Mwah, protection and shroud holds for all players... expensive ward (uncounterable left out of the equation) is essentially hexproof... ward of 1 or 2 could be okay. Still, I would rather have a shroud variant of ward like the glasskite. If something holds for both players it makes the game...

Nice, I missed the counter part!

Well, technically hexproof is a subset of ward.... I do not mind a part of ward, but ward with something expensive (read 3 or more) gets darn close to hexproof. I absolutely loathe hexproof. I would rather have that the ward penalty also holds for the controller...

The scarecrow screams etb/ability creatures. I like ability creatures but not etb. It is funny with arcbound creatures /good old spikes since those get their +1/+1 counters...

memory jar why? See my post above

Yeah, but look at the cards which were in the GrimJar deck. Grim monolith Mana vault Voltaic key Dark ritual Lotus petal Mox diamond Memory jar Megrim I think the fast mana was the culprit. One tournament sealed the fate of the wrong card and it got retroactively added to the previous ban list...

Blue is the one which most easily can be a 2 for 1...

Hmm. The issue is that the opponent makes the piles suboptimal given the knowledge the opponent has... This often leads to 4 cards vs 1.

hesitation. It is not weird, just be careful it is a great combo protector

We haven't seen it written before like this is a fallacy. We haven't seen cleave before... Write it such that it is clear to the reader. We all live and learn. How it is written in the past does not matter. The original (kicker) one is great! Less mechanics/keywords is often better!

Quicksilver dragon

Welcome to wotc money grab bomb cards... In their goal to have no negatives for one player (the caster) they actually made the game less fun due to the times you could not do anything against a card... Even a very bomby card like worship has more counterplay since it does not present a clock...

My favourites Smokestack or variants. Or pox like stuff...

Spells/abilities only fizzle (gets countered) when ALL targets are removed. If one is removed the other two will return.

The monk class only reduces 1 colorless, so one could not have enough blue mana even though the second spell can be cast cheaper.

If they do not kill it, they die by the judge. It has vigilance and flying so in most cases it demands an answer. I like it a lot. Sweet mini game and it breaks open board stalls in an original way. It is fair since you have 3 turns before it starts attacking and when you have to kill it you...

This is a strong card! I remember reading an article of mr Rosewater on oddesey block and somewhere in there stood that threshold was not a great mechanic, since it requires keeping track of something you are not used to... Seems they made an 180 on that assessment.

I like them too. A word of warning, the apprentices of the invasion set made combat calculations very hard. To many of these choice cards will complicate the board tremendously.

It is true that changing zones makes it forget what it exiles. See the new legendary frog, it croaks it's way around this forgetting rule.

Not strictly. Basic land (instant) vs land (sorcery). If you have many non basic lands in your cube/land box that distinction could be important
