Sailors' Bane seems much better than we are probably giving it credit for? Like how much better is Murktide in Legacy over this when this does not destroy your graveyard while doing it's thing? Ward 4 may as well be Hexproof.
It takes a while to shove cards into exile. Murktide Regent is still likely better due to having Flying and having a steeper, easier discount overall because it can Delve away lands (and dead creatures, permanents, etc.). Gosh knows Bedlam Reveler was a mite too expensive for me, even in no-Delve decks.
Right, what is the difference between a Forgotten Realms naga and a Forgotten Realms snake(folk), and why are they both in the set as creature types on sentient snakefolk?
I find it ironic that there are at least 2 Council members with their own cards in this set (Abdel Adrian, Ulder Ravengard). Heck, the Council isn't part Red, while Ulder is. Which incarnation of the Council does this card show?
Descent's wording almost feels like a glorified variant of Cumulative Upkeep. Hmm...makes you wonder what's coming up in Dominaria United and The Brothers' War
'buster
But the whole point of Cumulative Upkeep is that you can choose not to pay it.
"Mirror of Life Trapping" sadly won't dispatch tokens or cheated-in creatures for you. Maybe build around it with ETB/LTB triggers or by cheating in creatures yourself?
So if I remember my alignments correctly, the metallic dragons were evil, whether chaotic or lawful, right?
'buster
You mixed them up: metallic dragons are good, while chromatic dragons are evil. Tiamat is the evil 5-coloured dragon goddess, while Bahamut is the good platinum dragon god (who admittedly does not spend all his time looking like a dragon).
Brass dragons probably get assigned MTG Black partially because they use noxious gas as a weapon. (Less reliable sources, such as Dragonlance and unreliable claimed generic D&D, seem to lean towards giving brass dragons more mercenary and "might-makes-right" natures.)
The first Replicate cost I could think of for #5 was "Pay 2 life". ("Pay 1 life" is never high enough to truly punish anyone who isn't going infinite, IMO.)
Ok wizards I just did some further reading on falco
Falco was on top of the world, a lord of Park Heights. Each of the other four families relied on his Brokers for protection, as well as much of the city's civic and social elite. And then the Adversary came, and Falco discovered how far the fall is from the top of the world.
They did it again… they did a a major death off screen and failed to put on card and the lore (dack faden during war trailer but no lore nor card not even maro knew about it.)
It wasn't just Xander Ob Nixilis murdered
If there’s a card that has it, it could be Threefold Signal. (The bird on the street)
Huh, I thought Threefold Signal had a griffin on it and Falco didn't die (the Brokers just effectively turfed him, possibly by having the majority of the Brokers betray him for the Adversary Chapter 5-style). If Wizards wanted to say that Falco died, they did a really poor job of it, IMO.
You do mean 5-colours-in-colour identity legend, right? Golos is colourless but has a 5-colour colour identity.
Personality-wise in the stories, Giada looks fairly convincing as mono-white, less convincing in Cabaretti colours, and pretty unconvincing as part-black, so I doubt that Giada was meant to be part black colours-wise. Now some forced 5-colour activated ability, though...that seems more plausible.
If I had to guess, I would say that the Backgrounds are kinda like partner, where you can pair a Background in the command zone with a legendary creature that has "Choose a Background".
New phyrexia pretty much the entire set got leaked
You... you do realize that New Phyrexia came out 6 years before Ixalan, right?
yes? (You know I was infact talking about mirrodin besieged block and not 2023/2024 right?)
no matter the system before or after of hiding/prevent cards from being leaked new phyrexia was the worst one. (Though I hear judgement was pretty close to a similar leveled leak)
Dominaria arguably had the nastiest, worst leak because it was Wizards who dropped the ball with its release notes. Say what you want about third parties leaking; first parties leaking has to feel even worse.

It doesn't work at all with lands since you can't cast them. You're stuck exiling them instead.

How come Space Marines lose all the MTG Human support?

EDIT: No Toluz, either? They broke that hybrid-mana cycle of bios? This is an outrage!
On another note, Jaxis is female? I thought Jaxis was a male with great pecs.
