Couple new spoilers today: The return of -1/-1 counters as a named set mechanic! A joke about Incremental Blight goes here! Proliferate and convoke, I like both of those!

I think I'd prefer Honor of the two. Have you considered Scout's Warning and/or Bandage? They do very different things, but both of them sort-of-protect your creatures better than either of those two. I think the novelty of playing Bandage might be worth it too, because that's funny.

I was 13 in 2003. Torment came out. You better believe it was both my favorite set and the one I bought the most of. My monoblack deck feasted! Judgement... not so much. And to this day I can't spell it with the E without hesitating and pausing to add it. Same as Dissension, which is...

NOT TO ME IT DOESN'T

Vithian Stinger! I love Vithian Stinger! (this is not a power level endorsement relative to all those cards.)

honestly I don't love it - I get that's it both Not Kicker and Not Exhaust*, but I think in general it's going to read a little more confusingly than either several years down the line. "additive distraction" style text. even if i bet it'll play real well because it's just two mechanics that are...

someday I'll have a cube where Ichor Drinker is playable or perhaps Sunder the Gateway

We're getting Marvel Super Heroes previews apparently. I don't actually care enough to make a thread, so someone else will have to. Sorry.

yeaaaaah I thought it had been banned (it's funny because lmao at the top 8 of the pt etc etc)

While it's not a pump spell, I was very pleasantly surprised with Tamiyo's Safekeeping in retail Limited. The ability to protect anything rather than just creatures, indestructible on top of hexproof to be anti-Wrath too, and the surprise lifegain to swing a race added up to a lot more power...

Top 8 is 4 Izzet Lessons, 2 Temur Otters, 1 Izzet Looting, and Ken Yukuhiro on Superior Spider-Man Reanimator. 7/8 decks that didn't exist/were significantly altered by this set! (that 8th deck is somehow not a joke, like 6 people total brought that deck and the same guy who won PT FF top8'd...

While I don't have enough reps to confidently endorse it, there's also Contest of Claws Don't forget that Collected Company Chord of Calling are also technically "interaction" (especially with the combat step!)

The Otarian Peoples' Front and the Peoples' Front of Otaria

Counterpoint: add Soul Diviner and then you have an excuse to add Dreadship Reef all by itself and make all us grognards happy!

The rate on Mentor was just so lousy: Boros Challenger Goblin Banneret Legion Warboss Tajic, Legion's Edge Nyxborn Unicorn Like, it has to be lousy, because it functionally attacks at +1 power... but none of these are where I want them to be except maybe Tajic (there's so many not-Rabblemasters...

Honestly, though I haven't played it, I think it kind of is! I would have preferred if Stormchaser's Talent had also gotten caught by the big Vivi ban wave (I thought it had been banned until I read that article, seriously! You can reuse it with every bounce spell, and then the second most...

Almost? Opera Love Song Also a bunch of stuff that does not obsolete it but is better and also worse Heroes' Hangout Experimental Synthesizer Zenith Festival

Here's mostly not what you asked for, but hopefully it sparks something else that sparks what you're actually looking for: Rikku, Resourceful Guardian Hangarback Walker Marketback Walker Walking Ballista Omarthis, Ghostfire Initiate Mister Gutsy Nesting Grounds Goldberry, River-Daughter...

Dollhouse of Horrors Definitely a pet card, it's slow to get going, but that's the only meaningful check on its power level. I have activated this garbage five-mana-artifact targeting: -Sigardian Evangel (and then, the turn after, Sigardian Evangel, and then...) -Griselbrand (sadly, never Archon...

Standard PT metagame breakdown is out. First place is Lessons.dec with Gran-Gran fueling Accumulate Wisdom / Combustion Technique etc. Second place is Otters.dec going literally infinite with Boomerang Basics. (target Stormchaser's Talent to untap all your creatures with Valley Floodcaller and...
