Sous le dome epais
Ou le blanc jasmin
A la rose s'assemble
Sur la rive en fleurs
Riant au matin

Viens, descendons ensemble.
Doucement glissons
De son flot charmant
Suivons le courant
Fuyant, dans

L'onde fremissante
D'une main nonchalante
Viens, gagnons le bord
Ou la souree dort

BRIEF COMMENTS

Meg I actually really like the Saga. It doesn't fit on the frame, but it's grand af

cythare, dirge is a nice building effect that isn't as obnoxious as Meren, so I'm a fan

void, Compose is nicely crafted even though we can't see the context for it, I enjoy entries that really let me puzzle about the kind of Limited set they'd go into.

spacemonaut, I like the direction the Bard is headed, but I think the engineering is excessive. It's hard to judge with a lack of rarity, but I think this is too hard to get going, and the untap ability is always a more attractive ability in concept than in reality.

wonderful both the cards you posted were pretty busted

I have to choose a winner, only a couple really captured the grandeur of music and lead to a big finish.

bridges (hm) - void nothing, tactical celebrrant (yours was a nice start but needed significant construction work)
coda - Cythare

Next track: A rare monowhite creature (not mythic rare)
