    Agreed. The Fascist Dinosaurs are pretty cool too. Testing thread is up BTW.

    I think the Guidelight Voyagers have a pretty charming aesthetic overall. I think they're probably going to show up in Edge of Eternities later this year, so I'm excited about that! Diversion Unit is super cute, I'm probably going to pick one up for my battle box! Diversion Unit

    See the problem is that Riptide Gearhulk is one of the best Splashy cards in the set, and our podcast only has 300 listeners. Get those numbers up, and we can get Siege Rhino 2 for Tarkir!

    Brushwagg Do I need to explain this one?

    Seriously, why did they make the mechanic about reaching Max Speed so dang slow? It's Madness, I tell you! Madness!

    I agree, keeping the Lions at uncommon feels a little weird from a power level/value perspective. I think in the context of retail limited it makes a reasonable amount of sense, though. Foundations draft feels like older limited sets where your deck tends to be a lot less about drafting one of...

    I'm more trying to articulate that most of these Timmy cards that do very little except have stats aren't going to invalidate "cooler" cards with cooler abilities just because their stats are above the normal rate. A lot of cute 3/3s with a relevant upside tend to outperform stuff like Regal...

    To be fair, the "Savannah Lions" that people are calling unplayable in Standard are Kellan, Planar Trailblazer and an old cat lady in training, not just your average vanilla 2/1. These cards are better than Heartfire Hero on average. Heck, I think Favored Hoplite is probably better than the...

    General [DFT] Aetherdrift

    While I understand the fear here, that's not really what's happening with this card. The simple act of having a 5/4 for 1GG doesn't invalidate the existence of 3/3s. We can actually see that happening right now in Standard! The last overstatted, easy-to-cast beater we saw is still legal: Bloated...

    Thundering Spineback suffers from the classic Ixalan "everything costs 1-2 more mana than it needs to and when in doubt, make it cost 7" treatment.

    General [DFT] Aetherdrift

    Finally! A new Riptide card! I like how this card has a high floor while still tying in nicely to a bunch of Artifact, Blink and Prowess synergies common to U/W. I think this is worth a test on my end!

    This genuinely looks like a good card for my Battle Box!

    This card in particular is justifiable at cycling for 3. I've just noticed a lot of the cards in this set have expensive cycling costs, which usually means the cycling mode is less relevant. As a cycling enjoyer, I want to activate my cycling abilities!

    General [DFT] Aetherdrift

    This is my kind of card! I feel like they were way too conservative with a lot of the cycling costs in this set, though. There's a lot of cycling for 3 and 2C, and a lot less cycling for 2 or C. It doesn't make these cards unplayable or anything, but it definitely makes the cycling abilities a...

    I think the cats were likely all killed by Bolas when he took over the Plane (or possibly even before, I think Amonkhet may have already been in decline before Bolas arrived). This character is just from before the reign of the Dragon.
