, designed by Adam Paquette first released in May, 2020 in the set War of the Spark Promos and was printed exactly in 13 different ways. It see play in 2 formats: Commander and Brawl. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 445.67. It's a key card in 1 combos.

Karn's Bastion would be beneficial in a deck that focuses on +1/+1 counters, planeswalkers, or other permanents that benefit from proliferate effects. While it can be a useful addition to such decks, there are potentially better cards like Contagion Clasp or Contagion Engine that offer more versatile proliferate options. Whether Karn's Bastion should see play would depend on the specific strategy and synergy of the deck in question.

Rules

03/19/21

If a permanent has +1/+1 counters and -1/-1 counters on it, they’re removed in pairs as a state-based action so that the permanent has only one of those kinds of counters on it.

03/19/21

You don’t have to choose every permanent or player that has a counter, only the ones you want to add another counter to. Since “any number” includes zero, you don’t have to choose any permanents at all, and you don’t have to choose any players at all.

05/03/19

If a spell or ability puts counters on a player or permanent and then instructs you to proliferate, choosing that player or permanent will give that player or permanent another of those counters.

05/03/19

The War of the Spark set doesn’t include any ways for players to have counters, but some cards in other sets say that a player “gets” a counter of a certain kind. Notably, emblems aren’t counters.
