Shoopuf guy getting a card that might actually see play was not on my bingo card - though it's worse than Roaring Earth imo, people might want multiples of the Nadu enabler effect on a non creature without playing Retreat to Kazandu.
I don't think that I personally am interested in colorless ramp Vehicle, but I recognize the power's definitely here to at least consider this. It even has haste to do its best Solemn Simulacrum impression! It's not exactly Jens - you don't get a card in hand but you do get "had to trade with a...
"mana was spent" paying off again, this card is way fairer than its hypothetical version that gets a Treasure off Force of Will (in a laudatory way, honestly, even if the card's obviously weaker for it)
UR spells is getting all the cool cards this set!
(also another incredible card-flavor match, you can tell they really did try, even if Ultimate Magic: Meteor has MV 6 and not 8+)
Triple Alara Reborn is one of the stupidest formats I've ever drafted and I went MODO-infininte with it for a few weeks there.
Shoutouts to two great tastes that do not taste great together, Bloodbraid Elf into Lavalanche - as another forum once put it, "Bloodbraid Elf into Spellstutter Sprite...

Mechanics absolutely fit Edgar's flavor. I imagine most cubes that want Edgar, King of Figaro are looking at the first ability, but hell, live the Ral Zarek dream, whatever!
oh, there's also this little number, which I suspect I'll enjoy very much in retail draft:
it does its thing as cheaply as possible which is always interesting
Fiiine, twist my arm, here is my dog depicting me exactly when a new such sword appears, ears, tongue, and all:
(he had just woken up, you can tell because the ears are red, clearly someone talked about Buster Sword near him)
My ears always perk up a little when I hear "sword of X and Y except no protection", so welcome, Sword of Bus and Ter
I'm not in the market for a weird Chandra's Ignition flashback Bedlam Reveler trigger... thing? But if I was this would be it!
Big fan of this and Summon: Bahamut as surprisingly interesting cheating-in targets in slightly different ways (would rather Sneak Attack a Bahamut, but would rather Show and Tell a KotR, and so on)
