On the topic of Landers, there's also: What an interesting pseudo-modal card. EDIT: I feel like Landers are going to end up in the same place as Blood and Maps did, where the only times they've shown up after their first appearance have been as little references.

I dunno, I feel like gaining Surveil 1 and reducing the life cost is a pretty solid upgrade. It gives me strong Expressive Iteration vibes.

Hymn of the Faller seems kinda ridiculous if you can reliably trigger Void.

T1 Loam Dryad -> T2 Hemosymbic Mite + Sunstar Chaplain seems like a curve to me!

It also has "Ward - Pronounce Mm'menon", which is a pretty powerful keyword.

I honestly have no idea how to judge the power level of Hemosymbic Mite.

Hmm... Cool bugs for the "what if green was colorless?" format I keep vaguely messing with. Oh look, Black Divination.

I feel like the advantage that Foodie Shrimp has is that it costs {R}{W} (instead of Ygra's {3}{B}{G}), so you can start doing food shenanigans way earlier. Also, that activated ability looks like it could offer a very aggressive clock in the right shell.

Am I the only person who has been misreading Warp? It just clicked for me that you have to pay for the cast-from-exile - for whatever reason my brain decided that Warp worked like Plotting or Suspending a card and you got to cast it for free later. I thought it looked a little strong, but just...

I dunno, I kinda like the idea of it being a super-aggressive 1-drop that rewards heavy black investment by letting you play it defensively. Think of it kinda like... suicide black 1-drop - {B} Creature - Example Creature Kicker {B} Haste When ~ enters, if it wasn't kicked, you lose 2 life and...

My problem with that kind of card is that WotC has been printing so damn many of them (because they go right in someone's Blurglenoth deck) that they don't really feel special or interesting anymore.

The funny part is that it would have been really straight-forward to complete the cycle. They're just 3/3s for 4 who give you the appropriate shrine trigger three times if they get overkilled. That's, what, six life for {W}, three cards discarded for {B}, and three 1/1s for {G}? Alternatively...

Man, that Ghost Dad article made me feel nostalgic for a Standard that happened long before I started playing. That should be illegal.

I will also accept a Pia's Revolution emblem.

Ah yes, the beautiful Übermyr. I love that guy. I feel like mass-reanimating cheap creatures is a different strategy than reanimating cheap permanents, even if they do have some definite card overlap. Which isn't to say that a deck wouldn't want both cards, mind you, but the idea is to lean...

Jason talking about Skaab Ruinator reminded me of a dumb micro-archetype that I keep wanting to stick somewhere (cards are examples): Selesnya "Reanimator" Sun-Blessed Healer Satyr Wayfinder Renegade Rallier + Guardian of the Great Door Serra Avenger Bayou Groff Talara's Batallion It's...

The duality of Riptide Labs.

Clearly you need to figure out a way to play it on here.

Man, if I had the mental energy to cube, a cube where everything is a 3+ card combo would be funny as hell.

Honestly, that's my problem with a lot of old border treatments - the art and text ends up feeling just a little bit off. Like, I think new cards in the old border can work, but you have to be kinda careful to only use cards that could feasibly be printed back in the day. It's also, like... you...
