I mean, it depends on your power level: Chivalric Alliance Fleeting Spirit Guardian of New Benalia Illuminator Virtuoso Peace of Mind Professor of Symbology Seasoned Hallowblade Icatian Crier Is it the best way to bin Glory? No, but Raffine's Informant pitching Glory or Prismatic Strands is a...

Of the two, Long Feng feels more likely to actually do the cool thing, especially since you're on 15 Prismatic Vistas.

I'm honestly really happy about the overall quality of bounce spells recently - bouncing stuff for value has a more interesting texture than flickering it, and you get to do stupid nonsense with a broader range of permanents. It's a win-win!

I'd honestly include it even if there's an experience disparity - newer players have to learn somehow, and I remember that seeing people play Brainstorm well was one of my big "oh wait, this game is pretty deep" moments. As long as the group isn't super competitive it should be fine.

I love this thing in any environment that has good ways of bouncing or flickering artifacts: Riverchurn Monument It turns out that sticking a Keening Stone activation on a cheaper artifact is pretty good, and figuring out the best way to do it multiple times makes for a nice little mini-game...

God I'm getting flashbacks. (I used to post a bunch on r/BadMtgCombos, and when Jumbo Cactuar was originally spoiled people slapped it into everything because of the goofy 10,000 power.)

What does your white prowess support look like?

Yeah, it's certainly no Drake Haven.

I've played with it a bit, and my main takeaway was that it was pretty forgettable. The power level was fine, it's just that "tax myself to make a 1/1" doesn't feel super exciting so "the enchantment that taxes me to make goblins" was never that high on my list of things to remember. Goblin...

To be fair, when was the last time anything preceded by "hot take" was actually a hot take? :p ... Toralf's Disciple is cool, but it still runs into the problem of "how many lightning bolts do you proxy?"

It's also going to be better in a slower environment where you can actually draw the dang cards. (Hot take: the Moxen and Black Lotus aren't actually that good unless you can draw them in the first few turns.)

Skipping {W/B}, {B/G}, and {R/W} because none of the options speak to me an emotional level: Pride of the Clouds Dimir Doppelganger Jagged Poppet Ulasht, the Hate Seed Selesnya Evangel|RAV Cerebral Vortex Momir Vig, Simic Visionary (It bugs me a bit that it's showing the Ravnica Remastered...

You know what might be a cool card to pair with Salvaging Station? Pia's Revolution Sure, it has the problem that villain gets to pick whether you recur the card or whether you get to Lava Spike their face, but part of the reason why that's usually a problem is that you're only asking the...

Which is part of the reason I'm asking - if I recall correctly, the problem with the card is less that villain can't adequately deal with it and more that "pay {2}{B} and feed a card to your rat army" was stronger than actually playing said card. In other words, does the fact that things...
