MTG Salvation

I kind of dig the idea of lowering my hand size as a way to feed my graveyard honestly. I think including a Reliquary Tower is kind of missing the point of this one.

The amount of incidental graveyard hate in the past two sets or so has been really interesting. It's not unneeded, to be frank, and it's mostly been single target stuff rather than your Bojuka Bog sledgehammer effects (Big exception being Go Blank)

This one is kind of like Mirror Golem in that it actually wants you to exile one of your own things to get the best effect. Also of note, this is an efficient body with Vigilance, think Brimaz, King of Oreskos. I think this is at the very least an excellent cube card.

I love this one! It's pretty much just a Wind Drake with an enchantment popping ETB, but the Bird creature type is rather nice, and the activated ability can be useful in ways you'd never expect when first slotting it in. Kills Phantasmal Image or Horobi, Death's Wail, for instance.

Continuing our theme of P/T craziness where philosophers fistfight with bears, vendors throw down with giants and beggars can withstand the fury of a god, here we have our kindly old grandma beating one of the plane's greatest heroes in single combat.

Zaniness aside, I do love the art and theme. I have no idea why one of the multiverse's darkest planes gives us the most heartwarming feels but I'm not complaining.

You don’t mess with grandma.

Unless you have three toughness, then go ahead and mess with grammaw.

Fat creatures definitely want trample and lifelink. Seems very good.

Card seems fine. The white in the cost makes me think of Pursuit of Knowledge. The name goes well with that concept also.

Pursuit of Knowledge was a big reason why I made this white and a partial inspiration for the card.

Basing cards on significant color pie breaks isn't a good idea.

A story that makes logical sense told through a card will always override mechanical limitations if done right

I think a 5/5 for 6 that is simply unblockable would probably be fine, so a 5/5 for 6 that you would never want to block is pretty close, right? I think this would be a fun casual card at it's current stats. If I wasn't trying to reference two other cards I'd highly consider even buffing it.

Ernham is back boys

Scorpion card is strong, but the art is hard for me to look at. Chelicerous bastards

Also, vampires can live forever, but their marriage will still only last a week.

It's funny how they keep writing stories for these sets and "Oh yeah, Kaya is irrelevantly ghost-busting in the background too." Maybe it's just a slow-burning arc, or maybe it's an inside joke.

Metarhox 4GB
Creature - Rhino Beast Phyrexian
If a creature dealt damage by Metarhox this turn dies, that creature's controller loses life equal to that creature's power plus its toughness.
GB: Regenerate Metarhox.
5/5

I noticed that Phthisis was cast on Rhox in the art, but it doesn't prevent regeneration. Here is the resulting creature.

General Jarkeld is crap. He's dead because he couldn't Hold the Line.

I'm not a fan of real life persons drawn on MTG cards. So this is good news for me.

Here to correct a common misconception; Norman Reedus is not a real person

Would an Elemental stop being an Elemental once it gets oiled up, the way a Human stops being Human when they get zombified/spirited/vampired? That would give you more space on the typeline for Artifact
