I'm always a fan of open-ended cards, so the flexibility of the provisioner is going to be my vote. Nissa (edit: stupid autocorrect) is great if you're hunting for a particular elemental; I think the ideal use case is to use it to hunt for an Omnath variant or something of that ilk?

No love for these? jwari disruption Hagra mauling spikefield hazard Skyclave cleric Jwari Disruption is Censor that's guaranteed to draw an Island. Mauling is poor rate, but it and the hazard can both kill things. Skyclave Cleric is a great defensive tool for decks that need to hit their land...

Plays really well with ninjas, too. Hmm...

I'm willing to try it! I had thought it might be a bit too clunky, but didn't realize that it could be a single-target fog on defense as well. Thanks Train and LadyMapi!

Not to be a turbo-nerd, but I think a breakdown of the realm's power structure would likely lead to more battles, not fewer.

Thanks all for helping me clarify this! Agreed that instant speed and up-front power is huge. I'll probably make the following changes: Herald of Anafenza -> Recruitment Officer Infantry Veteran -> Dauntless Bodyguard + Icatian Javelineers as a mediocre yet tolerable blink/reanimation target.

Herald of Anafenza Recruitment officer Time to pointlessly debate one-drops! These two seem to fill the same role of lategame mana sink for an aggro deck that's otherwise stalled out. I like Herald because it goes both wide and tall, but I like the Officer because she starts bigger and has more...

Whoa whoa whoa, you're saying that you don't think we'll see battles in the set about knights? I think Eldraine is more about individual knights questing than big battles à la Agincourt, but even Arthurian legends culminate in a battle. That seems a far more natural home for them than in Ixalan.

I run it and like it! It's a fun payoff for doing things like playing Faithless Looting.

Maybe I just had a weird batch? Mine definitely didn't smell like mtg cards, more like damp gym socks stuck in a plastic bag overnight.

That's dope. It's a lot of text but with that it's a windmill slam for sure as it fits into the space of being hard to deal with but not unkillable.

This may just be a me problem, but I find that cards from MPC both reek of something like BO and irritate my fingertips for some reason. They're fantastic once sleeved, but I cannot fathom handling them unsleeved. This may just be me, though, so take it with a grain of salt.

There's some good stuff in here, but so far I'm interested in almost none of it. The one exception is Ayara's Oathsworn, a ?/? (Probably 1/1, unfortunately) (Onderzeeboot confirmed it as a 2/2, which is great news!) for {1}{B} with menace that gains a +1/+1 counter when it connects with a player...

Lmao, love the implications of this typo. Agreed that Nettlecyst is very strong and that two is likely egregious here. I've found one to be borderline in my own midpower cube.

Thragtusk has the fewest words by a fairly large margin and the most interesting edge cases.

I agree intellectually that keeping sets mechanically distinct is important, but I'd rather seem some "honorary evergreen" mechanics like Surveil, Cycling, Madness, etc. made officially evergreen rather than have to suffer through things Kogla and Yidaro trying very very hard to not have the...

Delirium again! It missed the mark a little bit in MH2 apart from DRC, but it's always an interesting puzzle. Cycling doesn't need mechanical support, it's just good on it own. Needs more cards, though Dash is another fun puzzle. Adventure just needs more good cards. Seconding Retrace and...

I imagine that you can go infinite with Fentwig in some way. That's a good thing; I like my aggro 2/1s for 1 to have uses outside of aggro decks. Blossoming courage is an interesting one in that it really changes how an opponent has to time their spells. If you have other free/free-ish spells...

I didn't even know that that was an option!
