Is Azuki’s Charge like Haste in Magic?

MostlyMostly. Haste and Charge both let a creature attack the turn it arrives. Haste also lets it use tap abilities right away; Azuki Charge’s reminder text only covers attacking.

Charge in the Azuki TCG

Charge lets an entity attack the same turn it enters the Garden, whether it was played there or portaled in from the Alley. Without Charge it has cooldown that turn. It still attacks only legal targets: the opposing leader or a tapped Garden entity.

The same

  • Both remove the first-turn wait to attack.

Different

  • Haste also allows {T} abilities. Charge says only that the entity can attack.
  • Magic attacks go at players, planeswalkers and battles, and the defender chooses blockers. An Azuki attacker picks its own target: the leader or a tapped entity.

Magic: The Gathering: checked against the Magic Comprehensive Rules. Azuki TCG: printed card text and the rules.
