Very nice red hatebear, pity it doesn't trigger for planeswalkers too but you can't have everything lol.
In standard the biggest effect is on Vehicle activation but Clue tokens, Tower, Marvel, manlands and Evolving Wilds also suffer.
In modern and legacy it's much more powerful, hurts fetchlands a lot (although doing so does boost Death's Shadow) as well as a boatload of other things (like Sensei's Divining Top in legacy).
Alround solid card that is sure to see some play and to maintain/grow value.
You forgot the Legacy all star Deathrite Shaman.
Especially since Deathrite Shaman's mana-producing ability isn't actually a mana ability because it targets...brilliant!
Well, there it is. The chase rare of the set. You'd think that they would have spoiled it sooner. This card is insane in pretty much every format (it can even be pretty good in limited at times). It punishes vehicles, energy, and more in standard; it turns fetchlands into boltlands in eternal formats while punishing plenty of other things as well. I could easily see this card could getting pretty damn expensive over time.

This makes me happy. I mean this shuts off Kiki, Basalt, Time Vault, and most other infinite combo's. It also has the good old option of being able to kill Saheeli through attacks so I really think this is great. Oh and go ahead and use that Walking Balista to kill this.

In case I didn't tell you, I don't care about your opinion I just want your facts. And not the facts that make you seem smart. I want the ones that are actual facts.
See, this is commander playable. A versatile, cheap, silver bullet that can fight just about every combo deck in the format, and demands that ambitious players deal with it. We can definitely work with this.
An easy mistake to make--turns out that all Harsh Mentor has figured out how to hate out are the activated abilities of artifacts, creatures, and lands on the battlefield, not planeswalkers.
Notably, Harsh Mentor also can't do a thing to Cycling.
It's obviously a critical card in a sinister combo.
Donate Blinking Spirit. Activate Mindslaver. On their turn, as many times as necessary, have them activate Blinking Spirit which they now control. Every activation triggers Harsh Mentor, causing them 2 damage per activation.
Card's still strong AF, but I wish it could've shut down Saheeli
It does because they can't combo out if you have this on the field. Every trigger makes them shock themselves so they'd need to either remove this or somehow kill you from underneath it due to Saheeli activations.
EDITORS NOTE: Well dang, I guess not, I didn't see the lack of walker.
Cats ability is a triggered ability not activated so thats twice over it doesn't affect the combo.

There's gotta be something to donate lol. Are there any other cards with jinxed idol or Leonin Arbiter style effects for the lols?
Good god. Wasn't it a big deal in SOI block when red got a vanilla bear at common? Now...this? Geez.
I mentioned this earlier, but it seems like creatures are stronger this set just in general. Not to a ball-breaking extent, but there's a 2/2 artifact creature for 2 with a positive-to-neutral ability (by contrast to the generally neutral to negative effect of Runed Servitor).

anointed procession is another chase of the set it's a white parallel lives
And probably soul-scar mage but depends if this was overrated or not.

Heck no good chance of plummeting on pre-release/release day.
Waiting for later to get one for commander.
To call it a hate bear is a misnomer, since it hates everything with fetches. It will warp formats by dominating otherwise viable archetypes.
Oh Rider, my heart will go on...
Come now, its not gonna warp formats. It makes people have to play a little more carefully with fetches and dies to a stiff breeze.

I think it does play around Leyline. The wording would seem so.
I mean. for this one specifically, they probably don't want this effect on a permanent that is both cheap AND indestructible.
Yeah, something that insane might be enough to force me out of the already drenched-in-red scene that is Modern.
This ****er is close enough as it is.
Anyone crying about how "underpowered" red is should play Modern.

Yes, because Burn is so weak in Modern
that it needs answers to every single hurdle it faces.
People love to make fun of us Blue mages,
but judging from cards like this,
it's Red mages that are the true "snowflakes".
