The biggest danger with the rules update (at least based on my observations of some pre-testing) is clones just got a lot better, and only a little worse. Sure they don't serve as efficient removal sources, but if you look at clones between 2 and 4 mana, the casting cost is appropriate for efficient removal sources. That role can be served by other removal sources. Now, instead of removal sources we have cloning on legends, and undercosted at that, especially those that negate clone drawbacks, like Hexproof or Shroud legends with Phantasmal Image. I'm not saying it's broken, just will lead to some abuse in multiplayer environments.
My EDH UB deck always contains an Evil Twin. Then drop a Conjurer's Closet and pretty much "Kill, exile, return, repeat."
Either way though, I do like the change. It'll be much more interesting to clone someone else's Legendary for my benefit. LOL
You examine Rolfund's mind for the location of the diamond. It is in the interior pocket of the vest he is currently wearing.
Now knowing where the diamond is, and feeling ... a bit worn down, he contemplates how he is going to pull this off. He then says the heck with it and asks "Where did you get your vest from? It looks nice! Where I come from, we never got fancy items like that. I never even got to wear one." as he tries to stall for a bit of time to think of something better to do.
(OOC: Since I don't think I could deathtouch him due to lack of mana, but if I can, then if it's private....)

Looking at him, and knowing he's blatantly lying, he delves a bit further, while talking to Rolfund "For someone that knows a lot about this place, I would have expected you to know more about what's in these mines. Maybe you could tell me the history of the mines?" he also decides to take a peek deeper into the mind of Rolfund to see if he's really telling the truth, and to see if he can find out where the diamond is and details about the location of the diamond (traps, etc...):

Looking around, you see a few newer faces from the transport ships whose escape pods must have deployed after yours. You also see all the shops and the job terminal and such. (Sorry I don't have much else for you. This is a low-encounter city. Perhaps some alliance-forming would be fun?)
OOC: I do plan on forming alliances soon, just needed to do the run-back to refresh my mana.

Just to be fair, I think you might want to fix that....but if that's the way you want it...just saying.
OOC: This is the longest, most ornate ruse, on both you and Rolfund's part...
You sigh and tell your story, like a liar. "Oh, me? No, siree, not me. No way, no how boy. But you keep hitting Iron reliably and eventually you work your way up as I did. Got a decent salary now, don't even need to hit it big. Barely even mine myself anymore, really. But you know. Same old routine, like you said."
OOC: LOL...got to add SOME RP to it, right?
He nods and stretches "I wonder where that diamond thing was found that the miners keep talking about. I wouldn't mind going there to mine. In fact, I'd be inclined to think that you would know these mines better than anyone, right?"
OOC: BTW, what would be the difficulty to do non-combat spells with Rolfund?

Numoka attempt an odd tactic to take down the old man, but he is unable to rally the weird oozes to his cause and the whole thing just gets lost in the shuffle. Maeta Rabe arrives on scene to witness this spectacle, and had intended to help the old man who it now seems, for some reason, has far more enemies than one would imagine for an odd hermit in the middle of a swamp.
Seeing as this is a stubborn old man, and seeing as he is feeling a bit underpowered, he quickly makes his escape back to the city to rest and recuperate.

"I mean, sure, if you really want to I guess" You walk to his office (a tent) with him. As you do you ask him about better ores. "Well, really, you can strike gold or gems or what have you anywhere in the mines, provided you know how to mine effectively. You can't just tap the rock and hope for the best, you have to put real effort into it."
OOC: No, I got it, I just forgot to move it. Sorry about that. LOL Sometimes my typing gets ahead of me.
He nods and then asks "Have you ever found anything like that? I wouldn't mind striking it big because it'd be nice to get something decent. Not to mention I would hate to just be doing the same thing over and over again yaknow? But, have to make a living even though my talents are probably best suited to other things." as he sighs like it's been a difficult life for him.

You seemingly just watch Mirik do what he's doing. It seems he wants you to perhaps dispense with the old man. Given how easily the man shaped the world around him with a wave of his hand, this may be much easier said than done. (It may be impossible.)

Another member of the Hive shows up at the same time as a large brontosaurus like ooze of an alien species (Mirik). Both work together to pull Numoka from the muck and set him on dry(er) land. The bronto-ooze-thing then gestured toward the distant tree with the fire and ambled over there and knelt down its front legs and angled its neck down to peer in. Numoka may or may not have followed.
"Kribness me, what a day. Can't a man just be at peace?" This is the home of Grigor, the old man of the bog. "Shoo, beast! Get out of here! There's nothing for you here!"
(IF Numoka is here, too...) "Oh, but look. You pulled my rude friend here out of the muck. I can't say he deserved it, but it's probably for the best. I think had I killed him, that would've been overdoing it. Now get your big ol' nosy nose out of here before you accidentally break something, ya lumbering beast!"
OOC @MIRIK: Some time during your next turn your shapeshifting ends. You can declare when it is and build your post around it, or, if you don't, it will happen at the end of your next turn.
Looking at the ooze and nodding he climbs up to where the large ooze-o-saurus is nosing in and peers in.
