Kaervek, the Spiteful my thought process was literally "let's have some fun, this beat is sick, I wanna take a ride on your blisterstick" -> sickness -> Engineered Plague -> Night of Souls' Betrayal and here we are because why would you ever want an enchantment when you can have a 3/2?!

I read that as Yidaro style and was I excited for some new modal card I hadn't seen before :(

It really doesn't! Real Crovax, Ascendent Hero situation. here is the secret: Contraband Kingpin (it is much less good, but that fourth point of toughness is SO high that it and Golbez can be "survives removal" buddies!)

Linvala, Keeper of Silence She doesn't care that damage used to stack!

Oh, turns out I deleted the sentence about how customs is the only way out of it... but rest assured, I was miles ahead of you (not even first time drafters, I'd absolutely lose to custom morphs multiple times and be like "OH WELL", I'm a clown)

They did it. They made a card about collecting cards. -> also more Tiered

I suppose they do have modes, even if all the modes are "land". I guess I can let it slide. This time. But I got my eye on you, scryfall team. Or maybe MaRo. That guy needs more oversight anyway.

I started bottom-up so Unholy Grotto/Unholy Grotto made me groan but then Swamp/Swamp made me do an infomercial-style "there's got to be a better way!"

Those are both true (though the latter was harder in 2010 than it is in 2025 obviously) - but specifically Morph has a way higher supply problem. You can find an Abzan Devotee for every power level (and then some!) But even if you let Disguise's ward coexist with regular Morph/Megamorph, your...

Scryfall's got some weird tags and also some standard behavior. You can do is:dfc t:land to get DFCs that are land on either face. That'll also include the Barkchannel Pathway cycle... as well as every Secret Lair that had a land version of those weird cards with not-Magic backs (like this...

Exactly! If it was just on your turn it'd just be worded like Showdown of the Skalds, but this doesn't say anything about your turns, only "turns when a counter was added"... edit: not even, Skalds let you play instants the whole time, but you get what I mean.

Split a box of Legions with my best friend when we were 12, there's a reason it was the best-selling set of all time literally until Zendikar. Also, never going to put anything from it in my cube, because the power level is not there on morph in 2025. Gempalm Incinerator is like, the only thing...

I like the design of ability 1 here - it probably won't come up in a cube basically ever, since you'd need instant-speed proliferation, but the set itself has some stuff that messes with specifically lore counters, even if no instants yet, so I bet there'll be one (can't reprint Storyweave, but...

While neither is still in my cube, my two favorite Gatecrash cards taste great together even if they actually don't synergize beyond the norm: Burning-Tree Emissary + Ghor-Clan Rampager SET STORY: a week after GTC came out, we did a 3v3, winners split the cards as usual. it gets to prize time...

everyone forgets the scourge of standard, the terror of faerrors, the one, the only, the brave and the bold Great Sable Stag

I don't know how I feel about Saga creatures in general, but this is quite the dream to live.

My counterargument is that Eviscerator's Insight was 2/5 and that thing was absolutely busted at doing the Sneaky Snacker thing in MH3, which should theoretically be a more powerful limited format than a Standard-legal one. I assume Revelation tends to be a worse card in terms of pure value...

-> A lot of cards in this set all make the same landfall chocobo, pursuant to our earlier discussion.

Always down for a Fact or Fiction variant, even if Sorcery makes me sadder than Flashback makes me happy I just like legendary dog tokens, okay?!

I think part of it is that - more so in original Zendikar, much less so in BFZ but still somewhat - it's way harder to reasonably block landfall creatures that grow in toughness. And I don't even mean something like Plated Geopede where it has first strike! Blocking a Steppe Lynx requires you...
