What it does
Whenever another permanent you control enters, each opponent mills a card.
Worshippers are allowed to pluck one memory from a chosen nonbeliever. Maybe a battle plan. Maybe a profession of love.

Where it came from
Altar of the Brood was originally released in the 2014 expansion Khans of Tarkir, designed as an artifact that rewards players for filling the battlefield with low-cost permanents. The card quickly became a staple in the Commander format, favored for its ability to enable mill-based strategies and infinite combo loops when paired with specific creature-generating mechanics.
The Secret Lair Countdown version, numbered 001, was released as part of a 2022 promotional drop. This iteration features specialized artwork that departs from the original set's aesthetic, aiming to provide collectors with a more stylized, premium visual representation of the card while maintaining its functional role within the Magic: The Gathering ecosystem.
