A lot of the calamity beasts in this set have reach (such as our elk friend here) because they're so big relative to the animalfolk that they're able to reach and block the fliers without much issue. Think of them less like Trickster's Elk and more like Territory Culler: the calamity beasts are...

I don't really see much I like to be honest. A lot of these cards feel either too weird, too narrow, or too wordy for what they do. The most interesting cards, in my opinion, are fairly replaceable role-fillers: Repel Calamity Fell Stormcatch Mentor It's not like these cards are bad or...

The finality counter ends up making the play patterns a little bit closer to flashback for creatures, but the actual effect is closer to escape, which is why I chose that metaphor. Very cool card!

I agree! It basically gives all of your creature cards: "Escape–exile 3 cards from your graveyard or sacrifice a food."

Making two creatures and drawing two spells seems like it should cost ~ 6 mana, especially since it's a kicker cost for what amounts to a better Augur of Bolas. I could maybe see the offspring being {3} instead of {4} since the bodies are so small, but I don't think it's terribly overcosted. I...

I like this card. It's probably kind of bad, but I think it's neat!

Here's the full Hybrid cycle! I don't like most of these, but Pond Prophet and Moonrise Cleric look cute for Unstable Cubicorns.

White Siege Rhino? White Siege Rhino. This card is basically Timely Reinforcements on a stick. I think it's pretty good, but I'm not 100% sold yet. Don't be surprised if it's in my Cube for CubeCon!

Do you think any cards with the Impending mechanic could have an impact on Pauper, or is it more of a Standard/Commander/Limited keyword?

I think it’s very funny that we went from 3 entries to 10 in 24 hours :D:D:D

This is a Cube with 30 Copies of Gut Shot. Every creature in the Cube dies to Gut Shot... ...Except for 30 copies of Slickshot Show-off! Presenting... The Slickshot Gut Shot Showdown! Gut Shot Slickshot Show-Off

Battles would be cool. However, I think the designers will probably use a new subtype for single-faced Battles next time we see them. That's the main reason I didn't include Sieges in the list! That's my thought. Maybe it's like Embalm but copying a creature on the battlefield, or Eternalize...

Shirtless Ajani would probably fit the survivor vibe. I know that's probably not what you were getting at, but it's still a fun thought! Also, try to avoid spamming the thread; you can quote multiple people in the same post, just as I have done here! Cool, huh?

This is probably Heroic or Battalion. Given the fact that we've seen a couple of cheap spells that target, my guess is that this is a Heroic variant with the Nadu templating of "Whenever this creature becomes the target of a spell or ability..." I heard someone speculate that these were...

That's not what I was trying to articulate. Sorry for confusing you!

I'm not really sure what you're getting at here. No one is suggesting that planes like Innistrad should have cell phones, only that it's ok if new settings can work with that space if it fits the world. To be fair, we don't see much of the resource extraction on Innistrad beyond Woodcutting...

Yes

So I was actually pretty close here— the only difference is that Bats are WB and there are actually Rats in UB. I’m a little sad this set is getting Rat tribal instead of Badger tribal… but oh well.

We’ve actually had a Bloomburrow thread since February!

To be honest, I think it's good that they're expanding the range of acceptable levels of technology and societal development in Magic. Keeping every plane somewhat close to a medieval fantasy level of technology has the side effect of making the worlds feel stagnant and unchanging. Ironically...
