Nikola Jokic, Big Honey3URG

Double strike, menace, ward 2
Whenever Jokic becomes blocked, create a 3/1 red Rogue creature thats tapped and attacking, put a +1/+1 counter on Jokic, and you draw a card.

When Jimmy enters the battlefield, the next time a source of your choice would deal damage this turn, prevent that damage. If damage is prevented this way, Jimmy deals that much damage to that source's controller.
Dash 2RWB(You may cast this spell for its dash cost. If you do, it gains haste, and it’s returned from the battlefield to its owner’s hand at the beginning of the next end step.)

Perhaps the best way to not make this a combo piece is by rewording the oracle text as, "Whenever a land leaves the battlefield, that land's controller puts the top card of their library onto the battlefield face-down and can only tap for mana based on the color identity of the card by revealing it as it enters the battlefield. If it's colorless it taps for colorless mana instead."
The problem is the fact that these abilities trigger every upkeep. As an ETB choice, scry 1 or a counter is a meaningful but not extremely strong choice. Being able to stack counters every turn, though, will get out of hand quickly.

I like the concept of the 3rd version, the Hunt being a game state is very flexible, but I think it'd be better if you structure it more like
Pursue(Go on the Hunt if you’re not already.)
You would have a wider range of choices for how to structure the trigger.
It occurs to me that "Hunter" creatures would be more focused on having better abilities while on the hunt, while "Prey/Trophy" creatures would give their rewards for beginning/ending the Hunt, though plenty of overlap is possible.
The third spoiler video had a version of Spark Rupture with spoiler text, implying this desparking is a direct consequence of the invasion. I'm inclined to think it has something to do with Realmbreaker, but whoever said the Sylex blast might be the cause could be on to something.
It didn't occur to me that Sigarda has become a Font like Giada. Angels are going to be big news for a while it seems.
Opening up the multiverse has to happen, how else can any of these bull***** worlds progress otherwise?
Yep, Elspethianity is well on its way, should make for some interesting developments for Theros.
Looks like Kaldheim's worldtree is going to regrow, I'll be curious if it has a wider reach into the multiverse this time. I think we can also firmly declare Arni to be the biggest badass in existence. MFer's gonna bust up Emrakul next.
There's a few reasons we could be seeing walkers desparked. Wizards isn't going to stop printing Walker cards, so the idea they're using their sparks to purify individual planes seems probable. A twist on the last Mending where sparks are being used to stabilize the Realmbreaker portals is another strong possibility.
I remember that Kaervek was said to have escaped in one of the Zhalfir stories. If the ways between worlds are going to stay open he would be a great choice for next major villain. Maybe we'll finally get a multiversal Legion of Doom.
No, it is a real card! It'll be available in print later this month.
I saw Arachnophobia at a drive-in theater as a youngin'. Definitely one of the more formative memories of my youth.
This card is just terrific, so much flavor captured with innovative mechanics.

Reap?
I like this idea.
Suggestions for alternatives?
I wanted it to reflect the Force being a source of knowledge and power that could fit in all colors.
Some thoughts I've had are:
The Force (When this enters and at the beginning of your upkeep, you may scry 1. If you don't, put a +1/+1 counters on this permanent.)
The Force X (At the beginning of your upkeep, you may scry X. If you don't, put X +1/+1 counters on this permanent.)
Or even both together.
I'm not sure I understand?
