General [STX] Strixhaven Spoilers

This is a really nice unknown shores variant. I already like Unknown Shores almost enough to run it, and this adds a third ability that can shine in a spells deck, but still come in handy in any deck that has removal/draw/etc.
Rankle and Liliana have a new best friend. I love this guy.
Y'know, for all the "It's not the Harry Potter set" talk, they sure did put a Quidditch pitch in here.
Man Conspiracy Theorist's gotta go right into Ravnic's RG madness, no?

At least the rules make more sense than Quidditch
Yeah, JK Rowling may be a pretty good author, but she's a shit game designer.
The set is suppose to draw inspiration from many different school worlds. One is Harry Potter, another one is the real world. There are suppose to be many more that I have not heard of. If this information is true, then it is fair to say that Harry Potter is allowed to contribute with five-fifteen different ideas. Without it being a Harry Potter clone set.
Here is another Alternative Win Condition card for Zoss!

I'm mostly just posting this guy because the pun is so good.
Conspiracy Theorist is coooool
"Quidditch" is an odd way to spell "Football."

OK, that's a way more interesting card for my "one player doesn't get a combat step" setup.
Attacking Player: You get a point when one of your creatures deals combat damage to your opponent. You win when you reach 10 points.
Defending Player: You replace your combat phase with another beginning phase. You get a point whenever your opponent fails to deal damage to you on their turn. You win when you reach 5 points.

Mapi, I genuinely can't tell if you love Magic more than anyone I know, or hate Magic more than anyone I know considering how often you like to toss the rules in a woodchipper. This is meant to be a compliment.

The sport is called Mage Tower
There is an intense rivalry between the Colleges and they battle that out in magical duels. It is part of Strixhaven's special sport called Mage Tower. The rules are simple: two opposing teams meet in the school's large stadion alongside their mascots. There are three phases of play. Each mascot sits on a tower and the goal is to steal the opposing team's mascot and transport it over to their own side. The use of all magic is legal, except that which would physically harm opponents, mascots or somebody in the stands, or damage the stadium. Each phase lasts twenty minutes, and then a winner is declared.
Here is the video with the info
I will obviously include it in the lore thread you can find under Magic Forum -> General Discussions as soon as we actually have an article from Wizards on the matter.

At first I was like YES but now I think he might be too good even. He reads basically "whenever this guy attacks, you may pay 1 to draw a card" even without any synergies. And envisioning him next to another looter/rummager is kinda scary.
That being said, I always wanted a Battlefield Scavenger without the exert condition.

Two questions:
1) Can you explain the pun to me?
2) Why didn't they make him into a lizard wizard for christs sake?
Unrelated: this seems like a really sweet Rampant Growth Variant for anyone supporting landfall in green. Also, counters?

He's a Monitor Lizard
I really like how Tuskeri Firewalker plays, but it might be too weak for my cube. The ability on a 3/2 for 3 was good in KHM limited, but definitely not overpowered. Conspiracy Theorist may overshoot the mark because it's in a more efficient body, but if it does, it'd be more because of synergy with other discard sources.

Well, back in it goes!
