I think Bronzehide Lion seems more interesting, since you have to keep mana up for it to be indestructible instead of revolving around 1-2 windows of opportunity to get rid of Fleecemane Lion. I don't actually mind the words on Bronzehide too much because it's just really "wg: indestructible...

This is happening in ~22 hours.

Dreadhorde Invasion is weird in that on turn 2 it's really good and dominates the game (in my power level) but late in the game it's almost dead. Sort of like Bitterblossom, but games tend to be shorter at Bitterblossom power levels, so I guess you see less of the variance. It's a great cog for...

I haven't played with these cards, but at a glance neither really seem worth running to me. The abilities cost one mana, so you can't get much of a tempo boost out of powering out an earlier Arrogant Wurm (though it works ok with Roar of the Wurm). You also don't get much card advantage...

Sweet, exactly the removal spell I needed! Aggro removal! I just don't like Declaration in Stone because of the lack of reminder text, and this fixes it, while also being planeswalker removal if one does show up.

You counted 364 cards that cost <=2 but you should be counting only creatures, which are 141 in your list. The best 2 power creature on your yard will tend even more to be better than the best 2 CMC because of the larger variance in power level of 2 power creatures.

Breakthrough is cool! I love the 1U Hail Mary version: Draw 4 cards, hope one of them saves you.

So I generally agree that it's fine to spend 3 mana without impacting the board in slow environments, but I kind of disagree in this particular case, because Dryad's Revival needs 3 mana just not to be card disadvantage. Divination at least draws you two cards and requires nothing in graveyard...

Ugh, so many DFCs that I want to run, but I can only add a small number because of complexity and mechanical issues in paper draft. I can add them to occasionals, I guess. I'm suspicious if Dryad's Revival will be playable at all, 3/5 mana for no tempo contribution is such a tempo hit that it's...

Is one time phasing hard to think about? Honest question, since I remember easily reasoning about it in AFR, but maybe I'm missing subtleties that prevent it from being just "treat it and anything attached to it as though they don’t exist" as the reminder text says.

The Fifth Draft (2nd try) will be on September 12, 2021, Sunday, at 4pm (UTC). That time is: 9 am (Pacific Time) 11 am (Central Time) 12 pm (Eastern Time) 6 pm (Central European Time) 2 am +1 (Sep 13, Mon) (Australian Eastern Time) Other timezones No need to sign up, just show up with a list...

I'd argue the biggest advantage is blocking immediately. Obviously a very different card, but it seems to be about the same ballpark power level to me. Nice to see flashback on it though, since it can be cast after self-milling it.

Heraldic Banner looks nice too, since it's more versatile, less explosive (due to not buffing toughness it's easier for the opponent to meaningfully trade), and like sigh said, works in other colors too.

Marshal better has less of a delta between the floor and the ceiling (which is huge in Divine Sacrament). The risk of a blowout creates a risk/reward dynamic during combat - do you attack/block assuming the anthem is on the board? Threshold seems to make Sacrament a white graveyard-synergy...

I don't think that's how it'll be printed, is it? Probably just a thing to avoid spoiling the story during spoiler season .

Clunky why? Because of the wording? It was easy for me to grok as an "attack charge".

Decayed is nice, tokens without causing gridlock on the board. I expect it'll play very well! Jadar looks quite strong, lots of synergies and fosters dynamic combat. I like it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defenestrations_of_Prague Showed this to a friend (my D&D group's barbarian used defenestration as his signature move) and she noted how the wood in the window looks intact, even though all the glass is shattered. Can't unsee it now.

Fireslinger is actually legit, but I don't feel comfortable pinging myself with a deathtoucher.

Prodigal Sorcerer Tim is perfect with it, though... These are not on the same power level :)
