Once again. I just said if those were the options, then it is cool. I didn’t say super, super cool or anything. And I guess I also said it wasn’t random because it isn’t. You should know SOME about your opponent’s deck. You cast it and have the option to choose between protection from the...

I literally was not nitpicking. I guess you were when you changed ‘random’ to ‘incidentally’? I said if those were the two options, then cool is the right word. Don’t put your nitpicking on me. The big difference between the Swords of X and Y and this new choice protection are exactly that...

If those are the two options, then cool. There is nothing random about a strategic choice.

And I love it! (Since we are cubers and therefore do not care if a card is Standard legal or nooooot (Borat))

The mutate mechanic is a bit weird. The first mutation will probably buff the creature. The second one (if you should have one) will probably not buff the creature but simply feel like a sorcery spell with an “Whenever you mutate, do X” Aura on it. That means mutating a creature several times...

Well we are getting 1 Standard legal set and 1 Commander set spoiled in 1 week. Normally this would be spoiled over a period of 2 + 1 week(s). Also this might be why I am bias to liking the cards so much. They tricked me!

I never said it was bad or unfit for Riptide cubes. I love me some Decree of Justice as some of you already know. I said he missed 50 %. The “absolute floor” is not a Tome Raider with flash that triggers Drake Haven since a token is a lot more fragile than an actual card. Blinking it will kill...

Is it possible to activate it twice in a game to create two 8/8 Krakens? Here is a fair(er) Swords of X and Y I think this is both a bad card (5 mana to get it attached to a creature, same as the Swords) while I also think it will feel horrible to play against. So pass

So far there are 20 cards I am going to buy from this set! (Including a few mutate cards that will be way less impressive than in actual Ikoria drafting) I’m back at 8/10!

You are forgetting about 50 % of the card texts. But yes I think this card is fine. It is a modal spell which are often good.

Yes. But it is power creep. And I am against this kind of custom cards. But yes you would no be breaking any design restrictions or color pie restrictions. Fair game!

Star of Extinction

I agree with everything you just wrote except this (read above) You say it like it is true. Do you have any proof? I believed Wizards pushed for 1v1 on Arena too a few years ago. Now I am convinced they push for: 1. Sell as many paper cards as possible 2. Make sure all cards work properly on...

Or the even cleaner “Whenever you discard a card.” templating

Take a guess now. Live a little ;) I think mutate will be a succes in limited but almost useless for most Riptide cubes because it is semi-parasitic. I am now on 7/10 :)

It looks like there is a Naturalize with cycling for two generic mana. Should be same cost, same text and still instant.

Told ya! Just give this set until you have tried to play with it and you will get closer to 8/10 instead of 3/10.

I need this! This is what I wanted Thryx, the Sudden Storm to be but never was. As some of you know my blue section is 80 % flash speed to give it an identity and to make counterspells work properly.

The spoilers feel a little weird, strange. - We don’t have many clean, short-worded cards. - We get so many new cards spoiled/hour because spoiler season is 1 week instead of 2. - We see a lot of asian names. Kind of like Kamigawa. When closing my eyes I can’t name most of the new legendary...
