    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...

    General [Almost Daily] Every Set in Magic, Cube Edition

    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...

    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...

    Front side's just a bear, but you get free seven mana bear into the bargain! Also it's only power on landfall, not both.

    I absolutely do not forget Reinforced Ronin. pretty sure I've literally never seen Lightning Berserker in my life, partially because it was in the same set as Zurgo Bellstriker which used up that neuron

    It's 3 every 2 turns which still beats Glitterfang! (don't ask about Fleeting Effigy...)

    If I want to be doing the W mode of this, this is the larger-upside "save your whole team" that I want (rather than Galadriel's Dismissal, for instance, though that one can just get 'em dead) so this is like, actually surprisingly close to the power level of trick I agree with. as a Final...

    -> If you really want to pay four mana to give all your Knights flying... well, you want Herald of Hoofbeats then. But if you're nostalgic for Kinsbaile Cavalier or something, you know. I mean, there's a lot more to this card (eat it, Gallant Cavalry, nice vigilance idiot), and the backside...

    I don't actually mind it from a flavor standpoint, I just think that "3 deals 2" is weird enough without a "No." before it. I think they would have said "#3" or "Number 3" if it wasn't explicitly "No. 3" in the game, so it's partially due to UB, sure... it's just one of those garden path...

    It's a Guttersnipe, whatever, the real funny thing here is that I did not expect the string "No. 3 deals 2" to ever exist on a Magic card Also at some point I'm going to be losing to Ancient Adamantoise and so sad and then I'm gonna draw this and you will be able to see the gears turning in my...

    Shoopuf guy getting a card that might actually see play was not on my bingo card - though it's worse than Roaring Earth imo, people might want multiples of the Nadu enabler effect on a non creature without playing Retreat to Kazandu.

    the random encounter happening in the background is gold, really good joke even if it's not the type of joke I'd expect to see on a Magic card

    I don't think that I personally am interested in colorless ramp Vehicle, but I recognize the power's definitely here to at least consider this. It even has haste to do its best Solemn Simulacrum impression! It's not exactly Jens - you don't get a card in hand but you do get "had to trade with a...

    "mana was spent" paying off again, this card is way fairer than its hypothetical version that gets a Treasure off Force of Will (in a laudatory way, honestly, even if the card's obviously weaker for it)

    UR spells is getting all the cool cards this set! (also another incredible card-flavor match, you can tell they really did try, even if Ultimate Magic: Meteor has MV 6 and not 8+)
