Huh. I also misread him and didn't realize that he effectively swaps himself with a land. That's neat and has potential, though it definitely powers it down in a "normal" format.

Withdraw What if Peel from Reality got a nasty upgrade if villain is tapped out? I love this thing, and it's a shame that the rest of its cycle didn't age nearly as well.

What my gut tells me is that the way you'd make Repulse good in a format is just putting a bunch of instant-speed three drops in blue in there to make "hold up three mana until villain's end step" a supported play pattern, which is something that's pretty easy to do at varying power levels...

Thinking about the "have X lessons in your graveyard" stuff in TLA/TLE, how many lessons would you have to run for that to be a reasonable ask? I'm bad at judging graveyard density stuff. (I'm thinking of dredging up an idea that got floated around when Strixhaven first came out of making a...

The thing is that I felt like Korra handled both of those poorly - the character work didn't do enough for me to make the interpersonal relationships worth caring about, and the way the writers handled the Equalists left a bad taste in my mouth (for reasons that I don't particularly want to get...

Yeah, one of the things I discovered when working on this list (where I edited a bunch of cards to not be green) is that there really isn't a good way to go "yeah, I want 30 copies of this card". Tweaking all of the Land Grants to be colorless was a pain.

The messenger hawk is just really ambitious.

I honestly hope never? I stopped watching before the end of the first season and from what I've heard about the other three seasons (from a friend whose opinions on media I trust) that was a good decision.

Hold up, I have a meme for this:

A very sensible decision on your part.

The thing that makes that particular search really irritating is that promo versions of commons tend to end up getting printed as rares for some stupid reason. As a result, your search options are kinda limited (though you'd want to do that as "f:p r=r"). That said... some digging gives me a...

Bloomburrow felt really like normal fantasy to me... because I read a lot of Redwall as a child. "The characters are talking animals that do human stuff" is basically free as far as my suspension of disbelief is concerned.

I personally have no problem with isolated mechanics as long as there's reminder text and the mechanic itself isn't too annoying/complicated, but I know it really bugs some people on here. Like, Firebending Student specifically is super straightforward conceptually (and pushes you towards...

Nope, because they messed up and gave the emotional climaxes equal billing to random side characters that only show up in a couple episodes! I agree with you on worldbuilding > plot for Magic, for the record - it plays to the strengths of the medium better. I just think that if you're going to...

Yeah, of course the cards that aren't Cards are the cards that you want! This makes total sense. ... If we must give our grand opinions... I think Avatar was a good choice as the setting for a Magic set, but feel like the implementation got hurt by how WotC designs UB sets (unlike Spiderman...
