I think this is just about good enough as a punish towards non-infinite aristocrats strategies but also a payoff to machine gunning everyone else's boards. Also Lurrus-able.

I've run Erratic Portal to reasonable success. This feels like another way to get it done, albeit trading a mana req and instant speed for requiring the combat step. But it's a free investment after the initial cast...

What's the loop? I don't see it.

I definitely played this as super fixing in a young Kaalia. Kinda funny that it'll make certain swords fall off. I wonder what happens when I control Painter's Servant (red) and someone casts Donate and gives this to me. Why is this relevant? Let's say I'm playing Torbran, Thane of Red Fell so now ...

Hard to imagine this thing still hasn't cratered yet. Even with the reprint in C17 it still holds strong at the price of a {draft} pack. This tells me it's probably still quite strong with reasonable demand.

Its awkward in that you are sort of stacking a bunch of buffs in one location while going wide. Usually you don't want to go both big and wide but the small cavoite I will give it is that it might help against edicts. I think this card is probably in most cases a trap though. I'd slam it onto Thrun...

Sunday, March 24th 2024; Back to Basics

But... does any of this excite me? Not really, no. I feel like the UB cards I'm willing to play tend to be very neutral in flavor, to the extent that I could see them printed into a normal Magic set. Displaced Dinosaurs and Orcish Bowmasters are fine to me - MTG also has dinosaurs and orcs. However...

Saturday, March 23rd 2024; Verdant Command Verdant Command Exactly the kind of niche card I like to staple extra value on to justify it's deck slot. And that one time you destroy someone's emblem ult with this will make it all worth it. Just for the look on that person's face that just got blown out...

Oh wait that's any card, I thought it was just your cards. Geez. Just main this with Stone of Erech that's Sagable and let this thing carry you. Geez.

Idk anything about the IP and don't care to, but this feels strong enough I think. Really plays into white's strengths in protection and red's ability to clock people while also offering removal if you need it.

Iirc I still have a salvat Graverobber in Alesha and it's not the worst card. Flipped Night eyes is still pretty sick when you can untap with it. Instant speed repeatable Rise from the Grave is no joke. Just slow and needs to be protected but that doesn't mean it still can't take over a game when un...

You haven't lived until you Shallow Grave this thing into Ephemerate. I wholeheartedly recommend doing it at least twice a week. Good for the soul 👀

Tuesday, March 19th 2024; Bogardan Hellkite Bogardan Hellkite|tsr Still a fine card right? Can be used in infinite blink interactions as a win con, flash so it works with the mana combos. Reasonable reanimate target. I've never seen this thing not iMPACT the board in some way, even if it's just impe...

Well, that's pretty nutty...

Judith, Carnage Connoisseur says hi, but I guess she also has more efficient board wipes . Fire Covenant seems strong, and I could see myself picking up a copy if/when it ever gets a reprint. I think Toxic Deluge is generally better unless you really want to keep your own creatures alive - it costs...
