Not at all, it's what @alvoi mentioned. If a card leaving the graveyard matters for triggers ala Hardened Academic or Gau, Feral Youth, then Town Greeter is just better with that slight change to the wording.

This sounds similar to the Duplicate Voucher system I've been running for a couple of years now. The original idea for me was inserting buildarounds and allowing vouchers that could be traded in for a copy of the given card (provided that you also drafted the single copy that exists in the...

Big Gris is sick nowadays; feels mostly fair with how much more efficient removal is and how punishing creatures are at lower CMCs. There is less of a definite window to run away with the game compared to a decade ago.

A card being put into your hand is much better than putting it on top of the library for gameplay. If the action of a card leaving the graveyard matters for you, then Lluwen is better. I like Lluwen as a supplement to get more self-mill going, but I'd play Wayfinder ahead of it (and Town Greeter...

Another vote for Flame of Anor. That card is has a great floor as a modal spell and becomes incredibly good with any wizard around. Being able to snipe the biggest creature on board and draw two cards is so powerful but still feels fair. It's the kind of card that feels like a reward for...

Yeah, between Cursed Mirror and Loki's Scepter it has become a choose your own adventure deal with what you want to push. I'll likely be swapping between the 3 over time as I figure out what makes the most sense for that slot. It's definitely more a Constructed darling right now with how much...

Tablet of Discovery Is this the mana rock I've always wanted to make Wildfire happen? One-card archetypes are just so much to play with and where else can you ever play Wildfire or Burning of Xinye nowadays. Even if it's showing it's age in 202,6 I'm just too big a fan of when the stars align...

Some truly awful art in this set. This might be worse than Dr. Who for me.

Only two definite inclusions for me so far: The Queen of Dale The white two-drop slot might be the deepest I have in my cube with so many options over the years, but I can see this one sticking around for a while. I'm a fan of passive hate effects and this does a great job of being a pest in...

It's gonna be a short one for me, only two cards after my first scan over the whole set, but someone get the Testing/Includes up for this set. I'm curious to see if it will end up having more hidden gems than expected this time next year.

Elffinity baby.

This card is awesome. I'm a fan of passive hate and this does a great job of being a pest in fair W/x decks against a plethora of removal or counterspells ala Surrak, Elusive Hunter. Even in the face of a wrath you get to benefit by sculpting your hand for a rebuild. More ways to loot in white...

I'm glad that they're using this sick art on an actual card. Seems pretty strong if you get to untap with it and get to play a wrath to clear the board. Much more excited for this set than anything else on the calendar this year.

Not a Star Trek fan, never really watched it ever in my life, but there will probably be a handful of cards that get there for me mechanics and art-wise like the Marvel set. I think I'm pretty much out on all the cards depicting human characters because it's too uncanny valley to me, but stuff...
