This basically always draws a card in the late game and doesn't force you to exile your stuff permanently. I like it!

It's also an artifact which I think can be relevant in red
Some neat one drops too
Seems very fair, but interesting. You can reanimate on turn 4, but you have all the benefits of being a creature, mostly attacking and recursion.
A cheap self-mill engine that becomes relevant later in the game. Being an artifact is generally a plus and it's a fun mini build around.

Oh look, it's this set's cancel-with-an-upside. In all seriousness, I like it.
New leylines! I like how they're both solid buildarounds.
The rare duals for the set (
/ / / / )! I'm... not sure how I feel about them?
I'm a sucker for cards that are paired like this - it's a shame that it'd be kinda hard to stick the two cards into a cube thanks to needing three copies of Say Its Name for it to do anything. That said, it's funny that it's a legendary creature that wasn't designed for EDH, so it all balances out.

Anyone saying "That's not how you spell Nimbus maze!" you're just exposing the fact you've never controlled a nimbus maze, only ever looked at the cardfile for future sight, looked at that land and gone "Oh man that's cool, why didn't they do the other 9 of these? Why do Horizon Canopy and Grove of the Burnwillows get all the love?"

Dominik Mayer always outdoes himself. My GOAT.
The art is seriously unnerving. Great job by the artist, and I really like the card, but I don't think I want to look at this in my hand lol.
I briefly thought they were re-worked Tainteds at a glance. I'd love if it were NImbus Maze or Tainteds for the
.Still pretty cool lands. Not great, I don't think, but they're new and always untapped.
When you get down to it, Gloomlake Verge and Blazemire Verge are really just cleaner/more flexible versions of Tainted Isle and Tainted Peak...
EDIT: Yes, they can't tap for

They’re right on par with the checklands, if not better! Not tapping for one of the two colors without help in exchange for always etb’ing untapped is a small sacrifice in a world of fetches and shocks.
They are always untapped.
They always tap for one color of mana like Basic lands.
I think they are a bit better than Check lands (Rootbound Crag)

I kind of wish the "Fear Of" creatures had a different naming convention, like "Somethinga-phobia". But on the other hand, the name, creature type, card type, and art on these cards tell cool stories in a unique Magic card way.
Hoping for the proxy community to create a bunch of cards that look like Goosebumps books. If I had any knack for Photoshop I'd be hard at work.

Untimely Malfunction
I dislike the aesthetics of this one more than most of this set, but goodness, that's a ton of flexibility! I'm currently running the under-appreciated Cast into the Fire and this feels way more exciting as the first redirect effect that has enough utility that it will essentially never feel bad.
The situations where you want to protect your spells/stuff, destroy an artifact, or get in some extra damage are all wildly varied, which is a key value in modal spells, and it helps that none of them are unreasonably costed. I'm beyond excited about this card.
This can act as a cute "kicker" to any kind of weenie-renimationer, where you first reanimate this guy and then use it's ability to reanimate something big.
Broken with Transcendence.
Some intriguing new two-drops (which is a criteria that I'm excited about):
Traitorous Diplomacy -
Instant
As an additional cost to cast this spell, pay or sacrifice an enchantment or creature.
Traitorous Diplomacy deals 5 damage to target creature. If that creature would die this turn, exile it instead.

You would expect this to already be a thing with stuff like Forsaken Wastes and Leyline of Punishment. There’s a million effects that combo with Transendence already
Now I want to build a cube where everyone starts the game with a copy of Transcendence in play.You would expect this to already be a thing with stuff like Forsaken Wastes and Leyline of Punishment. There’s a million effects that combo with Transendence already
Then everyone would die immediately
It would be for those occasions where you don’t have time for long drawn out matches. Also for introducing new players to the game, as they would have precisely the same chance of winning as experienced veterans.
This sounds a lot like my idea for a cube where everyone starts the game with a free Cudgel Troll in play!!

Everybody starts the game with a Siege Rhino on the stack XDOr…
