Aw... I missed the spam?!

Hahaha, I can definitely agree that cleave is horrendous. It may be my least favorite keyword ever for how ugly and unreadable it makes the cards When I see kicker, I immediately shortcut to “oh, kicker, so pay extra for an improved or extra effect.” That’s a useful shorthand, that makes it...

So, I think the reason the keyword and the effect are disconnected in the text is because they apply at different times. The kicker cost is paid (or not) when casting the spell, but the effect of paying that kicker cost happens at another time, e.g. when the spell resolves, the creature enters...

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree here. Like, a lot. Because reminder text actually is ignored by those in the know, here's the difference between keyworded kicker and written out kicker. Exhibit 1A {2}{B} Sorcery Kicker {R} Target player discards two cards. If this spell was kicked, it deals 3...

I mean, Mirrodin before it had affinity, imprint, entwine, and equipment as new mechanics, which is more new mechanics than The Brother's War had. Then Darksteel added indestructible and modular, and Fifth Dawn had five of those six (with imprint and modular appearing only once) and added...

Are there really too many new mechanics each set, though? Like, The Brother's War had only four if you count Meld (on three cards) and Powerstones (not really a mechanic, but does feel like one). I think it's not so much that individual sets have too many keywords (though some certainly could do...

To be fair, a virus was conspiring against them!

I think the ability is aptly named and am not planning on running it :p Also, I don't think I want an 8-line Mother of Runes in my cube regardless.

I agree. But giving white counterspells doesn't mean there will be more counterspells. For example, NEO had four counterspells, three at common, and one at uncommon. Give white one of those counterspells is all I'm saying.

I've been waiting for more white counterspells for years. I think the flavor fits so well for the color.

Actually, Suture Priest makes your opponents lose life based on their creature plays. These both feel like they are playing around in a very similar space to Skrelv's Hive, because all three pair a life loss mode with a life gain mode, albeit in different ways.

They did use a sort of similar perversion of white to show how Phyrexia corrupts everything before. Inquisitor Exarch Suture Priest

3/2's are better :p For real though, I feel like 3/3's hard shut down aggro decks, even though they are also great in aggro decks.

Archfiend's Vessel's wording suggests that you are right.

You missed only one! :)

Deer friends, doe you did nothing wrong, it's hart to look at you. I'ld give a stag-gering amount of bucks to get you back, but this is no time to be ruminant. Let others fawn over Oko, I herd he's a bully, so we'll leave him be-hind!

:cool:

Did you know that the art on this card depicts a cougar / panther?! I know, it's wild! :D

To be fair, it is your second largest section. It looks like it just compensated blue for your Storm Crow cube :P

I'm waiting for your findings :D
