Brainstorm

I kinda like the cycle of enchantments that get bounced to your hand whenever you play a Dragon. Also, look at these bad girls: Strategic Betrayal Sunset Strikemaster That's one of the strongest edicts I've seen in a while, and apparently mana dorks are something red can do now.

If I recall correctly, "tutoring up one of my basic lands" is something that all colors can technically do, though Green is the absolute best at it and they haven't let blue or black do it in a while.

Stock Up is apparently seeing Legacy play. Like, a lot of Legacy play. We're talking "this is potentially a future staple" levels of play. Sol lands + fast mana are a hell of a drug.

I wonder when they errata'd that? It had to be after Bloomburrow, since Polliwallop doesn't have Affinity on the card (it's in the Oracle Text, though).

Really? Well, another subtype to go in the "never going to be used again" pile with Arcane, Lesson, and Trap.

I mean, that depends on what other red removal you're running, right? If I've already picked up Lightning Strike and I'm not leaning towards control, I think I'd let the Mortars wheel.

Mizzium Mortars?

Something to keep in mind is that players always have less breathing room than you think they do, thanks to the extra variance added by the drafting process. (I was going to go on a bit of a rant about people talking about "high power" when they really mean "high pressure" and how constructed...

That dude is nutso if you flicker it. I think my favorite design is probably Goblin Crash Pilot, a 2/1 for {1}{R} that gives vehicles it crews haste in exchange for flinging it on the end step. :p

I dunno, a 4/4 flying deathtouch that makes two 1/1s on ETB for {2}{R}{W}{B} seems solid, but exiling a card for each unique token you have whenever it attacks feels like a weird drawback for 2025 Magic. Maybe they'll print a card or two with reminder text for what "a commander" is at some...

This is the best I can give you, sorry.

Looking at the full gallery, something like a third of the Aetherdrift Alchemy cards are designs that could work cleanly in Paper. Like so:

Neither do I! Sometimes knowledge can only be acquired through doing. One of these days I hope to learn what a cube is.

Wait, Duskmantle being a zone is kinda interesting. I'm suddenly imagining milling your sideboard into your graveyard as a way to wish for cards...

Take a non-creature artifact, enchant it with something like Ensoul Artifact (thanks @alvoi, I had a bit of a brain fart earlier), then hit it with Neurok Transmuter It stops being an artifact, which makes the aura that was turning it into a creature fall off. Oops, it doesn't have any types...

Floodfarm Verge is probably the right pick... but screw it, snap pick Lord of the Unreal.

Liquimetal Coating + Suit Up

That first ability's wording is off - it should be something like "{T}, pay 3 life: Put three defense counters on target creature. It becomes a 3/4 Siege Rhino Battle in addition to its other types." Also, I hate that Battle Creatures can attack themselves. And, what's worse, they can be...

You know what frame didn't need all that logistical waffling? Sasaya, Orochi Ascendant
