If you compare it to Shivan Devastator, this does more for the same mana. And I think the Devastator is pretty good.

This is a nice, simple two drop. I don't like the flavor at all, but mechanically it's a nice addition to the mix. I'll definitely pick up this and Treasure Dredger, which is another nice simple two drop mentioned earlier.

I liked blocks in Mirroron, Ravnica, Time Spiral, and Lorwyn/Shadowmoor. Blocks were a boon for all of those, IMO. I wasn't active during Invasion block, but that one seems cool, too. Scars of Mirrodin block was medium, but I thought New Phyrexia was a great 3rd set. Eldritch Moon was a cool...

I am aware that it is an existing token that previously was used on one card which happens to be overly complicated and underwhelming. They did 1/1 spirits and 2/2 spirits within the same ascendancy cycle - not their finest moment. If you like token variety, that's cool. Different players get...

2/2 flying spirits instead of 1/1? That's stupid. I like the 1/1 blue flying looter for 1, though. I'll spend a quarter on that card when the set comes out.

Myr Servitor and no Sage of Lat-Nam in sight. Honestly, when those two cards were both in Standard (8ED/MRD/CHK), I chump blocked with and sacrificed quite a few Myr Servitors to the sage. It was fun.

Yeah, I love that Ornithopter card. This is the first Alchemy card that gives me a pang of desire.

Next up is Dex Supreme One Row box. I went with this over The Game Chest (same size but with 3 compartments and some removable 80 card boxes). Supreme One Row is cheaper, and it annoys me when internal dividers can't be adjusted to my liking. It's made of nice materials, and it doesn't have the...

I view Modern Horizons as Time Spiral sets where they have a chance to bring back mechanics and flavor references from the past that don't easily fit elsewhere. That yields some neat stuff, like Hell Mongrell and Ornithopter of Paradise and Monoskelion and Ephemerate . It's different and mostly...

God, yes. Wizards should do "The Great Token Type Update" similar to the great creature type update from 15 or so years ago.

Enters the Battlefield has been clunky wording since the day they switched to it. I don't mind the change, but it's an annoyance to have all these thousands of cards that are all worded differently than new ones coming out. I wish they figured out years ago that one word is less than three.

I wish they would just stop with the set symbol watermarks on reprints in these sets. I just threw some shade at fetch lands in the other thread... but I'm gonna buy some of these new ones.

I'd give Chris's post multiple likes if I could. Agreed; I had thought of that. That's why above I suggested that one could let drafters trade in a dual land for something else that shares a color. Now the dual land is itself a voucher that can go into the deck as one of 7 of the 10 dual...

I think your cube was the thing that nudged me to order the proxies. I've been meaning to take a deep dive into that cube, because it seems awesome, and you're designing from a philosophical starting point that I like a lot.

Hell to Pay is pretty cool! I'm glad they keep printing variants on red X damage spells. Blaze is too weak, so that leaves room to keep adding bonuses to the card to see how it plays.
