Re: [ELD] Torbran, Thane of Red Fell (ZiggyD)

Sort of, though he has issues with multiple creatures. He can kill a 3/3 and a 1/1, but he can't kill 2 2/2's. Damage assignment and replacement effects are weird. Uh what? Are you sure? I would have thought he could kill two 3/3: assign 1 damage to each, each receives 1+2 damage. I understand he c...

Re: [ELD] Drown in the Loch (Carlos Romao)

Counter and removal rolled into one? That seems a control dream card.

It does nothing early, but is powerful in the mid-/lat game.

Edit: I wish the art had more contrast to it. It's a bit too muddy, I'dprefer if it had a bit more punch.

Re: [ELD] Fires of invention (Vandal Es)

This merely double your mana, while imposing strict restrictions. Interesting, but then your opponent plays deafening silence and you look silly. (unless your combo involved playing multiple creatures...)

This works like a more costly as foretold for the time spiral spells.

We haven't gotten any foodstuffs in white yet. If anything, black is the other food color.
You're right. I had confused adventure matter in white. Black definitely is the other color that cares about food. (the cat, the fae, bake into a pie, etc.)

Re: [ELD] Irencrag Feat (Matthew Nass)

Well, the advantage of tron is that it's not a one-shot deal. You get tons of mana every turn after you assemble tron. And the color requirement means you can't even add this to tron to improve its likelyhood of bustingsomething early.

That common wolf looks reaaaaaal good in limited. GW seems to be the food-matter color pair, so having enablers at common makes sense. Not all card are meant for constructed and I suspect people will find that the food tokens will turnout to be good both for synergy with food-matter cards and the am...

I think most of the cards previewed so far call out Food explicitly though, instead of working well with artifacts in general. Hmmm....

Re: [ELD] 3 cards from Shota Yasooka

In modern, I'd rather play the alternatives than the black and red cards. The green one is pretty good in limited, especially if casts for only 2 CMC.

Re: [ELD] 9/12 - Mothership Spoilers, two adventures and two adventure matters cards

Phew! The adventure payoff cards are uncommons, otherwise at common they would be way too good in multiple in draft. The white adventure is a common though, which will make that color really annoying to play against. Tap down attackers (and blockers), then get a 2/3 flyer? Possibly multiple turn in ...

Re: [ELD] Four foodstuffs (Merchant & AliasV)

The cauldron familiar flavor text is a bit wonky. It's the cat that returns from the GY, yet it's the same mouse that gets killed every day? Does not compute. Does putting a mouse in a brew reanimates the mouse?

Re: [ELD] Opportunistic Dragon (Sjow)

So pacifism on wings, with some minor upside. (Steal a food token to feed it to a food-matter card or a human to a sac outlet.)

I suppose without the human restriction it would be too good for its mana cost?

Re: [ELD] Aymara, First of Locthwain

Thank god she's not a zombie. Still, seems good with recursive cheap zombies in modern. Not competitive, but a stream of zombies from the GY + CA is not bad. At 3 CMC it won't break anything there.

Any good black token makers in standard?

Creating X 1/1 in a flash would be way too good. There is the huge drawback that you can't choose X freely (it could have been "CMC X or less") and it's dead if there is nothing on the board (it could have been "up to one creature"). EDIT: and it can fizzle due to cards like veil...
