, Sacrifice Churning Roil: Scry X, where X is the number of +1/+1 counters on target creature you control.

The M:TG coverage was impossible to watch, in more ways than one: - spoilers popping up between rounds - repeated interview stuff - unnecessarily clinging to the Swiss system in a small tournament where the leaderboard is short enough to be immediately understood, They could switch to something more...

Triton Tableaux [sym=3] Artifact [sym=t]: Add [sym=u]. 2uu , Sacrifice Triton Tableaux: For each opponent who controls an Island, create a blue 2/1 Merfolk Knight creature token with islandwalk that's tapped and attacking that player.

I've played Furnace Celebration in a four-of casual deck with all the Visions chimerae (eg. Iron-Heart Chimera) and I've played it withDevastating Dreams and it has always felt like the activation cost is too much. A really beautiful card that's thoroughly my type of thing, anyway!

Colvin Lendri 2gg Legendary Creature - Badger Eminence -- At the beginning of each opponent's upkeep, if that player has more cards in their graveyard than you and Colvin Lendri is in your command zone, exile two cards from that player's graveyard and put a +1/+1 counter on each Badger you control....

Phawne, Unforgiving Landlord 2wub Legendary Creature - Human Noble When Phawne, Unforgiving Landlord deals combat damage to an opponent, that player chooses two cards from their hand and two lands they control and shuffles those cards into their library. Phawne, Unforgiving Landlord deals 5 damage ...

It's all over, I accidentally found out about the flip/transform/effect land (I haven't seen an actual card but I saw two people discussing Zendikar Rising and too much of it entered my head before I realized I should close the window.) I wasn't even hanging in a Magic-related channel when I found o...

Having real trouble avoiding spoilers. I already know several card names I didn't want to know, although so far they've been generic and draft-commonesque so nothing huge has slipped through the net. I still don't know what mechanics are in the set or if there's bad guys and so forth. It basically m...

Tchasph, Avatar of Desperation 2wbr Legendary Creature - Avatar Sweep -- When Tchasph, Avatar of Desperation enters the battlefield, return any number of Mountains, Plains and/or Swamps you control to their owners' hands. Tchasph deals that much damage to each opponent and to each creature they con...

Aquiji, Conscience of the Sea 6wu Legendary Snow Creature - Leviathan Trample Cycling ssss ssss : Put Aquiji, Conscience of the Sea from your graveyard onto the battlefield tapped. Aquiji, Conscience of the Sea deals X damage divided between...

I really like the way these cards exist. Of course, the Triomes outrank them but that was a conscious decision by whoever designed them to make cards which were a bit too good. Remember when these things rescued casual players from stuff like Lairs? It felt really good at the time! The only commande...

Swixig of a Dozen Saddles 4wg Legendary Creature - Centaur Mutate 1wwgg [sym=t], Sacrifice X other permanents you control: Create an X/X white and green Centaur token.

If you paid [sym=g] to cast this spell, you may return target creature card from your graveyard to yo...

I think it's between this and Voidslime for best art on a counterspell. I play Daring Apprentice sometimes in casual but it's slow, and Lunar Force exists.

Soffin the Stoic 4ur Legendary Creature - Crocodile Warrior (M) Protection from instants and from sorceries. Damage that would reduce your life total to less than 1 reduces it to 1 instead. At the end of each turn, if your life total is exactly 1, untap target permanent and it gains protection from...

Last Laugh the catch-all solution for the creature tokens you make! Like an automatic Pestilence.

Kicker
When Naya Goliath enters the battlefield, if you paid its kicker cost, it pounces on target creature. (They fight at the end of every turn until one of them has left the battlefield.)

Good points. Not so certain about your judgment on City of Brass, though - previous versions of the cards have ties to other planes, but the NAME is generic and a new capital might have cropped up since we last visited Zendikar, right? On the quest enchantments, I have to admit I forgot all about th...

Also, I think if anyone is sitting down to write a song with a demographic in mind then that's the most manipulative producers at work. Rock's sort of a nostalgia zone, now, and journalism about the modern stuff is full of regret and reference, and it has lost its power to create a rockstar. People ...

I suppose I'll go first! Given that the word "adventure" is in the Zendikar tagline I'm hoping to see more creatures with adventures attached to them. They're my favourite thing in Eldraine, and my favourite card idea in general for years. It'd be fun to see legendaries with simple adventu...

Erebos is my favourite! I'm just now creating my first commander deck but both versions of this gawd are shortlisted. I played plenty of Greed in casual over the years so I might be so familiar with THAT card that I'll never remember that THIS card can attack for five damage, but I still find it ama...

Amplified Hum 1gg Creature - Illusion Wall Reach Creatures with toughness equal to or less than the amount of green mana in your mana pool cannot attack. The scream of the Radix as it ascended to the stars still reverberates through the Tangle. 0/4 (I hope this actually works - I'm assuming you hav...
