This is pretty great. Going to the graveyard is so so much stronger in black
My problem with giving this card a home is that we just got Shadow Prophecy and while that only gives you two cards and never sees all six it's also a mana and a life cheaper (and hitting two basic land types is easy enough for me to just be like, "it's cheaper, screw it")
While not controbuting to devotion is relevant in my particular environment, this is still an easy upgrade of the fringe playable that Fissure Wizard has been for the last two years. Super sweet common.
Yeah that's a great little cog for a lot of things. Even without unearth this is quite a bit better than fissure wizard; with this you have a nice little later-game outlet if you draw into junk or just want/need to pitch something. Any discard outlet that can be activated/played from the GY itself is quite valuable in certain situations.

This reminds me of Venerated Loxodon, but different. And COMMON, jeez!

or and tap an artifact or creature, or and tap two artifacts or creatures. Doesn't seem particularly exiting?

But it can also do a halfassed convoke impression! I do agree that when we literally just had Argivian Phalanx I don't really see anything to write home about in terms of power level at common, or really power level at all.

It has a new requirement/other variant of requirements to cast.
It kind of has both a high MV, also kind of has convoke, also kind of has improvise. It’s just a cool mix we haven’t seen before.
I certainly wasn’t talking about power level. A card never gets more ‘cool’ if it is powerful and created to sell packs.
It's a cool glue card in the environment (3 CMC or less + artifacts/powerstones matter).
It doesn't look like I will get the prototype card of my dreams.
I don't know how convincing I find his statement to be. Making an artifact without the artifact-frame also feels anti-retro to me, and I'm not really given the impression this was a decision weighted by any meaningful amount of research. Was there some outrage over the Bolas's Citadel I missed out on? And just from a gameplay perspective, I think it's a very poor idea to make two artifact-centric commanders, and then include a significant number of colored artifacts and then obscuring that they are artifacts. I'm aware that old-border fans are disproportionally resistant to change, but colored artifacts are already a deviation from older designs, I don't think we can treat the old border as completely immutable. If we ever get old-border sagas, I don't want them to strap on the straightjacket and find a way to force it into the old border.

The last one is the most exciting. I underestimate the power of ven lox to this day, and this doesn't add counters, but you can tap like, clues.What am I missing? It's a 4/4 for
If you squint, it looks like an Arrogant Wurm.
The good news: Curate reprint with Surveil text
The bad news: I hate the art
I like this common, though!

Arcane Proxy cast for 1UU is a blue 2/1 once it resolves. What's its MV in play?
