That's the weirdest Roar of the Wurm I've ever seen. :p

My thought on this is that it's a side effect of the settings all getting smushed into one set that's also trying to tell a traditional narrative. You don't have the space for that weirdness to settle. Like, Bloomburrow is honestly a weird setting once you get past the cottagecore animal...

How many elementals would you have to run before this fine fellow is worth it? Incandescent Soulstoke Also, I will always suggest Creeperhulk especially since it gives your 0/1 Spawns and 1/1 Scions some late-game oomph.

It definitely feels more like a payoff for generating a bunch of treasure tokens or other trinket-y garbage that you're going to crack for value anyway, or if you're leaning into stuff like Kavaron Harrier/Kuldotha Rebirth/Sokenzan Smelter for a Pauper-style artifact-themed aggro archetype...

Is this little fellow not good enough? Selkie Hedge-Mage I guess you could argue that it isn't splashable, but I'd settle for both a 2/2 that gives you 3 life or a 2/2 that bounces a tapped creature if I was rounding out the rest of my deck. I'm personally also a fan of Cold-Eyed Selkie but...

Do you think WotC regrets printing Galvanic Blast? This is the 7th one-drop creature-specific burn spell that deals 2 damage normally but 4 damage if a condition is met (8th if you count the Alchemy version of Unholy Heat), but Plasma Bolt and Galvanic Blast are the only ones that can point that...

Venser does get a bunch of points for being super clean. Sure, there are stronger 4-drops in blue these days, and there are better cards at doing what Venser does, but Venser just does the thing. Gotta love cards that just do the thing without faffing around with restrictions or conditions.

I appreciate that WotC decided not to specify which counters you can remove. Osteomancer Adept Mmm, tasty Finality counters... ... Raiding Schemes I'm kinda bummed that the reference to Wort, the Raidmother is commander-bait expensive. Conspire's a super fun mechanic and can be pretty...

One potential solution would be to start everyone off with a copy of each of the ubiquitous staples and then have a few extra copies in the cube so that people who want to lean into a particular deck can? 1 copy per player then 3-4 copies in the draft pool would come out to 12 copies of the card...

What an interesting card for some kind of Ninja subtheme.

Sodden Verdure Rain-Slicked Copse We got the {G/U} tango and the {G/U} bicycle. It's a shame that they don't just... print the rest of them? It's not like they're chase cards or anything... Also, how's this for a blast from the past?

This is obvious EDH bait, but that second ability is the kind of thing that's either going to do nothing or be GRBS.

I really like this thing for a lower powered list? The floor is a solid attacker that will probably take something with it if they don't chump it, and pairing it with Llanowar Elves and the like offers a serious clock if you can keep the board clear.

Not even thinking about powerlevel, but... Madness: Greenseeker Borderland Explorer Floral Evoker Jolrael, Empress of Beasts Dredge: Shigeki, Jukai Visionary Tokens: Dance of the Tumbleweeds Springheart Nantuko Intersecting: Gysahl Greens Turntimber Sower Ramp Target: Ashaya, Soul of the Wild

Mirror Mockery What a weird card. It's both a repeatable flicker engine that's tied to attacking (great if you want to encourage aggression!) and a pseudo-Pacifism because villain probably isn't too keen on attacking into the Mirror. It also very briefly gives you a token to mess with, which...
