Our next mythic Calamity Beast is the Flood Gar itself. Watch it and your ability to cast more spells and more expensive spells grow as your land sink beneath the waves.
The final ability is good but I'm disappointed that the flood counter does not *replace* the land type. On your own lands, given the mana cost of Eluge, it is very likely your lands already are islands. I guess slowly color-screwing your opponent would have been too good.
Sounds like Monoblue is gonna be back in Standard, Haughty Djinn and Tolarian Terror are still with us, plus Flow of Knowledge, losing Consider is annoying but this guy looks promising, if you get to untap and attack you'd be able to cast hard counters for just U, which is gonna be fun.
Confused by the wording. As far as I know reducing the cost of a 3R spell by U does not reduce its cost to 2R or was this changed? This has implications for Edgewalker.

It does reduce it to 2R, it reduces the cost by either U or 1.
Seems fun as a mono U commander. Flood counters will stick around as you recast it and it's PT scales with your lands as its gets more expensive. Big fish smash.

Edgewalker explicitly states that it doesn't reduce generic costs as a specific stipulation on its own effect. The way this new card works is just how cost reduction normally works without that stipulation. In other words, there has not been a rule change.
Neat! The first card (in paper, at least, I dunno about digital only) to reduce colored or generic mana costs! The previous card either only reduced generic, their own limited mana cost, or were Morophon, the Boundless, Ragemonger, Edgewalker, and Vorthos, Steward of Myth, which explicitly only reduced the colored mana costs.

Oh... Well, reading the damn card does work sometimes, huh.

Good catch. I had always thought that text about generic on edgewalker was already reminder text in parenthesis, but now I see that it isn't. Thanks!
This card is very underwhelming, but I love the regular art. I wonder if the original design had the flood counters actually turn off other land types and gave you the spell reduction from all flooded lands and not just your own, but it was too good/too frustrating to play against.
Given the generic cost reduction and the fact that the flood counters can easily go on non-basics to make them islands, this actually doesn't feel like a monoblue card. u/r treasures or u/g big spells maybe.
