Emmara, Soul of the Accord Anyone ever tested this card? I like the lifegain tokens, but I'm not sure. She's easier to trigger than Pain Seer, but it doesn't feel like she replaced herself before you'd get two soldiers out of the deal. However, Pain Seer has been good in my cube for years now.

Meanwhile, I get excited about this sweet callback, available in old border:

Me too. But do I like it less or more than Malevolent Noble? Here I get a ceaper activation cost, but I lose the artifact synergies and the simpler rules text with less randomness attached ... hmmmm

Quite a lot of text but the first mode gives me hope, that - and while I'm typing this Rowan ninja'd me - there might be a nice green card with or for madness in this set. As it stands, I probably still prefer Gallia of the Endless Dance and Stormbind over it, and even I am not willing to spend...

Yeah, didn't think of that. Maybe one day, after Eldraine 3, there will be enough to make adventures a very cool, non parasitic archetype. I had this one on my wishlist :)

I don't know what do make of the card. Could this be a sweet buildaround? 2G Enchantment At the beginning of each end step, if you cast a creature and a non-creature spell this turn, create a Clue token, a Food token, and a Treasure token

Depends on the cube, but in retail limited, specifically STX draft? Even in the worst case this is at least a Su-Chi.

And the award for the most horrendous design of the set goes toooo ..... *drrrrrrums* ... Syvelun! So far

She's been quoted three times apperently... https://scryfall.com/search?q=flavor%3AAsmora+is%3Afirstprint&unique=cards&as=grid&order=name ... which is weird since I had it in my mind, that many more cards existed, in both, red and black ...

By no means, the Riverwinder is indeed a fine card and actually predates my reanimator experiment. I just wanted to try something more interactive and splashy, and I'll gladly go with the creepy Kraken :) Another fight today. Both of these are good removal spells with lifegain attached. One has...

If I can get Asmi for cheap I will definitely test her and her cookbook. Her ~madness ability is often worse, as you need to have something else to discard. But a one mana 3/3 is obviously good, especially when she can draw you a card (when you managed to draft both). The book is something I'd...

I have a hard time evaluating how good this lady actually is, but I'm suuuper tempted to add this package. Nice bridge between red madness and black lifegain, both cards at least solid on their owny and Asmora goes into a hybrid slot as well!

Now they really got me smiling That's a sweet build-around, as it creates a connection between the larger madness theme I'm runnig in temur colors, while also being another piece for the mono {U} mill subtheme. And scry 1 every upkeep is really good too. Also, it makes me really happy how...

I love the old school artwork. And it might very well be worth it in any cube with a decent amount of artifact removal, especially if there is also some artifact stuff going on on your side. Do we know yet if this comes in a retro frame too?:D

Since I no longer try to make reanimator work, I am looking for a replacement for Striped Riverwinder. The main job of this card us to be a nice top end for {U}-based control strategies. Being a big monster with an etb is a sweet spot here at my power level, but do I go for the devotion payoff...

Damn, I wish that piper was a 5-mana 2/2, I'd cube the hell out of it. However, at six I already have Marionette Master and my pet card Nightmare, so the stuff he's doing is already covered. And I also want neither cut the black Mulldrifter nor go up to four 6-drops in black. But it's so close...

They're not joking with this cycle

I just had some fries, thanks for the inspiration @Onderzeeboot!

Actually, I would love some fries now. Soulfood, you know? You just need an not empty board with this guy and one or two instants to take over the game. And as soon as you're the aggro, it also works well with sorceries. Your creatures won't trade, they'll kill theirs and get upgraded to one or...

Elemental Expressionist THIS CARD IS RIDICULOUS I just lost 0-2 against a guy who had two of these, and I weren't that salty since opposing Crystalline Giant got immediately hexproof two games in a row in Ikoria limited when that was new. Actually, it was worse. In this format, when you're...
