if i crew this with a toolcraft exemplar, will the vehicle gain +2/+1 in combat ?
Yup. You'll have a 6/4 flyer (with occasional first strike). Have to crew before moving to combat, but there's not a ton of reasons you wouldn't anyway.
Yeah but I wouldn't play a card that was sometimes completely dead when there's tons of better options.
This seems kind of not great? Need to already have a creature out, can be fizzled by removal, X has to be MORE than the mana value of the creature you want, and can't ambush anything in combat because ETB tapped.
I don't think Emperor is always a gendered term depending on the culture. Don't have enough background on Japan to know for sure, but it doesn't seem especially weird to me.
Isn't it also possible that the kappa went into hiding or something and reemerged at some point between OG Kamigawa and Neon Dynasty? It's a boring possibility, but not unrealistic.
Man, I swore that art was Seb's. Pretty sweet card though, that flexibility is key. I think it's competitive, but not quite as good as Prismatic Ending. Pitching cards is a pretty big cost. Needing them to be white is a significant restriction. In modern, I honestly don't think you can play both this and Solitude and expect to play both on the cheap consistently. Really like it for Standard/Alchemy/Historic though.
Can't wait to see the Japanese localisations of some of these names. What the heck is "Shorikai" supposed to mean or refer to? It sounds like one of those pseudo-Japanese names I made up for my Naruto OCs in high school.
I also thought moonfolk were supposed to have names that didn't sound quite like regular Japanese names (making them feel otherworldly), but apparently that has changed and they're just another tribe with stock character names now.
As to Shorikai, not sure. Google says "Processing Meeting" but that's seems meaningless. Curious if it means anything to a native speaker. As to Moonfolk names, are Erayo and Tamiyo weird and Kotori stock? I don't know enough about Japanese names to tell one way or the other.
The weird thing is "Delver" decks are really an entire archetype, not really a specific deck. It's hard to ban "decks with cheap cantrips, threats, and interaction." The issue with banning something like Daze is how much of a boon that would be to the hyper-linear combo decks available in Legacy. Not sure how they fix it really.
I don't think they 100% decided to kill off paper yet, so I think their goal is to print good, balanced cards. But it's nice that if they mess up, there's still a format where you can sort of play those cards. I don't know. MtG is weird these days.
Ragavan seems fine in modern. I don't play a ton but watch a ton of coverage and the card always seems good, but not totally busted.

EDIT: Also, didn't see it before, but Reality Chip is AWESOME.
