I always read it correctly and I think it’s better that way because you can play it vs a single good target and it disincentivizes them from playing another one for two full turns instead of just 1.
I'd much rather have Lorien Revealed than Sea Gate Restoration. Sea Gate Restoration was a huge disappointment for me and almost always felt awful to cast. This has much more flexibility and being cheaper and an instant is huge for control decks.
It’s a sorcery though? Unless you mean the cycling at instant speed which is a lot better than being a tapland (although this has no “untapped” mode per se)
Very weak set for all of us that avoid parasitic mechanics (like the different roles and their associated tokens), but one good card is saving the set for me: I will finally have a 6th playable card in my Boros section!
Comet was the best Boros card when it was printed and then they went and printed a bunch of insane Boros cards in 2023 commander products. Forth is the best among all of those and unless I’m forgetting something not just the strongest Boros card but the strongest multicolored card straight up.
I think this might be a better card for Legacy level cubes without Draw 7s, but with so many cards that are essentially Draw 7s, Dig Through Time, Treasure Cruise, Fact or Fiction, I think this may just be a bit excessive.
I'm currently testing this over Dig Through Time to give control decks more options in the early game.
Dig is banned/ restricted in all formats - I often have this thrill casting it
If you like casting DTT you could go jam 4 in Pioneer

I get more and more interested in jamming all the experience counter counters in a lower power cube since they have very strong synergy with each other, but aside from that thi s is an easy pass, 5 is too much.
So this was dead wrong, top 3 Boros card for powered cube and perhaps too strong for unpowered
Containment priest is surprisingly good sometimes at just ambushing stuff, vigilance a decent add. The 5 mana mode would be poor on its own but can plausibly close a game out especially if you’re racing with some spirits or the like.
I don't like the flavor of Negan ...but it's been a strong card.
Borborygmos and Fblthp has been a solid Temur option. Big-ish body for the cost, board impact, immediate card advantage AND is worth a card a turn, and works well in both Loam and Wildfire strategies if you support them. It's been a cool card.
FWIW Negan’s universes within is coming in the next set
Wtwlf testing frodo, I'd be mighty tempted to test these two cards together to live the dream of a frodo game win via his 3rd ability
Frodo can live the dream on his own! ...It just takes a bunch of turns and tons of black mana.
It happens just as fast with 3 black mana as with like 15 black mana though? Barring type changing effects I guess but can9t think of many that are cubable.

Roles aren’t parasitic at all though
I mean it’s definitely better than minsc so if that was the only counterexample that came to mind then I guess the claim is looking good

Definitely a solid fit for highest powerlevel cubes where sticking a cheap snowbally CA threat (that might be gold) is a common gameplan
