Sets (MID) Innistrad: Midnight Hunt

- Start date
I hate it flavorwise. This belongs to Eldraine, not Innistrad.
Imo I think ghoulish procession is going to make waves (unless it's a mistranslation).
one or more, so one zombie per turn
i’m honestly more excited about Locked in the Cemetery! i think this is finally going to be a tapper aura i feel ok running
Yeah it's pretty nice and pretty easy to get the effect going making it way better than claustrophobia and ice over (ice over still has those niche situations but in Cube it's pretty rare to get value out of a non-creature artifact remaining tapped).
It's probably right around the power level of Dungeon Geists and Icefall regent

I had been scouring scryfall for white discard effects in order to enable white reanimator. With the right supporting cast this grants the option of pivoting from a black based reanimator deck into white blue reanimator (e.g pitching a fatty and unburial rites)
I could do without the blatant self referencing. Did they really need to do the flavor text? Croaking Counterpart is just egregious in this department. Cackling counterpart meets Frogify with a reference to young pyromancer's flavor text..?

So BTW I love this card and I think it's a sweet design:
Its nickname is "Bridge from Above"
Its nickname is "Bridge from Above"
I think the flavor on Croaking is just another usage of the common idiom "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" and not a callback to YP.
I personally really like the parallels drawn between cards. Mending is a tasteful inversion of the original concept, the original flavor decried the abandonment of the people by Avacyn, this one shows a faith that is repairing itself after the total loss of Avacyn. Croaking is a bit tongue in cheek, which I think is great every now and then.

@sigh I guess YP and frog is refencing the same idiom. English is not my mother tongue, so I actually didn't realize. They're both clever now that you informed me. (YP is imitating chandra and immolation sounds vaguely similar to imitation.)

I don't mind them referencing older cards - this is after all a return to Innistrad. Maybe they've just done this a litte too much for my tastes lately with modern horizons and the like. For me the name, art, and the effect on the card gets the point across. No need to reference the art of the of faithless looting in the flavor text.
As for white looting effects; it's slim pickings. https://scryfall.com/search?q=oracle:"discard+a+card"+color=W&unique=cards&as=grid&order=cmc
Seasoned hallowblade is a good card on its own. You have the strictly worse version in Patrol hound and it falls off quickly from there. Sunscourge champion is not a horrible magic card, but it is slow to enable reanimator or other discard synergies. I have been thinking of including learn cards like Professor of symbology. The issue then, of course, is how to deal with lessons.

You might have to explain it again to me using simpler words because I don’t get it.
Here is the original Faithless Looting
And here is the Dack Fayden comic promo
Are these related to the newly spoiled Faithful Mending?

Nice observation! Probably, since it's a looting effect on innistrad. Jeskai looting dot deck?
my theory is that the exact church being sacked in original art of Faithless Looting is being rebuilt in Faithful Mending
Unfortunate they didn't use the same background angle (Faithless looting/Faithless Salvaging have the same vantage point from inside the ruined church). I still like the theory.
The broken stained glass looks different in Faithful mending, but I think they're trying to show the church that was looted in dark ascension. There are different artists after all. The flavor text is right, though - a church is not only a building, but also a congregation of people, so I'll give them that

that…. might be pretty deece. costs 3 after a combat trade
Don't want to sound blasphemous here, but this might just take the place of unburial rites in some formats . The in unburial rites is always slightly to majorly awkward, and it would cleanly open up a slot for can't stay away
For instance, my WB is recursive weenie aggro... which can't stay away works better in, and my GB is more midrange self-mill GY value, which Rebirth looks great in, without needing to splash to flashback Rites
, even from the graveyard.

Yeah, and after many wraths this will cost just

Just be careful that the opponent's creature doesn't know how to climb a regular fence.
CAN I GET THESE KINDS OF MANA COSTS IN BLACK?!
That would be too strong I think. Being able to reanimate after an opponent wraths on their turn is strong, and potentially being able to pay
to double reanimate is really strong. You recycle up to two ETBs, and start your turn with no summoning sickness.I think sorcery is fitting.
