Oh, right, there's also this thing from the Sultai commander deck: Welcome the Dead I look forwards to dredging Loam into this thing, drawing two cards, pitching Loam, then putting eight power onto the field, with good odds of doing it again the next turn. Three cards. Floral Evoker +...

I'm not normally a fan of alternate art/frames, but dang. (The standard version of this card does have reminder text for Mobilize, which is good.)

I was eyeing it for my Land Grant cube (which is eating well this set in general). ... I'd also like everyone to bask in the "this is going to be annoying to track in paper" of Krumar Initiate Forget "different cards in the set make differently sized spirits", this guy makes differently...

Might see play in Standard

On the one hand, it's a Sorcery instead of an Instant like most Thirst effects. On the other hand, you can potentially refill your hand for {U} later in the game. I feel like this is going to see some play somewhere. I really like Harmonize as an elegant way of supporting "run creatures with...

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...
