[Cythare]

I'm not excited about this rate. I was surprised to find out that black doesn't have a 6-mana 4/4 flier at common

I feel like a complete idiot it was supposed to be 4b, it was meant to be a common five-drop 4/4 flyer, but I had a brainfart and input the 5 and went "yep, 5 is correct."

This makes me feel better about giving you the win, because I like the card at the intended cost.

Crushtacean Exemplar 2GU
Creature — Crab Warrior (M)
Flash
Whenever Crushtacean Exemplar or another Crab enters the battlefield under your control, it fights up to one target creature you don't control.

Crushtacean Commando 3GU

Other Crabs you control get +1/+1 and have Ward 1

"Nature has decided that the Crab is the optimal animal, and I do not argue with perfection."

cheetos bolting right out of the gate with the carcinization meme. The great part is that I could absolutely see this in an actual Ravnica set, a rare instance where meme and worldbuilding intersect perfectly.

Zodiac (Western) Crab 2U
Enchantment Creature - Crab {U}
Island menace (This creature can't be blocked except by two or more creatures as long as defending player controls an Island.)
2/4

IIW: augury, soothsaying, fortunes told

Is...this the giant enemy crab? But where's its weak point for massive damage?

It's certainly a large crab, though. The island menace is a little strange to me; are you implying that all the Western Zodiac critter have this instead of landwalk?

IIW: A river of something

I see that pun. And wow, that last ability on Exemplar , pretty nice. I'm surprised we don't actually have a printed card with that yet. Might be shifted into though.

Commando is somewhat awkward aesthetically.

Seafloor Scuttler U

Ketaphos Pincher 1WU

Whenever Ketaphos Pincher attacks, tap up to one target creature. If Ketaphos Pincher is monstrous, instead tap up to two target creatures, and they don't untap during their controller's next untap step.
3WU: Monstrosity 3. (If this creature isn't monstrous, put three +1/+1 counters on it and it becomes monstrous.)

IIW: 2/2 for 2

Hah! Interesting use of the monstrous status here. Quite powerful, might wreck Limited even for a rare.

Cyclopean Trench is a mean card, and only exists to lock people down. I'm not sure I really want it around. Rather than dying if they all get mucked, I'd rather the muck be removable for 2. The Mechdiver on the other hand is delightful for our littler set.

Narrative (Any player may pay 2 as a sorcery to advance the game to Act 2, or if it's Act 2, pay 3 to advance to Act 3. A player that advances the game draws a card if they control a permanent with narrative.)
2/1

Flavor: Operas in New Capenna have ritualistic undertones. Actors are part singers, part shamans, part gladiators. As they reenact history, they channel the spirits of the past, for a performance that truly energizes the audience. The "Narrative" protects the players, but in occasion, a function ends in tragedy if a player takes on a role beyond their means. Still, they are revered in success or failure, for the Narrative keeps the spirits sated and trapped in history. Angels and demons are happy to keep dormant the old rivals of the past.
