I... hmm. I like this, but am not sure how fast it will start gaining counters in the average game. Also "one or more" makes huge blasts of counters from something like LftL not a thing (though it would still be two counters per usage).

re the green spirit, i like the idea, but think this is gonna be a LOT harder to make big than Pelt Collector which i’m already not running
Do spells with retrace "leave the graveyard" when you retrace them? Yes, right? That would make flame jab pretty "combo-y" with Willow Geist
I'm pretty sure they do, and I have cubed raven's crime in the past (I told you the relationship is unhealthy). I think willow geist's biggest problem is narrowness. It realistically only goes in one deck. The green growers are usually less picking about how they grow.
A playable green one drop for my graveyard cube is something I've been dying for...this can get out of hand pretty quick
You can expect me to do a deep dive post on Vampires at some point. My cube's the perfect home for it, so I'll have to.
Fuck. The protection is really strong. It had me in the first half.
I think if you're mid powered, this could be pretty good. A couple counters makes it a solid dude. It's maybe a bit too inconsistent, though.
Is this kinda bad? It's a BR rare, so I'm wanting to like it... but don't.
With one creatures its a mega expensive morgue theft, with two creatures your best creature gets morgue theft'ed, and your second best gets corpse dance'd. Not a great ceiling...
yeah that cards bad
This card is good in retail limited (and retail power level Cubes) and nowhere else.

Wish it returned the battlefield one to hand. That'd maybe be something. Or if the caster got all the choices. Doesn't feel rare as is, but maybe it's annoying in retail at uncommon.
These kinds of triggers make me wish for more Spectacle and Bloodthirst. Not too bad of an attacker early, throw it away later for your Spectacle card is cute. Cool art.

Bloodthirst does seem to be a mini theme in this set, FWIW:
Though not in name, we can't have that. That would be future sight complicated.

You know, if there was one color in which it's easy to pass without casting a spell to have your werewolves flip, it's blue
Have I mentioned how much I like this card?
“Someone”
We don’t know why yet but Emrakul chose to let them imprison her on the moon. It was her choice. With the way we’re moving away from anything Eldrazi-related we might never find out.
I'm really beginning to warm up to this card. Just the fact that it lets hyper aggresive decks and more midrangy decks fight over red cards (other than burn), seems like a hugh boon to me. I actueally think that's the real benefit of the flexibility. The other adversaries don't do this quite as clearly.
Ugh, I've been doing a good job staying away, but...
I'm In This Picture, And I Don't Like It.
That's awesome. Madness enabler and payoff in one, sign me up.
It reminds me a lot of Champion of wits. It has a more useful body up front and is lower power, but more affordable, the second go around. I think the upside for this one is that it goes in more decks. This could go in an aggressively slanted madness deck or a slower midrange shell. Champion of wits is only blocking, and you want the expectation of getting to 7 mana in at least some games.

This thing is AWESOME. Even if you don't run a lands theme, every fetchland, milled land, or pitched land is a counter. This thing can get big fast and can protect itself with its self-bounce.
Now if you DO run a lands theme, this thing is life from the loam 2!! In some ways its even better than LftL, because it doesn't tie up your draw step, can be used more than once per turn without draw shenanigans, and can act as a finisher in its own right. This set is delivering!
very cautiously optimistic about this card. all of the effects are very cool and desirable for me, i’m just a little sketchy about the base rate… i guess the floor is “3/3 trample, when it dies get 3 fetches from your yard?”
that’s…. pretty good! i think this one is gonna finally be the card that replaces Edric for me.

Yeah it has a very respectable floor, and in a fetch-heavy environment has a decent chance of attacking the first time as a 4/4 trample, maybe even 5/5 with discard shenanigans like chart a course etc.
I din't think about the fact that it gets the lands back when it dies or gets exiled. That makes it way better than I first thought! For some reason I just thought it was when it returned itself... after it got 3 counters... I guess reading the card explains the card :-D
