There are a lot of big numbers on this card. I mean, I'm a sucker for Aftermath Analyst, so I'm sure I could find a home for this, but it's not really... interesting?

This one's at least interesting, even if I think XBB -X/-X isn't a good enough rate without a lot more going on

Get it, it's not Snapcaster Mage, dohoho Get it, it's not Chord of Calling (honestly expected a similarly referential name when I saw these back to back) ...we are coming closer and closer to obsoleting Actual Murder with 2B rather than with Hero's Downfall, aren't we?

We just got Quag Feast, which is guaranteed to kill Cecil even from an empty graveyard. I think that's my pick even though it's brand new so the "new stuff" bias hasn't worn off yet. There's also Flame Slash which I have always thought of as a small creature killer. You already have Sheoldred's...

Sunpearl Kirin 1W Creature - Kirin Flash Flying When this enters, return up to one other nonland permanent you control to its owners hand. If that permanent was a token, draw a card. 2/1 While I don't normally tell Kor Skyfisher to eat it, I am comfortable at least saying something rude to...

I have zero idea how to evaluate this card. Like literally zero. I love that.

this is a cool design I guess but mostly I'm just here for someone activating it after combat and wrathing themselves in hilarious ways (not a may! it's Wild Beastmaster all over again except totally different!)

"red 3" as a spot for creatures is up there with "white 3" in terms of competition, but between being a discard outlet and the last ability, there's probably a power level that wants this. Note that you don't get to play whatever it is for free, so it's closer to Laelia, the Blade Reforged than...

I honest to god thought these were two different cards [and you were going to talk about the other later in the post] until I got to this rant, LOL

to be fair, this is a solved problem (dice) now that I'm not being fair, this specific card doubles down on the question I had about endure in the first place, which is "why doesn't it make a 0/0 with X counters on it" - the Abzan were +1/+1 counter themed in Dragons of Tarkir and their Khans...

I just think it's neat.

Siege Rhino except it's Thought-Knot Seer except it's Skyclave Apparition. You know how they word things to not totally ranch your opponent if you flicker or sac in response to the ETB trigger these days? Well, whoever wrote this card doesn't. You could tell me any one of these was the...

I mean, Smirking Spelljacker is technically not obsoleted here, but I'd sure rather pay an extra U to get the spell now rather than when I attack, even if 6 is way more than 5... (but eat it, Draining Whelk, old friend)

Someone here will absolutely care that Unable to Scream makes the creature into an artifact while Witness Protection doesn't, or maybe that the Legitimate Businessperson becomes green and white while the Toy keeps its colors. That person is not me but I'm still mentioning it. So many tiny...

My response is along the lines of "I forgot that Zendikar Incarnate existed", though that's a four...

lmao it's gonna be a whole cycle of cards that make no sense whatsoever I'm SO here for it the thing about harmonize that interests me is actually this random draft common cute cat: like this thing's built for harmonize in two distinct ways and I could see that shaping card decisions in an...

Honestly, endure should have been "a 0/0 spirit with X counters on it", like Amass - they've done it before and then either way the endure card plays well with Hardened Scales style effects or whatever. (I bet they didn't do that for power level reasons though.) Harmonize is flashback with...

some other things that excite me: and the new mechanics are all things I'm at least marginally excited about for cube even if these specific cards are not it:

2brid's back baby awoooooooo

I think between Alpine Guide and the even more recent Horned Stoneseeker, it's more of a bend than a break? It hasn't been done before in this way, but red has gotten extra land drops on (mostly) bad green gold cards... alternate answer is: Nahiri's Lithoforming "no, because red can get...
