    This Hero's Downfall variant is an early contender for the best card in the New Capenna Commander set. While I've cooled significantly on other 4-mana downfalls in the past two years, Lethal Scheme has legs. First, this is never actually going to cost 4. You're almost always going to be...

    The flavor is that they needed the card to make a token when you exiled it and the 1/1 unblockable fish was the best choice. It's a bit anti-climactic, I know :(.

    That's nice to hear! I had Priest of Ancient Lore in my Tazri, Beacon of Unity brawl deck when AFR was first released and I ended up cutting it because the card was a huge underperformer. I'm glad to hear it has been better in other contexts!

    Correction: they made a good Priest of Ancient Lore. (Like obviously priest had applications before but this one is significantly less niche because it has flying so more decks at more power levels will want it).

    Good idea! Maybe WOTC should hire you to freelance for their templating department!

    Yeah it's frustrating because the card itself is super simple: the first thing you cast with treasure each turn has cascade, but it takes like half a paragraph to spell it out within the black border rules.

    *Looks left* *Looks right* :edh: Cool card otherwise, though. Seems like an actively fun inclusion in some "Live the Dream Cube" clone.

    Inscho's Graveyard Combo Cube

    :D That makes sense. Just wondering– is this from past testing with Mr. Treefolk or are you going off of theory? I'm trying to gauge what sort of "real" environment Sneak+Tree might work with since it's just kind of a cool meme combo with that nostalgia value which is increasingly difficult to...

    The funny thing is that the main reason why WOTC has stopped worrying so much about complexity in new sets is because Commander and Arena are increasingly popular ways many people are introduced to Magic. If those two things weren't so popular, complexity would likely be a little lower. To be...

    Oh sorry, it's getting hard to tell whether people are being sarcastic or not when they're talking about the power level of new cards. Ever since the Professor and PK started talking about "artificial rotation" of eternal formats it seems like people bring up power creep with every other new...

    How to make Unexpected Windfall an appealing card:

    The rebate still doesn't make it cost {2}{G} though, you still need to have three mana in order to cast it. The extra value is nice and it helps you cast some bigger stuff in Pauper (maybe in the cascade deck? @Kirblinx ?), but I this doesn't have the same play patterns that a {1}{G} with the...

    This is the Friendly Union Representative I was looking for out of the Riveteers. Thank you WOTC.

    That's good! Spark trooper is actually one of the first rares I ever opened. Just FYI I added an addendum to my original post, and I expanded on my initial thoughts greatly.
