Triple Alara Reborn is one of the stupidest formats I've ever drafted and I went MODO-infininte with it for a few weeks there. Shoutouts to two great tastes that do not taste great together, Bloodbraid Elf into Lavalanche - as another forum once put it, "Bloodbraid Elf into Spellstutter Sprite...

I just think it's neat!

Flabbergasted that they're doing these at common. But on the other hand I have literally no idea how good they are so it'll be fun to find out!

Mostly putting this one here to complain that I am going to wish the last ability let me accelerate my opponent's Sagas a lot in the format where there are Saga creatures that I could kill early and make unable to block edit: oh wow it says one "or more", you can also retrigger whatever ability...

It says right on the card, he's flipping a two-headed coin! It's a plot point! Both in a cutscene of backstory (his brother Sabin "lost" the coin flip to see which prince would inherit, because Edgar knew Sabin didn't want to rule but felt obligated, quoted in the flavor text) and in a...

Mechanics absolutely fit Edgar's flavor. I imagine most cubes that want Edgar, King of Figaro are looking at the first ability, but hell, live the Ral Zarek dream, whatever!

oh, there's also this little number, which I suspect I'll enjoy very much in retail draft: it does its thing as cheaply as possible which is always interesting

Any Polymorph enjoyers?

Elite Inquisitor He may not have protection from spooky Dog Spirits...

Fiiine, twist my arm, here is my dog depicting me exactly when a new such sword appears, ears, tongue, and all: (he had just woken up, you can tell because the ears are red, clearly someone talked about Buster Sword near him)

My ears always perk up a little when I hear "sword of X and Y except no protection", so welcome, Sword of Bus and Ter I'm not in the market for a weird Chandra's Ignition flashback Bedlam Reveler trigger... thing? But if I was this would be it!

Big fan of this and Summon: Bahamut as surprisingly interesting cheating-in targets in slightly different ways (would rather Sneak Attack a Bahamut, but would rather Show and Tell a KotR, and so on)

I'm sad that Mitotic Ultimus is Arena-only.

this cube seems legit I love, checks notes Segovian Sword and Unclaimed Battle Axe

Do you want Irenicus's Vile Duplication instead? Just asking because a lot of people don't know that it exists.

I really dislike Sun Titan - there's power there, but it fits so poorly with the decks that want to include, and then cast, white six drops. Maybe if you could run the lick-and-stick with Phantasmal Image every game? But even then, if I can guarantee I draw Image and something my first choice...

Fling except a big butt or an indestructible idiot survives it. Bonus synergies with anything modifying "dealing damage" (lifelink! infect! squirrellink!) or whatever.

"spending four or more mana on a noncreature spell" theme is not just one card!

I don't know of another card to compare it to, but I think in practice, you'll miss it when you first read it totally out of context like here, then you'll cast it for the first time and say something like "all your stuff dies, your Blood Artist triggers and I take... waaaaaait, end the turn...
