Big difference is that Irenicus's Vile Duplication can only copy creatures that YOU control. Clever Impersonator / Mythos of Illuna would be much better comparisons to Relm's Sketching than Irenicus's Vile Duplication

Can't fetch Phoenix Down with Urza's Saga. Wording specifically says mana cost of 0 or 1, not the artist formally known as converted mana cost.

Having an actual cat in the art is quite the deep cut. This is a nod to the fact that Stray Cat is pretty much Gau's best Rage ability in the FF6. To put that into perspective, Gau can learn 253 possible Rages.

It really bothers me that they referenced FF14 Matoya instead of FF1 version. Gotta respect the OG characters! Especially since FF1 didn't have any playable characters with actual names, lol.

I specifically said "doesn't hold a lot of weight", which doesn't mean "worth nothing". While being able to play an ETB tapped land after casting the adventure is better than nothing, I'd still rather have the flexibility of a bolt land ETBing untapped than being able to follow up the spell...

I actually like Fire Magic. I play Fear, Fire, Foes! / Fuel the Flames in my cube and this is pretty inline with those.

Final Fantasy is also rooted in high fantasy and takes heavy inspiration from D&D and LotR. My original point is that both MTG and FF aren't stuck in high fantasy and have expanded much more beyond it. If you're not familiar with the FF series, FF1 - FF6 are pretty much PURELY high fantasy with...

Which I addressed here: Personally I'd rather have Sea Gate Restoration / Turntimber Symbiosis in the lategame than Jidoor, Aristocratic Capitol / Zanarkand, Ancient Metropolis. Again, playing them as a land after you play the adventure half really doesn't matter too much when all the spells...

They're essentially cleaner designs to the MDFC lands since you don't have to deal with the logistics of a double-faced card. That being said, none of these seem any better than the bolt lands since these don't have the option to ETB untapped. And being able to play these as a land after you...

I would argue that Final Fantasy is closer to MTG as an IP than either LotR / GoT / D&D. While MTG and FF are rooted in high fantasy, they've both expanded far beyond that.

FTK is still solid, but Pyrogoyf is on a whole other level, IMO. Scalability, targeting anything, triggering off other Tarmogyofs, and getting double trigger from clone effects gives it a way higher ceiling than FTK. From a power level perspective, I think Caves of Chaos Adventurer / Pyrogoyf...

This dies if it copies a planeswalker since it'll have 0 loyalty counters. This is why flipwalkers have to exile themselves before transforming into planeswalkers.

The previous time had nothing to do with Reddit (as far as I'm concerned at least): https://riptidelab.com/forum/threads/why-slash-panther-is-no-longer-a-vintage-staple.3685/post-121512 To this day I still can't tell if your OP in this thread was just a troll, ignorance of exactly why Slash...

For the record, I was well aware that I was being trolled.

Slash Panther was phased out years before Oko was printed (2019) because Fleetwheel Cruiser was superior. According to mtgtop8.com, Slash Panther has had ZERO relevant placings since early 2016. "Car Shop" MUD Aggro variants were running Fleetwheel Cruiser at the Eternal Weekend 2016 top 8 and...
