I like it. Got a lot of uses that they can fit on cards now that it uses fewer words (since they can omit reminder text on rares, which are more likely to be the source of finality counters) ...but it means they're encouraged to put more words on cards. So double edged sword I guess.

No, you can absolutely go under a morph - even Glory Seeker proves that - but you can't go under a bear morph very easily. Because then your entire environment has to be two power one drops or three toughess one drops.

The problem there is that (more so in Onslaught, but even in Khans and even to this day) it basically invalidates too much possible design. You can't make two drops because they compete with borph (that's the official internal WotC slang for it, I swear! Bear Morph!) You can't make three drops...

the GoodGamery preview of Quag Sickness lives rent free in my head (specifically "Vintage is the one where you can draw on cards to make them other cards, right?" and I can only hope more common previews are just mercilessly roasting the card (we never got another preview there after that one...

We did bring it up already but I also came here to post grandpa's awakening (probably still the same name, it might even make more sense that the old mentor ghost is called Grandpa in the actual language, we wouldn't blink twice at it in our language except we probably would) edit: oh my god...

Counterpoint: how good can your deck be when you have to dodge Discover just because you'll hit your one-of this idiot every time arrrrgh etc etc It's rare that I wish a commander card was a "real" card but I genuinely like this bite spell and I think it could have seen Standard play...

Game's super fun. And the best tournament card in every set is like the fifth most expensive super rare variant at most because the waifu tax is absolutely off the charts from all the collectors.

It doesn't cycle like Unearth and it comes back tapped unlike Unearth, but one mana's still a great rate for that effect.

I was ready to go to the barricades to defend Bat Whisperer as something memorable enough that I knew it existed! ...but uh. I had to confirm that was actually its name first. (also, they literally printed a Skeletal Vampire bat token thanks to those weird "Guild Kit" precons) also here's a...

Skeletal Vampire Metrognome shaaame

I assume he is either literally named Grandfather, or he was the grandfather of somebody famous (or just a famously long-lived friendly chap) and everybody started calling him that and it's his nickname. As another example, there aren't quotes around Mr. Orfeo, The Boulder even though he's not a...

one of these for every color. big fan, although I don't know if I will be putting them in because obviously space is tight. but I'm a really, really big fan.

yep, fixed cascade, but in TWO ways

The former. I want "flip over cards until you hit X". It would look like cascade and people would probably shorthand it that way, because people are lazy. Like me!

I would not mind trying to make "seek" work as a cascade-like (username joke goes here) - like, Seek New Knowledge could be cascade for two nonlands, put them in your hand, then put a card on the bottom. Doesn't have to be cascade as casting to be interesting to me.

I think it has multiple different kinds of turnover rates. We all still post here, but how many of us draft WotC-provided booster packs as often as we did when we were 18 or whenever? Nobody actually quits Magic, as the old joke goes, but they sure as heck spend less etc.

He says "new deciduous counter" though - lore is already deciduous from Sagas (actually evergreen at this point right?), and time is only new to being deciduous because vanishing and suspend and so on, though that is reasonable-sounding compared to most of the others.

when I was literally 11 years old I was casting Dead Ringers and having a blast I'm pretty sure the only reason I was able to cast it correctly was the name, the name does like 95% of the heavy lifting because god knows the printed text doesn't, and nobody else seems to have the same attitude...

This can't go on yourself! It would have been so sick!
