Yeah, I feel like "+1/+1 counters matter" should be approached more like Splicers than a straight-up subtheme — instead of going full Dice Factory, run stuff like Duskshell Crawler or Pollenbright Druid for their flicker value.

I think that that has more to do with Crucible and LftL being strong effects (my addendum was kinda damning Edge with faint praise...)

Both Edge and Explore aren't really "jam this in any deck that can run Green" cards. Explore is a card that's great if you have a land in hand or on top of your library, and incredibly mediocre otherwise. If the deck isn't drawing cards or tutoring up lands, I would honestly be more interested...

Make it a Knight and we can talk.

Ramp. It's for ramping. Recommission is for grindy value, though.

I agree that the set feels kinda meh overall... but I'm not sure why, given that I like individual designs: Distinguished Conjuror Alandra, Sky Dreamer Merfolk Pupil Synchronized Eviction Conductor of Cacophony Skullslither Worm Daring Piracy Primeval Herald Rampaging Growth Planar Atlas...

Both of these are honestly kinda intriguing.

In summary: intellectual property laws are nonsensical at best and actively malicious at worst.

Pretty much this. If they don't protect it and can't plausibly claim to not know about the breach, that's basically an admission that their trade-dress has become generic (kinda like band-aid or jello). In other words, they have to move to protect their trademark, even if they don't actually...

Oi, WotC, stop making cards that feel like they were explicitly designed for one of my weird cubes. Runadi, Behemoth Caller Dutiful Replicator In all seriousness, Dutiful Replicator is interesting, since it's a flickerable Populate effect that won't break anything if you make a token copy of it.

Fleecemane looks scarier than it actually is. It's basically a Watch Wolf that has two extra modes: 1) You can spend {3}{G}{W} after a turn cycle or two to upgrade it, giving villain plenty of chances to deal with it. 2) You can top-deck it as a 4/4 hexproof indestructible for {3}{G}{G}{W}{W}...

Oh hey, someone's stealing one of my ideas. Noice.

Actually... here you go! Maybe. I'm not sure I got everything. The trick was to search for a string that matched as many burn spells as I could think of, and then remove every instance of "any target" from before Dominaria was printed. Cards reprinted after that change have the updated text.

I did a bit of research, and it doesn't appear to be possible, even through the API. I was hoping that someone added an otag or something, but no such luck.

Golgari Thug, simply because it lets you get back good creature cards that you dredged over.

You're trying to support Green control (among other things), and you haven't broken singleton on Eternal Witness/Primal Command? I am disappointed. (In all reality, it's probably for the best — I would force it in literally every draft forever.)

I hate it too. And now I'm looking up what cards make 2/2 tokens... because you might as well have all face-down cards share the same stats.

If they're doing that, clearly you need to also have a Manifest/Morph subtheme in your cube.

What? Long term consequences for short-term profit maximization? I am shocked — shocked, I tell you!

I'd go with Magpie, honestly. Well, actually I'd go with Wonder as a finisher for graveyard decks, but it sounds like you're not interested in that.
