Oathsworn Knight Unbreathing Horde

Why the heck is "suspect a creature" a thing if they aren't going to do anything interesting with it?

The Clue set really does have some fun designs: Lonis is one of the few existing characters where I'm a-ok with them making her into a Detective.

The mythic's cool (if a bit impractical), but the Case caught my eye: Case of the Forsaken Feast - W Enchantment - Case Whenever a creature enters the battlefield under your control, you gain 1 life. To solve - You have gained at least 5 life this turn. Solved - Sacrifice ~: creature cards in...

You'd be surprised. One of my favorite examples is Pinocchio, of all characters. ... I'll admit, the hats are big part of the reason why my gut says New Capenna would have been a better choice... As for the "are there magnifying glasses on Ravnica?" thing... Magic's brand has always been a...

The thing is that "someone just went and got murdered" doesn't really need a law to justify why people would be interested in finding out whodunnit. And if you really need a place with laws, the plane where the legal code is both sentient and arguably one of the local laws of nature is probably...

Yeah, the aesthetic and vibe feels really off for Ravnica. It feels pretty obvious that this set was originally supposed to take place on a brand new plane, though I'm confused about why they went for Ravnica when New Capenna is right over there being the Magical Mobster Plane. But nope! Now we...

I think the Aftermath Analyst comparison is kinda missing one of the key advantages Satyr Wayfinder has — it's still a pretty reasonable creature even if you aren't playing a deck that wants to throw stuff away. Analyst, on the other hand, is pretty bad if you don't have other pay-offs for...

I'll take "cards that are going to make the EDH crowd lose their shit" for $200, Alex!

Nervous Gardener is pretty cool. Is it super strong? Nope! Is it happily a 2, a 3, or a 4 in a lower-powered format? Yep!

Velrun, that was non-literal use of language, used to bring up a previous, similar design for comparison. I dunno, a 2/4 flyer for 3 honestly seems pretty on rate to me, especially with vigilance and an ability that punishes your opponent for trying to swarm past your 4 toughness blocker...

Also, hey, we've gotten some examples of the new enchantment type (ignore that it looks a lot like Classes): That last one is... Case of the Medusa's Kiss - {B} Enchantment - Case When ~ enters the battlefield, destroy target creature that was dealt damage this turn. To solve - if three or...

This is a perfect example of a card that would theoretically be far simpler if they reused an old keyword: Sharp-Eyed Rookie - {1}{G} Creature - Human Detective Vigilance Evolve Whenever ~ evolves, investigate. 2/2 And yet they didn't, probably because then they'd need to put in the reminder...

I hope the funemployment doesn't last too long... ... Dumb cube idea (that I might actually pursue this time around — I briefly toyed with this idea a while back): a twingleton cube where some cards give you a copy of Myr Servitor instead of a second copy of that card (so the cube is basically...

Cavalcade of Calamity Impact Tremors Mechanized Warfare?

Not liking the post because this feels like cheating to try to get THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS REWARD EVER. The only thing that would change my mind is if we got a Siege Rhino response emote out of it... Siege Rhino

I really hope the Green sorcery that you can have any number of copies of is actually a cool build-around, kinda like Dragon's Approach.

I feel like Tectonic Reformation shenanigans belong in a different shell? Or, rather, we've got, like, four different semi-overlapping shells going on here. We've got (and I'm probably missing something): 1. Sacrifice lands to generate tons of mana. 2. Land reanimator (for lack of a better...

I think I'm going to go with my Simic and Selesnya mechanics:
