Love it, where's that from? Can't read the Artist

Yeah I know wizards isn't gonna print it. But its also probably not as good as a shock land. (losing your T1 land to Lightning Bolt/Fatal Push would SUCK.) Yeah its probably the wrong colors for haste. Needs haste because etb tapped duals suck. Dryad arbor is in my utility land draft because...

Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/custommagic/comments/7rz2uq/glacier_guardian_does_this_work/ so without prowess, this an untapped dual, can be bolted or wrathed, can block, can wear equipment/auras, fetchable pod target(ala dryad arbor) I think its fine, though probably without prowess

Well they did at least present the excuse that it was to keep standard fresh.

I'm pretty sure I can do at least the draft part then.

Well, they did attempt the 2 set block paradigm, which was also an attempt to fix that problem (sets last for less time, and rotations are more common)

Retribution of the Meek Though I'd prefer a version that was power 3 or greater. I think Also, some guy on reddit runs 8 copies of this? Feast of Flesh

i actually really like that

I guess it would be slightly better in aggro decks that contron decks if the exiled card had to be a creature. That would be reasonable, but still much weaker

I get the feeling exile 2 would make it too weak for my environment, but not sure. I kind of like that it works so well with fetches, because fetch + shock hurts. But I also like my double fetch double shock (you start at 15-17 life) environment

I'd be fine with it either way, I just wish they would wait longer to bring back expert set mechanics. Though I don't really have a problem with simple ones like prowess just becoming evergreen

I'm just way more into mechanics than flavor, and I would rather have seen a new mechanic than basically the same thing again with the flavor tweaked. Are there any eternalize creatures that start bigger and eternalize small?

Wow I didn't even realize they were to separate mechanics. That's actually sad. Running out of ideas much? I mean I understand they do similar mechanics, or fix mechanics later on and stuff, but that's just way too soon.

Angel of Sanctions Lots of value, but embalm isn't free. Gives creature back if Doom bladed, but "draws a card" when it dies.

Not situation removal spell - cost X kill thing or counter spell with cost X Cycling 0 More seriously, what makes one removal spell for fun than another? I mean on a simple level, doom blade is fun for you and unfun for the guy with the 8 drop that dies, but the example spell above is...

Was gonna make a little comment in the other thread, but it's totally unrelated, so I decided to make a new thread. Most of this is pretty obvious stuff, I'm really just spelling it out so it can be dissected. Read this theory in a comment on that Chapin article: "permanents must cost more...

I don't think the option to draw 2 is probably necessary if you don't have the risk of mana flood/screw. What's the reasoning for making the mana tapped? I kind of wonder how it would play with one action per turn: - Draw a card. - Gain an empty mana crystal (tapped land). Max 10 mana...

Thinking about ETB effects that don't provide immediate value. This doesn't fail the doom blade test, but it gives your opponent time to prepare for whats coming next, as opposed to an immediate ETB value effect.

I'm not sure idea what he's talking about with the whole "low power formats are good, high power formats are good, but medium power formats are bad" thing. Tangent: Power is not just relative. If every creature had 20 power, magic would be a very different game.
