    Perhaps the chains aren't that big. Maybe we're just looking at them really close up.

    Hard pass. Too slow, requires set up, lackluster payoff.

    Yeah, I don't think this is even good enough for my casual tribal zombie deck.

    The art seems like a mirror image of the original. I like the card itself though. I think you'll get a lot more mileage out of new Nylea's abilities than you did from the old one.

    Waste of such beautiful art. Seb's art should never be used on cards destined for the bulk bin.

    I'm down for the cat box for sure, but the snow lands one pisses me off. I mean, I'm the guy that bought a box of Modern Horizons (and continues to buy MH boosters at the local hobby store) because I wanted the snow stuff so much, but just five foil basics for that much? Absolutely terrible.

    I wish I could say this will fail, but there's going to be enough people buying things like that Bitterblossom box that WOTC will just recalibrate for the next batch and keep going.

    Though, maybe we'll finally get the stained glass planesalker artworks, or even the anime ones in English.
    In their defense, $6 apiece isn't a bad price for alt art foil snow lands. While they may not look flashy, I would guess that those lands will be one of the better investments out of the entire lot.

    I was excited for every one of these until I realized they're not all foil. Maybe the rainbow one but I'm not sure I care about blinging out the commanders of the two most boring commander decks I own.

    I really wish they'd stop pushing 1-2 cards for constructed while dumbing down everything else for limited. It's the reason Oko is more dominant in this standard than JtMS was when it was in standard.

    schindar posted a message on Set (P)review - My top 20 Throne of Eldraine cards for the cube!
    Stonecoil Serpent and Wildborn Preserver seem really strong to me. Thought they'd make the list. Emry, Lurker of the Loch seems good for powered cubes too. Just shows how deep this set is. Appreciate you taking the time to write these!

    Think I like the common lands more than the rare ones...Except the green ones. Neither of them are all that great.

    Too bad most of the card draw spoiled so far is over costed. I'd have a better opinion of this "2nd card drawn" theme if they printed something like Merfolk looter. I'm afraid though that these days something that "powerful" would have to be printed at rare



    Lol what?
    Opt, and lots of rares and mythics enables this theme, also the dwarf as well is a enabler too.
    Perhaps I should've clarified that I was referring to draft. You can't count on rares and opt can only pull so much weight. Not to mention Opt isn't that great in draft. As of right now I'm not impressed at all with the enablers for this archetype.

    Quote from MercurialMemory »
    So...I've sorta been having this internal debate. It actually started a couple sets back, but it feels more and more relevant each set. Do you guys feel that, in the modern game of Magic, a 2/2 creature with a +1/+1 counter is just functionally better than a. 3/3? If so, is the difference so relevant that it should be reflected in mana cost? Is it already affecting cost?
    I think the answer to your question is Vantress Paladin is not a very good card.

    Next spoiler is up from his stream.

    Lucky Clover 2
    Artifact Uncommon

    Whenever you cast an Adventure instant or sorcery spell, copy it. You may choose new
    targets for the copy.

    Syr Branigan always remembered to kiss his good luck charm, having lost his foot to wolverines the last time he forgot.


    How the...

    That’s like mythic level not uncommon

    You get double dips on instant/sorceries and adventures without any sac necessary
    It doesn't copy adventures, instants and sorceries. It copies adventure instants and sorceries. You're seeing a comma that isn't actually there.
