Karma doesn't exist. You can't depend on it. If you count on it for justice or catharsis, you will find that you have placed your emotions on very unstable ground; and you will either repeat your disappointment in society over and over, or you will engage in a persistent delusion to protect yourself from that feeling.
i think it says so high on allies because more of the allies have ally on the card at least twice. so theres more likely about 10 allies in this set. would be nice though if it does turn out to be 21. give us some nice abilities so i can change my ally deck from 3 color down to 2. 3 colors is starting to get hard when everything is monocolor
There won't be 21. On each ally card there is at least 2 instances of ally (except for stonework puma).
The typeline. (Creature - Human Wizard Ally)
And the text (Whenever ~ or another Ally enters the battlefield...)
Plus, some have 3 instances of ally (...for each ally you control...)
So we're seeing 7 or 8 ally creatures, and 1 or 2 noncreature ally cards.
I can't believe anyone is excited about this card. It is absolutely unplayable. I wouldn't even play her in LIMITED. Easily the worst walker printed since the green elf one. Absolutely terrible.

Have a helicopter drop you off out front. Light your cigar with a small Indonesian boy holding a black lotus. Then bust out a craw wurm deck with no sleeves. Raw dog shuffle, loose terribly, flip the table, leave in a hovercraft.
This seems to imply that all cards with multikicker have reminder text, and one of them is a creature that comes into play with a counter even if it isn't kicked.
Probably the creature on the "flyover" intro pack.
Also, its interesting that "time" only shows up 13 times. That's probably a better measure of how many multikicker cards there are (I can't think of any way to phrase it without using "time").
So there are 13 cards with multikicker, and 3 cards that reference it or have two optional multikicker costs. The cards that reference it may give creature spells multikicker 3 adding counters. ("spells" comes up 4 times).
0/4 - 1
0/0 - 1 (guessing this is Convertible Turtle)
time - 13
times - 20 - 16 (reminder text for multikicker) = 4, 3 to cover the difference ("where X is the number of times ~ was kicked"), one on another card, maybe?
Something is definitely funny with the orb. I searched for "time", got 13 hits, and posted that. Then I noticed that I had "times" written down on my piece of paper instead, not times. Also the number was 31, not 13. I assumed I made a major screw-up in my first post and edited it to say "time - 13, times - 20". But if you also got "times - 31", and it's returning 20 now (it is), then I'm not crazy.
Updated up to here. I have not gone back to look for editted posts just yet.
If you've made any edits let me know in PM. Right now, I'm taking a break. I did skim through page 2 to see if there was anything that seemed obviously different, but nothing jumped out.

That's because the name of the card is "Arbor Elf".

The template for multikicker cards often uses the word "time" - "for each time ~ was kicked".
Indice for trap card text. Combined with Trap's = 5, pretty much confirms there's five trap cards in the set.
Probably the creature on the "flyover" intro pack.
Also, its interesting that "time" only shows up 13 times. That's probably a better measure of how many multikicker cards there are (I can't think of any way to phrase it without using "time").

Relatedly, "times" should be 20, not 31.
Also, Solmancer, it's "Golem" that gets 3 hits, not "Golen". (Also you seem to have left out the 1 occurrence of +1/+2).

First is paired with Strike, which coincidentally has 3 hits as well (no double strikers in the set).
Something is definitely funny with the orb. I searched for "time", got 13 hits, and posted that. Then I noticed that I had "times" written down on my piece of paper instead, not times. Also the number was 31, not 13. I assumed I made a major screw-up in my first post and edited it to say "time - 13, times - 20". But if you also got "times - 31", and it's returning 20 now (it is), then I'm not crazy.
Probably an Oracle or Nocturnus effect. As in, "play with the top card of your library revealed".
If you've made any edits let me know in PM. Right now, I'm taking a break.
