[ELD] Shepard of the Flock and more (Efro 4/4)

I find this phrasing so weird. Why not 'each creature you control with Adventure'?

Because it's not a keyword that appears on creature cards, it's a subtype of the instant or sorcery half of creature/instant or sorcery splits.

With that art, plus being a white card, I was sure it was a spirit.

[The N82O Molecule]

this will be used in sealed as its a 2/2 flyer for 3 cmc, with a secondary usage that's probably on rate if you get the exact sequence of cards.

ive learned that my threshold for the word an is 2

How is lucky clover uncommon

You get to double dip instants/sorceries and adventures with this with no sac required and not restricted to the first spell

Edit: wait it may only be adventure cards for the adventure cost they worded it pretty bad in my opinion

[Serenade]

Love that Lucky Clover is not bound by colors.

[void_nothing]

Lucky Clover is TWO MANA? That's narrow but completely amazing.

[ilovesaprolings]

Now that's how you print enablers for new mechanics

[Hawk]

Lucky Clover at two mana and uncommon might actually put Adventuring on the map in Standard. Turn two clover, turn three Murderous Rider to take 4 and kill two things is pretty gross and just compounds the incredible card advantage Adventure already provides.

[Dunharrow]

Carver is basically pump spell with a 3/2 to cast when you are empty handed. It's fine as a combat trick. These will be tabling a lot because I doubt you want more than 1 in a deck.

So, Rescue was so good in Dominaria, they decided it would be better in White and tacked it on to Shepherd of the Flock? This has only been on a mono White card once before (Narrow Escape). Bounce is supposed to be the domain of Blue. Since Green had been overtaking for card draw, I'd like Blue to have one original area remain its forte.

Blinking would have been fine. Why is White getting efficient bounce in a set loaded with Creatures / Spells?

Returning a permanent you control to its owner's hand is well within the white color pie. It is blue that gets to bounce your opponent's stuff too:

Aegis Automaton
Alley Evasion
Emancipation Angel
Kor Skyfisher

[The Fluff]

as expected, there's some support for adventure. And lucky clover looks like a fine support card.

That Shepard makes no goat tokens, 0/10 for me

Bring to Life Lucky Clover (and a friend) FTW!

Which is why I specifically referenced Rescue - Usher to Safety is a way to save/reset planeswalkers or lands or enchantments against removal in White. White gets Instant speed blinking for creatures at a greater rate of occurrence than Blue, which is fine in the primary color for Indestructible. Of the four cards you noted, the Instants can only target creatures. The creatures do not have flash, and have the clause intended to be a drawback for early play. In mid to late game their purpose can be shifted. I'm just disheartened that more of what used to define "Blue" for the past quarter of a century is continuing to be diluted into other colors.

It's an allegorical character for Jesus. Odd that it's not Legendary.
