Individually - each of these spells would not or barely make commander decks. Thus his ability is approximately a strixhaven learn. The exception being black lotus - let me rewrite this card as a much more powerful card. I wouldn't play this - I'd take the eldraine King over this in a heartbeat.
WURGB
T: Scry 2, draw a card
T: create 3 treasure tokens. Use this ability if Gavin is not "spent". Put a "spent" counter on Gavin.
5/5
(If he could constantly tap to bank 3 mana he could actually be good/combo engine)
Just an FYI- I would have just given him the ability T: learn, but for whatever reason the rules committee still feels a Sideboard is too powerful for commander. The number of cards that are suffering from that ruling is growing year to year and I doubt that any number of magic bullets in your Sideboard is going to make burning wish as powerful as demonic tutor.
This should be silver border, and crossover sets should be dark blue border. They're really playing fast and loose here.
Generally I want every card to say what it does. I prefer reminder text on every mechanic, even flying and trample if there's room. I hate it when they ask people to either know it or look it up. The game has tens of thousands of cards. I know all these iconic cards, but even so, I don't wanna have to remember that Braingeyser is a sorcery, and I don't want people who don't know them all by heart to be less capable of understanding the card.
To be fair, you'll rarely need to remember that Braingeyser is a sorcery, since Garth One-eye makes you cast them as part of the resolution of the ability. So it's only stuff like Envelop that cares that it's a sorcery, which is a fairly small subset of spells (that might literally be the only one).

I think 1B, tap: destroy target non-black creature, it can't be regenerated is a fairly good ability.
I'd go do far as to say that with the just spoilt priest of reanimation there may be something here.
Hello most valuable card THIS CENTURY.
Is this a gag or something? That CAN'T be true as it is...
'buster
I'm missing something, what makes it so valuable? It's pretty strong, but no more busted that 20 other commanders I can think of. I presume you're talking about commander, because he's irrelevant in every other format.
So Black Lotus is not a legal card in Modern. Won't it be illegal to even cast a copy of Black Lotus in Modern?

How i feel about competitive players and casual players in EDH: The competitive are german tourists, the casual are italian tourists, both in a italian beach. The italians asking themselves "why are the germans here?" make a legitimate question, the answer is because the beach is beautiful, no matter the country you came from. The italians wanting to ban the germans are dumb, because if the germans pay for their stay and follow the rules like everyone else, they have the right to be in the beach. Hovewer, if the germans started to ask themselves "why are the italians here?"... they would be dumb as hell.
Hes not that good. Some of you cant see past black lotus. A huge amount lotuses power comes from costing 0. Its also recurrable. You arent getting explosive starts here

No. Legality is checked at the deck construction level. You will not have a Black Lotus card in your deck, and won't even have a Black Lotus "card" in play, as tokens are not cards.

Right, I meant has that card been revealed. I know the art would be the same. I just wanna see him looking retro.

This does not sound like an intriguing card, whereas the new one does
Shards of awful never
It would had been cool if Dakkon was making BlackBlade Token
Or something for the sword of the chosen and sword of the ages
we got some meme cards and others like fblt and etc, how about something base from numerous fanarts
or Nahiri doing Protection Swords Tokens
a homage to this numerous fanart and tribute to the deck
Anyway, the card idea itself is fascinating.
Is this a gag or something? That CAN'T be true as it is...

I will be using a very expensive token for this EDH deck then
Quick ScryFall search for "Garth" in flavortext says no. He's from the original MtG Novel - Arena.
