My ears always perk up a little when I hear "sword of X and Y except no protection", so welcome, Sword of Bus and Ter

I'm not in the market for a weird Chandra's Ignition flashback Bedlam Reveler trigger... thing? But if I was this would be it!

Redundancy for recent staple, Chatterfang, Squirrel General, a supremely underrated card.

There are so many incidental and repeatable token generators these days that hit the board in time to get value off Quina its first turn, whether for the trinkets like Ivora, Insatiable Heir, Astrid Peth, and Generous Plunderer or for creature tokens proper like Voice of Victory and Sinkhole Surveyor. Token generation can get out of hand quickly!!

I think I'll probably run this alongside Chatterfang, even though it's slightly worse and 3MV green is competitive for me, just because I really like this kind of effect so much. This is probably the one that'll kill off Dryad of the Ilysian Grove, who has been surprisingly unpopular lately.

edit: I am annoyed that this makes frog tokens, if only because I currently do not run anything that makes them and this gets to be yet another unique token generator.
 
I'm going to generic 1/1, 1/1 flyer, 1/1 artifact, and 1/1 artifact flyer on my next proxy order. Have to be careful to avoid anything tribal or anything that cares about color. Or house rule tokens to not have colors/subtypes. Either way.
Unfortunately this one cares that they're frogs :(
 
oh, there's also this little number, which I suspect I'll enjoy very much in retail draft:

it does its thing as cheaply as possible which is always interesting

I love it. I ran Dueling Rapier for a while, and it was pretty good! I considered Hidden Footblade seriously, because in addition to doing the same thing on enter as Coral Sword, as a haste enabler, it promises for splashier later turns. But I think I'd prefer Coral Sword to the Footblade all the same, because the 1MV difference in equip cost is so so good (and haste's value is really hampered with every additional mana you have to spend on it).

In other news, I noticed that the revealed cards for FF have already been uploaded onto Cube Cobra!! So I decided to do my first Cube update with Final Fantasy cards, as the set's more than halfway spoiled and I can kind of "lock in" the ones I like. I'll be trying out 27 cards from the set as of writing:

There's more that I'd like to find room for too, but we're starting off the set in a very exciting place for what I'm trying to shift my Cube to.
