Considering how they handled old-border planeswalkers...

Recommission is pretty sweet, isn't it? I like that they're pushing Tiny Reanimator in colors other than Black. This is an interesting board wipe. I'm not sure how functional it is, outside of multiplayer, but it's certainly interesting.

You know what could be really cool? A format where "Hostile Negotiations" is part of determining your opening hand.

That's actually why I called it "aggro" and not aggro — to me, a big part of two (non-combo) decks "belonging" to the same archetype is that you can sorta jam the decks together and have the result still belong to that archetype. White, Red, and Black aggro have very similar gameplans, so you...

I like it — I feel like it's going to usually be "Mother Bear + Strength of the Pack", and that's a perfectly acceptable card.

If nothing else it gives you an artifact token? And you only lose a Powerstone if it dies? EDIT: This is a nice boyo. It's not necessarily a powerful boyo, but it's a nice boyo.

Legit question: do you want to stick to just the "big three", or do you also want to support stuff like tempo aggro-control disruptive decks? Because blue "aggro" has a strong tendency to actually be curiosity.dec or ninja.dec, which doesn't really play the same way (or want the same cards as)...

Kaito is honestly less interesting than it looks. A lot of times it boils down to just being an unblockable saboteur, which isn't broken or anything... it's just not really worth the extra overhead involved in it being a planeswalker.

Bushwhack - {G} Sorcery Choose one: • Search your library for a basic land card. Reveal it, put it into your hand, and then shuffle. • Target creature you control fights target creature you don't control. Compare: Khalni Ambush

It's a 2/3 for {1}{G} that can make a 6/6 with Haste for {3}{G}{G}... or it's a 5/5 for {5} that can make a 15/15 with Haste for {3}{G}{G}. Is a 15/15 with haste worth {8}{G}{G}? I kinda think it is.

Behold, a hidden reanimator archetype! Fatal Frenzy

Levitating Statue is such a sweet design. Like, they could've just made it so that the ability turned it into a 1/1 with flying, but just giving the artifact flying means it works well with other stuff and it makes it easier to parse what the card does.

Not seeing it. I'm not sure how to feel about this card.

Now that I think about it... it could be interesting to do a 12_456 cube, where there's a conspicuous gap at 3 mana and there's a heavier focus on the bolded MVs. If you did it right, you'd get a pretty natural split between aggressive, low-to-the-ground decks and decks that focus on ramping up...

It's also the card that's probably going to see some play with Awaken the Woods. Since, you know, they're both in Standard with each-other.

I raise you Tatyova, Steward of the Tides Embodiment of Fury Embodiment of Insight

Cut all 1 drops. Make the Keruga Cube. Cast your blue spells using all the mana you'll get from blacksmithy's tears. --- I had a weird ramble-y theory bit here about how you can classify Magic's macro-archetypes by how they interact with building up resources vs. spending those resources, but...

Awaken the Woods is pretty funny. It feels like Green is getting some really silly land-related goodies in this set. "Oops all Dryad Arbor tokens", "Unearth a 2/7 Ramunap Excavator for {G}{G}", and "all my lands are basic lands" all fill me with joy.

This is pretty neat mana sink.
