What a fun alt-win! I guess if Coalition Victory will continue to be banned in EDH then we can have this nice replacement for all those white-but- commanders.
Not really white card draw in the sense we were expecting (like Mentor of the Meek) though, more like group hug benefits cantripping.

Psst, check the second page of Custom Card Contests & Games! Because of the daily contests, a lot of games fall down to there.

Huh so white now gets "each player draws a card".
“There are no weak Jews. I am descended from those who wrestle angels and kill giants. We were chosen by God. You were chosen by a pathetic little man who can't seem to grow a full mustache"
So the quickest way to do this is with
Dryad Arbor + Aftermath Instant/Sorcery + This card in Play + Artifact/Tribal/Planeswalker in play or Yard.

You need one of each color in play too but that's just simply your commander or any of the following
And Scrapbasket or Scuttlemutt (Activate while happily ever after check is on the stack)

my favorite part of the article
"I'm going to skip talking about the power level of this card in Limited, because you've really got to set up a house pretty permanently in Magical Christmas Land for this to ever do anything remotely resembling winning the game."
allow me to translate if I may
"this is a sh** card in limited" hahahahahaha
[mention]Serenade[/mention]
I agree. . .like, no rended continents, no castles lost, no fear the plane is going to implode/explose, no sinister King vying for power.
just a har har har, lemme tell you a silly story about the time the King got turned into a elk. . .haha, he was the elk. . .oh man can you believe it. . .wench! another mead for me and my friend here as we folly over cute stories
I need a blightsteel colossus come over and lay some waste around indiscriminately

This is very strange and it is more cards than is just a coincidence at this point.ISBPathfinder wrote: ↑4 years agoSeriously, can you stop making white rares be actually 5 color cards. Why does this keep happening to white of late?

IIRC Maro said something on the line that White being the color of community and working together tends to favor cards that are white but secretly all colors combinedISBPathfinder wrote: ↑4 years agoSeriously, can you stop making white rares be actually 5 color cards.

I'm fine with this story, of course. Just want to confirm that we just run into a little mischief and finally don't have to deal with some Big Bad over a course of years. I just want...to observe and explore new planes. Meet new peoples. That's what "being the player/planeswalker" means to me!
Mirri, Cat Warrior counts as a Cat Warrior.
Curtain. MARO and PLAYERS
MARO: Hohoho, folks! Eldraine is fantastic! In 2019 you'll love WAR, MH1 and ELD!
PLAYERS: Oh boy! Can't wait!
MARO: Oh yeah and we're also gonna be trying a minor new thing for white in EDH!
PLAYERS: Hype!
spoilers roll in
PLAYERS: We love Eldraine!
RUMPY: I don't love Eldraine, the whole thing reeks of Shrek and Food is a parasitic mecha-
RUMPY deposited out the window
MARO: Glad that you're happy!
PLAYERS: So where's the cool new awesome white thing that will make it not suck in EDH?
MARO: It's coming.
Happily Ever After hits
PLAYERS: ...so that's it?
MARO: Yep. Well, I did say minor.
PLAYERS: But how's this new? Temporary Truce is a thing. Parley is this with benefits.
MARO: Look, I'm sorry
PLAYERS: Also where's the food legend? It seemed you learned that when you make a mechanical thing in a set, you have to print a legend to support it after KLD and energy. You were hyping that one too. Where's the food legend MaRo?

With one thread being that Oko did escape and Garruk isn't going after him (yet). Oko also seem very interested in the fact that Garruk knew Liliana.

Fun fact: The way intervening if-clauses work the ability won't even go onto the stack unless you already have the condition at the beginning of your upkeep, so the only reason you need to activate these after the ability is on the stack is after an opponent removed a color condition in response to the triggered ability.CommanderMaster999 wrote: ↑4 years agoAnd Scrapbasket or Scuttlemutt (Activate while happily ever after check is on the stack)
You know what? That's not a bad hypothesis. He procs off general sacrifice, making him a more generally useful legend. I think I let my disappointment at white's "new thing" being parley get the better of me and cloud my judgment a bit.
I asked Maro a dozen times if Parley was in colour pie for white and he didn't answer.
I think this is the best solution. If white has answers to everything, then symmetrical card draw should favour white, right?
