Sludge Monster :edh:

I probably should've included prestige board games in my price range. :p Cross-hobby pricing is weird, though. Spending $100 on a standard deck and $100 on Gloomhaven are entirely different propositions, since the deck has an "expiration date" in the form of rotation. On the other hand...

Are you looking for an enabler or a payoff here? If your deck is already discarding/milling stuff, I'd give the Angler a try.

A board game can cost anywhere between $50 and $100 these days. (In general, board game afficionados use the term in a way that doesn't include stuff like chess or Monopoly, which skews the prices somewhat.)

Dead Ringers totally should've been "Destroy two nonblack creatures that share a color. They can't be regenerated."

There definitely has been an increase in wordiness lately, though. Compare Chains of Mephistopheles' 50 words or Ice Cauldron's 86 to Runo Stromkirk's 95 or Cosima, God of the Voyage's 104. And, what's worse, DFCs hide half of the card at any given time. EDIT: Also, fun fact: even if you...

Oh man, I wish that this is actually what the card did. Spending 2 mana to make a bunch of artifact tokens would be wild. And broken. But wild all the same!

Geralf here seems pretty interesting. Not super powerful, but being able to turn Wall of Omens into (essentially) an Angel token is nothing to sneeze at.

@Morphling I think you mean Strixhaven there, if you're referring to the Mastery cycle. ... I'm mostly paying attention to this set because I like the pretty pictures, honestly.

So... Inner-Flame Acolyte? Swing in for 10?

As the person who normally bitches about that kinda thing... yeah, it would. The issue here is that Magic already uses the two "normal" ways of emphasizing text (bold and italics), so you'd have to, I dunno, underline the text or use sᴍᴀʟʟ ᴄᴀᴘs. EDIT: Or, heck, just use a...

Let me test something — would Cleave have been better if it had been something like... ? Pardon the crappy mock-up.

There is already groaning amongst the Standard players.

You got them the wrong way around. ... Wait, didn't we already get Summer Jace?

To be fair, I don't read the Secret Lair thread that often, because Secret Lairs make me a little sad.

"OK, guys, you're all going to have to check for Rötschreck." "Why?"

You need to swing in with Van Helsing to exile stuff, so it's going to have to be a slow sac combo. I like how they've finally started to remember that reanimation is something White can do.

First of all, why didn't anyone tell me that we were getting Dracula-themed Godzilla treatments? Also, something I hadn't noticed about Van Helsing here is that it's actually a reanimator card, and not just a weenie reanimator. Part of me now has the strong desire to use Savior of Ollenbock...

The effect would be way more interesting if it always applied to Villain's creatures if they are "alone", but it would probably need to be -2/-1 if it did that.
