This one has always stood out to me, probably because it was the first Magic card I ever saw. It came as the promo for the 8ED starter kit, and the RG deck included Enormous Baloth, which also resonated with me--as it clearly did with others in this thread. It's not the most elegant flavor text...

Honestly, I think it's the fact that I don't want Man-'o-War to do anything except bounce a critter. The added blue isn't ideal, but sometimes you just want Shock instead of Galvanic Blast.

Oh, sure, the effect it triggers on makes for a cool deck, I just hate that the payoff is so big and clunky. 100% with you on that, and I agree that making clues would be super cool--tough maybe that would be a better Innistrad card? Some sort of detective that investigates when things are bounced?

Barrin has always felt gross to me. Frankly, the whole "do a thing, draw a card" paradigm of engine-building feels incredibly uninspired and on-rails. It's probably just a me thing, though.

arcane savant Spitting image The way Arcane Savant is worded, when it enters the battlefield you may copy any card you've exiled with a card named Arcane Savant and cast that copy. Note that the original spell stays exactly where it was during this process. If the spell you're casting is...

As an aside, Arcane Savant is a card I've been tempted to customize by adding the rider "reveal Arcane Savant as you draft it. You may reveal your next draft pick. If you do and it's an instant or sorcery, you can do the Arcane Savant thing. Otherwise too bad." As sigh said, letting the spell be...

"Wait, it's all Kiki/Twin?" "Always has been." Frankly, Arcane Savant is one of those cards that's hard to NOT go infinite with if you're including off-the-wall cards. If you're just running Faithless Looting, cantrips, and removal, then yeah, it's fine, but as soon as you include even...

NEW WYLIE ART NEW WYLIE ART Also a damn cool card. Probably only good for EDH, but I love the idea of running a Jeskai Heroic deck and using a Shepard of the Flock to save something and make a token. Or Dive Down. Or anything. It's pretty good for a 4-mana do-nothing enchantment is what I'm saying.

It's like the Gitrog Monster had a baby!

It's...small. but yeah. Not nearly as cute as I'd hoped.

Lurrus cub emote when? @Jason Waddell

Thank you! I don't know shit about the lore.

"Sunny," Lurrus sighed, "I don't feel so good." Sun Titan cradled Lurrus closer. "Hush now, Lurrus. Don't move so much. You'll open your wounds again." Lurrus chuckled, then grimaced at the pain. His ribs were cracked in a half-dozen places. "It's funny. I've spent my whole life saving those...

On topic: Aven Something {1} {U} Creature--Bird Wizard? Flying Kicker {R} When CARDNAME enters the battlefield, if this creature was kicked, discard your hand. Draw two cards. 2/1 (Not my translation) This seems great for UR tempo decks. It can beat face early and refill your hand late--why...

I've seen this take a couple times, and while I agree in theory that I don't like including mechanics that are this similar yet different I'm making an exception for Read Ahead and I think you should too (if you like the cards with the mechanic). The main reason for this is that Read Ahead is...

This is not a very fun weekly question, Velrun.

This is crazy. The cantrip is reasonable, if about a half-mana overcosted, and the scry 2 makes it a lot better than Growth Spiral when you really need that land drop. Plus it's any land?? I love this card. The off-color kicker cards are killing it this time around.

Mmmm More cheaper = more gooder applies to the body, but the fact that Maw's ability is cheaper also makes a big difference. Maw can also sac itself, can do so multiple times a turn, and doesn't need to untap, so my money is still on the Maw. Aaron is pretty cool, though.
