When Idol of Endurance enters the battlefield, exile all creature cards with converted mana cost 3 or less from your graveyard until Idol of Endurance leaves the battlefield.
{1}{W}, {T}: Until end of turn, you may cast a creature spell from among the cards exiled with Idol of Endurance without paying its mana cost.
Bestow {5}{U}{U} (If you cast this card for its bestow cost, it’s an Aura spell with enchant creature. It becomes a creature again if it’s not attached to a creature.)
Flying
You control enchanted creature.
Enchanted creature gets +1/+1 and has flying.
If I have Hypnotic Siren in my graveyard when I play Idol of Endurance and Hypnotic Siren is exiled as part of Idol of Endurance's enter the battlefield effect then I can pay 1W to play Hypnotic Siren with out paying it's mana cost. Does that include the bestow cost? In other words can I pay 1W and play Hypnotic Siren as an Aura card and take control of another creature?
Lands on the battlefield and land cards in graveyards can’t be the targets of spells or abilities your opponents control.
Your opponents can’t play land cards from graveyards.
Fall of the Thran's text:
(As this Saga enters and after your draw step, add a lore counter. Sacrifice after III.)
I — Destroy all lands.
II, III — Each player returns two land cards from their graveyard to the battlefield.
So this happens:
1. I play Tomik and the card stays on the battlefield
2. I play Fall of the Thran
3. All lands are destroyed
4. Next turn Fall of the Thran gets a second lore counter
5. Fall of the Thran's triggered ability: Each player returns two land cards from their graveyard to the battlefield. hits the stack
6. Does Tomik's static ability prevent my opponent from returning two lands from their graveyard to the battlefield?
This basically involves all the Expertise cards from Aether Revolt with Narset's Reversal.
If I cast Baral's Expertise return 3 artifacts or creatures to their owner's hands and then I choose Narset's Reversal for my
free card to cast: Narset's Reversal is able to see Baral's Expertise targeting it, but does not resolve until after Baral's Expertise
has finished and is in the graveyard. Does Narset's Reversal fizzle do to invalid target or does it create a copy of Baral's Expertise or
does it actually bounce Baral's Expertise and create a copy? I believe the answer is it fizzles, but I know copy rules can favor
the copier with creatures.
Using card tags is mandatory in the Magic Rulings forum. Please check your private messages to learn how to use them. I've added them for this post.

I have an Arcanist Owl in play and Thassa, Deep Dwelling for a total of 5 devotion to blue.
Thassa is a creature. I mutate Illuna, Apex of Wishes onto Thassa with Thassa on top and Illuna on the bottom.
After this resolves my opponent kills my Arcanist Owl reducing my devotion to blue to 1. Thassa becomes an enchantment again.
What happens to the mutated Illuna? What happens to Thassa? What happens if I put Illuna on top and Thassa on the bottom?
So for the most over powered must have adventure in the bunch. Animating Faerie is a beast, but this is probably the best removal + chump block in standard next to frilled mystic.
Black White tokens seem to be getting a lot of love this set. With Smothering Tithe in play for instance your opponent basically has to spend 2 per turn to avoid giving you an easy sacrifice token. Combos well with afterlife creatures too. It's also not legendary like Rankle the fairy. Piper of the Swarm also can produce tokens for this and then let you take whatever creatures your opponent refuses to play as long as this is out.
The Wednesday she mentions in the article I'm assuming is September 4th next week when the book releases?
Also the book's blurb:
The exciting new story of Magic’s latest release, Throne of Eldraine. The young warrior-mage twins Rowan and Will Kenrith quest for their missing father, the High King. Rowan and Will’s powers are strong, but the world of Eldraine is a dangerous place! A thrilling mashup of Arthurian legend and Grimm’s fairy tales seen through the unique lens of Magic: The Gathering, here you will find magic, monsters, and mystery true to both traditions.
So looks like we start to get some minor spoilers next week.
there is a new multi-cost mechanic with a storybook like frame in cards.
I was thinking Sagas would be nice in this set as they go with the stories, but the create multi-cost mechanic seems to be this.
Willing to bet there will be a strong sub-theme on equipment / artifacts
as swords and grails and other artifacts are important in Arthurian legends.

I know that equipment and enchantment creatures auras fall of, but do mutated creatures too?
totally worth it need a play set ASAP.
