I find it interesting that magecraft implies that we'll be copying spells on the regular in that set?

Liliana as a wizard professor has broken my mind

Fleabag is so good!

I wonder how a manabase like that would pair with including some really high-powered gold cards? Stuff like Uro

I think I might be warming up to that card actually :) Seems like it's actually possible to craft an environment where Forcemage is a "one card archetype".

At what point does this stop being a stone soup? :p Wouldn't a hasty RG deck potentially cut this card? I'm saying this as a person who has definitely also looked at this card before! While +3/+3 is a lot of extra stats, it happens occasionally, and the rest of the time you have a grey ogre. I...

Hmm I wanna see the 40 card example deck, this seems very much like a fun penny dreadful deck rather than something that's actually possible to assemble in a cube draft as a player rather than a designer ;)

Hm the card does seem pretty sweet in a ninja deck though

I've played it a lot in arena, hoping it'll get a bit cheaper in paper after rotation.

I think it depends on what you want to do with your cube, Kytheon is imho definitely an "expert card".

Eh, you can still blink and bounce and sacrifice and do a lot of things with creatures left behind with one of those cards even if you don't have enchantment removal. It's good but it's not busted!

I agree! I think you can kinda have your cake and eat it too, because it's good to have a powerband that includes both a lot of "good" cards but some excellent cards. If you want a format mostly devoid of ETB effects, you can always include only a few to really give players those "bomb" cards...

I think part of the tension comes from the player role wanting to maximize the performance of their particular draft deck, whereas the designer has to balance all potential decks simultaneously. The shift from designing for every player, and being one of those players later on, might be why...

Yeah, regrowth can act as a kind of tutor in a deck with enough self mill! Cool card imho

I'd like to remind everyone also that a spell land is a "free" spell, which to me makes it significantly better than it would be otherwise.

Mirrorlake probably! It's a really good card, and I think it's a little cleaner than the creature because of "Partner" (which sure you can ignore but hey! I think it's a little cluttery).

Not a timeshift but oh wow! I really like the art on this reprint.

Hm, I dunno. I think reveilark was pretty damn good in power cubes like then years ago? Maybe less so now.

Uh this card is pretty fucking good actually, getting back 2 creatures is really good, since there's plenty of creatures with 2 or less power that are pretty techy. Grabbing a sac outlet and blood artist for instance after your opponent has finally taken some damage to get that engine off the...
