Chicago 2024 cards

A total of 49 new cards were designed for this event by Gavin and the team. Three cards were designed at the You Make the Card panel on the Friday before the first event.

Guild Pact	RC01	Instant Choose two colors. Add a mana of each of the chosen colors. At the beginning of your next upkeep, pay one mana of each of the chosen colors. If you don't, you lose the game.	A play on The Guildpact (spell) and the Pact cycle of spells from Future Sight.
The Asker of More Mana	RW35	Legendary Creature — Human Soldier Any time a player would pay a mana cost for anything, it costs more mana to activate. (This includes casting spells, activating abilities, turning face-down creatures face up, paying for Ghostly Prison, the weird ability on Quenchable Fire, etc.) LENGTH 3/3	Represents One More Mana. The ability is a reference to the Stax or Prison deck archetype that seeks to disrupt opponents by forcing them to pay additional mana or denying them enough mana, to play their spells.
The Curve Keeper	RW47	Legendary Creature — Human Soldier Creatures you control get +X/+0, where X is the greatest number of consecutive nonland, nontoken permanents in a mana curve you control.

If another permanent entering the battlefield causes a triggered ability of a permanent you control to trigger, tap any number of Fish you control.

The second ability uses the Rhystic mechanic, after the channel's namesake — Rhystic Study.

(It's an artifact with ", , Discard a card, Sacrifice this artifact: Draw a card.") 2/1	The card transforms Clue tokens into Blood tokens as a nod to both Vampires in fiction and to Murders at Karlov Manor crime fiction theme.

Life at Stake	CB11	Instant You and target creature's controller each secretly choose a number 0 or greater. Then, reveal the chosen numbers. If your number was highest or tied for the highest, exile that creature. Each player who chose the highest number loses that much life.	The card name is a pun based on the card's mechanics; either a player loses life or a creature loses its life. Gavin believes, in retrospect, the card needed to provide players with some additional value to make it worth the slot in a sealed deck.
Aggressive Detective	CR03	Creature — Minotaur Detective Whenever Aggressive Detective attacks, if all your commanders have been revealed, Aggressive Detective deals 2 damage to each opponent. 4/4	Part of the Detective cycle.
