looks like the book frame has two distinct rows besides the main text box. the lighter, top one is for cost, the second...? The name of the ability?

Maybe deals damage equal to its power though. May be three target creatures to stay on theme e: i guess it could be fights but that's a really expensive removal spell then.

From a few pages back:Pepper Crab posted:Personally, I think it's great, because the rarest cards are just fancier versions of the same cards that exist at lower levels, and they will hold back one rarity level on a lot of important cards to print as promos that come in tins and boxes. It goes a long way towards keeping the game affordable for people who just want to play and don't care about having the most expensive version of every card in their deck. I will say that Pokémon promo products are great for table games (like my wife and I play) and we can often find them for huge (50%+) discounts at Target when they are trying to dump old stock. Also Pokémon foils and print quality are much higher quality than Magic. Also two rules questions: 1. Theoretically, could a snow permanent participate in convoking to pay a snow mana cost? (Not that there are any permanents with snow costs and also convoke). 2. Darksteel Garrison falls off Arixmethes when it’s a creature because it is no longer a land after all slumber counters are gone, correct? The Garrison would stay on most man-lands though because those usually state “It’s still a land” though?

For 1, no: you are not paying mana with convoke. Instead, you are tapping a creature of the correct color. Since "snow" isn't a color, and the convoke is not actually generating mana, if you somehow gave a snow permanent convoke you would still need to actually pay the snow costs.

meanolmrcloud posted:Lol at trying to explain to anyone what you can get in one of the 15 available booster packs at your local store. I bet stores are gonna have the problem they used to have with Event Decks where there was one good value deck and one crap deck, but stores could only get them as a display case with 5 of each deck, so they'd have piles of the unsold bad decks kicking around. Except this'll end up being worse with multiple products per set where it's like boxes of five different color-themed boosters and only one or two of them have the rares people actually want.

Speaking as a filthy casual who hasn't played paper in many years, the theme boosters just remind me that I miss the old theme decks, because pulling something off the shelf to mess around with whatever was going on in the new set without having to get back into actually collecting cards beyond that (or drafting, or deck construction) was a fun way to spend an afternoon, and if they had something like that for this new set I'd be all over it. Planeswalker decks don't really scratch the same itch imo, and there are obviously fewer outside of the core sets anyway. I guess guild kits are a good option, but the theme of the new set is what's really appealing to me.

The theme packs are an aggressively bad value and meant to sit in Walmart and Target. 35 cards, 1 rare per pack. They exist for kids who want the experience of getting all the draft chaff at the end of a night.

6/6 worth of stats on a (probably) one time ability for 7 seems like a fair rate. There's no way they would make them all 2/2 which is cute, but the different sizes is even better.

Look at all those dead bears. Flaxen Intruder is going to be a 3/2 that fights when it comes into play, but if a creature would deal 2 damage to her, prevent that damage instead. Cause it's juuuuuuust right I have no idea what the second cost could be. Maybe make bears or something e: I'm bad and I missed the post where she was already given a stat block on the fancier art.

My money is on 2/2s only since it’s the quintessential bear, and doesn’t necessitate printing three different token slots for one card

Devor posted:My money is on 2/2s only since it’s the quintessential bear, and doesn’t necessitate printing three different token slots for one card It could make three of the same kind of token, but have one of the bears ETB with a -1/-1 counter and another with a +1/+1 counter, if they don't still get a case of the vapors at having both kinds of counters in the same set

It isn't brothers grimm but I hope there's a card about scooping up the field mice and bopping the on the head. Maybe something that gives -1/-1 to opposing creatures. And a grind their bones to make bread card

I have no basis for this other than grimms fairytales are usually cautionary tales, while the toned down versions we are more accustomed to end on a much more upbeat note.

Unless the left-hand spell can be cast on its own and maybe also puts the creature onto the battlefield as part of its resolution?

It makes me think of Level Up, except it looks like the cost is all at once rather than incremental. 5GG is the cost to level her up (or "turn the page" in this case) into something that can kill three bears.
