Eh, Roaring Earth is mediocre and this moves it onto a very squishy creature. I guess with enough counters on Devoted Druid, it goes infinite with the second ability, which is cool.
Not a lot of misses for Shoot the Sheriff in standard right now. Depending how many come from this set, I assume some split between this and Go for the Throat will become appropriate.
Someone remembers when they started abilities that trigger only once each turn ? I start getting fed up.
Kaldheim, looks like. Things that trigger the "first time" you do something go back to original Kamigawa, abilities you can only activate once each turn go back to Alpha or the Dark, depending what you want to count.
Anyway, with commit a crime cards, it's the [c[]Eater of the Dead[/c] problem, there's too many ways to do it so much that cards that didn't limit the trigger would have to be too expensive.
an ancient race of giants which somehow were able to travel between planes without omenpaths and without being planeswalkers.
So, like 60ish years ago in universe, people used to be able to make portals between planes and ships (like the Weatherlight) that could travel between them. Then Time Spiral block happened and that's why it was only planeswalkers who could do it for those 60ish years. Presumably, the ancient Fomori empire existed more than 60 years ago.
I agree that it probably has to do with the offspring mechanic making token copies (maybe even the 1/1 part)
Ohh, I think you might be onto something. Kind of like how embalm creates a copy but changes some characteristics around, this mechanic creates a copy but makes it 1/1. Looking at the art, the bunny does look a bit like a child, like the weapon and clothes are too big for it.
They also noted that Embalm/ Eternize tokens do have a "mana cost/vaules" (since they fully copy the creature) but the official tokens lacked a mana cost to not confuse players into thinking they had to cast the token/the token was a real card and putting reminder text like this would be a good way to show that as there are cards that info with maybe less confusion.
Nope, embalm and eternalize remove the mana cost from the tokens they create.
Squad tokens, on the other hand, do have a mana cost that just isn't on the token.
I agree that it probably has to do with the offspring mechanic making token copies (maybe even the 1/1 part) but not necessarily on death. The mana cost is in reminder text so I doubt it's being done in the Garth way.
They are already appealing to furries hard with this set, so I unfortunately wouldn't be surprised if they made offspring have to do with "breeding" creatures
Why unfortunately? What do you have against furries? Also, anything that just have antropomorphic animals must have to do with the furries community? So also Disney, Warner Bros, Don Bluth and any animator, fairy tale or whatever must be furry propaganda in your head?
Magic has mostly avoided direct references to sex (Uktabi Kong being the prominent exception) and has moved away from the art style designed to titillate teenage boys. I much prefer the game that way as I'd rather not have to explain that I play it because I like the game the way one explains that they read Playboy for the articles. Please, please, no "breeding" mechanic. I don't want to think about rabbits having sex while I play this set.
Maybe Warren Warleader has another ability that reads, in part, "create a token that's a copy of Warren Warleader except it loses this ability," perhaps somehow as a third option for the attack trigger.
