I will say that stuff like that is simultaneously fairer (more restricted targets / more expensive to cast) and more unfair (easier to recur / flicker) than a conventional Vampiric Tutor. In general I think they're good effects - when your deck wants to Imperial Recruiter into Young Pyromancer...

https://bsky.app/profile/jedepraz.bsky.social/post/3m3xc65gxz22h this isn't anything we didn't already know but please enjoy this bluesky post of Jean-Emmanuel Depraz cubing with Formidable Speaker several months before its release date, because it's doing exactly what you'd expect: discarding...

aww, I didn't even think about fake formats and now I have to add one HONORARY MENTION NUMBER SIX OF MY LIST Magnivore When you have to build your entire deck around the payoff, it better be good. And sure, Boomerang wasn't an instant, but they only let you play four Eye of Nowhere, and...

Target yourself, but then obviously "you has Book Burning." So then you don't take six OR get threshold. (I have never understood why that card's wording confused people, but I'm a robot apparently.)

No Mirror Entity or anything to target with Factory, right? ...actually, uh, wait until ECL drops, because even Mutable Explorer is 1) an Assembly-Worker and 2) makes Mutavault tokens which, for me at least, is a point in favor of putting Mishra's Factory in so that nobody ever gets confused...

I am already running a Ravagan token! But not a First Mate Ragavan token. My main complaint about that card is that it feels like the Ragavan should go away, but it doesn't, and in general I want something that relatively experienced players can get right on first read. Jhoira: Great when she...

yeah, I was thinking Hit/Run but should have been thinking Greater Gargadon (you know I played that deck with both and Bob back in the day)

look, I know I shouldn't add "one card that gives you both Riverfall Mimic and Clout of the Dominus" but... I'm definitely tempted by both of these at least a little - Eris more than Rielle - so screw it. let's put the eight drop in. What's the worst that can happen, I flip it off Dark...

Asking about gold cards has gone well for me in the past, so I'm trying again! Izzet this time. Cube link here. My current 3 UR cards are Third Path Iconoclast, Saheeli, Sublime Artisan, and Prismari Command. All three of these are fine.. but the first two feel redundant, and Commands are my...

Mana Tithe certainly is. I agree with this entire post.

skill issue, pick the interactive and/or opponent-deleting ones instead :D edit: omg or Xolatoyac, the Smiling Flood have you seen that cute idiot I thought it was just a Salamander but it's also a Serpent

the otter tokens in BLB are absolutely cute as hell - posted this before, but my wife's favorite animal is otter, and she doesn't actually like most of the otter cards in the main set, but: Thundertrap Trainer Token Otter plus the lil' guy from Coruscation Mage are 3/3 on her "awww"-ometer

I was fully prepared for some ugly Secret Lair garbage, and you're apologizing for beta Dark Ritual and Balance? truly we have strayed from god's light

but it's an otter

Not in any particular order. I can't choose between my five favorite categories of children... well, actually, the fifth one is an individual card rather than a synecdoche, but the other four are categories. 1) Mindmoil I'm a sucker for a rare red enchantment with a million words on it that's a...
