About Barricade Breaker

Barricade Breaker, Artifact creature — juggernaut, designed by Karl Kopinski first released in May, 2020 in the set Aether Revolt and was printed exactly in 3 different ways.

A deck that focuses on artifacts and has a good number of them would benefit from including Barricade Breaker, as it can be cast more easily with the Improvise ability. However, there are potentially better options depending on the specific strategy of the deck, such as Steel Hellkite or Wurmcoil Engine, which offer more versatile abilities and impact on the battlefield. Barricade Breaker could see play in a deck looking to overwhelm opponents with artifact creatures, but its effectiveness may vary based on the overall synergy and power level of the deck.

Rules

Equipment attached to a creature doesn’t become tapped when that creature becomes tapped, and tapping that Equipment doesn’t cause the creature to become tapped.

02/09/17

If an artifact you control has a mana ability with in the cost, activating that ability while casting a spell with improvise will result in the artifact being tapped when you pay the spell’s costs. You won’t be able to tap it again for improvise. Similarly, if you sacrifice an artifact to activate a mana ability while casting a spell with improvise, that artifact won’t be on the battlefield when you pay the spell’s costs, so you won’t be able to tap it for improvise.

02/09/17

If, during your declare attackers step, Barricade Breaker is tapped or is affected by a spell or ability that says it can’t attack, then it doesn’t attack. If there’s a cost associated with having it attack, you aren’t forced to pay that cost, so it doesn’t have to attack in that case either.

02/09/17

Improvise can’t pay for , , , , , or mana symbols in a spell’s total cost.

02/09/17

When calculating a spell’s total cost, include any alternative costs, additional costs, or anything else that increases or reduces the cost to cast the spell. Improvise applies after the total cost is calculated.
