About Alms Collector

Alms Collector, Creature — cat cleric, designed by Bram Sels first released in Nov, 2016 in the set Treasure Chest and was printed exactly in 6 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 6.19. It's a key card in 1 combos.

This Alms Collector card would be beneficial in a control or disruptive deck that aims to limit the opponent's card advantage, especially against decks that rely heavily on drawing multiple cards at once. While Alms Collector can be a useful tool in certain matchups, there are potentially better options like Narset, Parter of Veils or Notion Thief that offer more impactful and consistent disruption to card draw strategies. Whether Alms Collector should see play would depend on the specific meta and strategy of the deck, but it could be a situational and fun inclusion for players looking to disrupt card advantage strategies.

Rules

08/25/17

Alms Collector’s replacement effect applies to an instruction to draw more than one card before any replacement effects apply to individual cards drawn. For example, if you have a card with dredge in your graveyard, you can’t dredge it before the effect of Divination is modified by Alms Collector’s replacement effect.

08/25/17

If two players each control an Alms Collector and an effect instructs them to each draw two or more cards, the replacement effect of each Alms Collector is applied and both players end up drawing two cards.

To determine whether a player is instructed to draw multiple once or instructed multiple times to draw one card, count how many times the word “draw” is used. Alms Collector’s replacement effect watches for one “draw” that instructs a player to draw multiple cards (including instructions to “draw a card for each. . .”).
