Ognis, the Dragon's Lash Sonic the Hedgehog Shadow the Hedgehog

Of the two, I'd prefer Claws, because it lets me get the card while I'm hating on the graveyard... but, for the same reason, my actual selection might end up being Relic of Progenitus? Depending on how many cares-about-bauble-and-graveyard things you have. There's a surprisingly large number of...

meh, still lets them block once, so it's no Sleep Magic / Bind the Monster, etc

I think it's going to end games relatively regularly in retail, though it's strange that it really would like to give itself haste so you have to play it a land drop later than you otherwise would. If Spacecraft are going to be at all playable, this format's going to be sloooooooooow and...

...uncommon.

Also this set has - so far! - exile wrath, UB wrath, toughness X or less wrath, half-wrath-half-insurrection... and we got two of these today and I hadn't seen the third yet.

Look. I know I keep saying it's The Stuffy Doll Set. I know. But.

I don't actually know how much better "surveil 1, then draw 2" is than "draw 2", but I think it's a fair amount? Losing 1 life instead of 2 is whatever, but the surveil makes it like draw 2.5 most of the time, since you usually either actively want land or actively want nonland, right?

...this really is "the Stuffy Doll set", huh? Wild. Noteworthy to me and nobody else: this says "draw another card", a phrase which previously has been on exactly two commander cards and one un-card. (good luck getting that card tag to work properly, self) Wonder if that'll be the standard...

Don't forget Guiding Voice if you want to be doing that! Everyone gets so focused on Learning a Lesson that they forget it can just be a rummage. (I was briefly playing Feather, the Redeemed on Arena.)

so yes, but also, this has some real "we printed half a split card" energy

It also has 2 toughness, which means you can Recruiter of the Guard for it! It's the perfect printed size to work with almost everything.

Some cool stuff from the stream today:

eat shit, Crowned Ceratok (the single Magic Discord server I'm in absolutely loves to tell things to "eat shit" during spoiler season, we get a lot fewer "eat steak" which is the opposite but we still do get 'em sometimes)

And since I guess this thread isn't just "Seeker's Storytime": ALA was when I first made my cube. I wanted a strictly even number of gold cards, meaning that the bar was lower in every conceivable way: Temporal Spring Sarkhan Vol The former is the least fun common I've ever cast in my life...

Spiteful Prankster is strictly better! (but it's never been printed in foil or in a "real" draftable set, so if you value either of those... it's me. shiny. shinyshinyshiny.) The thing I have nostalgia for about Shards of Alara specifically is that - before Alara Reborn came out, because the...

I think I usually want Bitter Reunion over this (harder card type for delirium/goyfs, more relevant activation in the decks doing filthy things), but that's not me saying this isn't nice. Just that I want to do the filthy things instead of the grindy ones. I have fond memories of Chained to...

This one gets its own standalone post: I have no idea how good this card is. My first reaction was "it cheats other Spacecraft", but it doesn't - while it animates them, it doesn't give them the counters, so they don't have the abilities you're actually interested in cheating your way to...

Compared to almost all the other Spacecraft we've seen so far, I'm interested in this. Giving up 2 damage for a 1W Anthem - so as early as turn 2 with a Savannah Lions, which is the rate these days - is acceptable! Then later you can maybe ever make it a creature, or have synergies with charge...

Oh, it's an Angel. Giada, Font of Hope fans, there you go, WotC finally just threw up their hands and said "screw it, we're in space" rather than demanding going full Segovian Angel every time to get that creature type. (I do wonder if this is a trend, because they've talked about how hard it...
