Possibly like aftermath where the adventure portion can only be played from the graveyard. Would fit with the ability for the creature to sac itself.

It's a little curious that the +1 permanently transforms instead of exiling and creating a token. I thought they didn't like doing that sort of thing, because it creates memory issues.

Also, does Oko's blue left arm make him Dack's evil twin?

Flickering the Elk lets you “cure” it back to normal, token would be Elk forever

It would be broke as gently caress in any limited format slower than Origins if you could have a repeatable 7 mana for 3 x 2/2s on an uncommon.

No, because Dack was caught once and that placed marked his hands as punishment.

He was caught, red-handed.

I'm glad he's dead.

I'm unreasonably mad about the flavor of this. The art shows her having killed 2 bears, but as a 1/2 she is incapable of killing any! And her ability let's her kill enchantments and artifacts, but according to our latest science bears are neither of those.

that's why she dies to destroy an artifact, which is what food probably is.

She died for that porridge.

Yeah for real. It wouldn't have a Sorcery type either.

It's much more likely to be split cards except one half is a creature. My only other guess was something along the lines of the Meld cards, where Welcome Home (a separate card) would be referenced on Flaxen Intruder with its name, type, and mana cost, and would trigger some ability on Flaxen Intruder when you cast it.

Pretty sure Adventure is just a creature with a sorcery/instant you can cast instead, kind of like a split card

She's wearing the third bear's skin around her neck. It's just that the color is the same as her hair and makes her hair look big and poofy.

It's flashback-as-a-creature. You can cast her directly or send her off on an adventure (sorcery/instant effect) and cast her later.

e: In her case she 'wrangles' some bears rather than killing them I guess

also apparently they've got a new euphemism for "not tanking the price of the secondary market"

quote:

We’re aware of the desire for reprints. The issue for us is figuring out how to strike a balance between providing more access for the players that don’t have the cards while respecting the effort that went into acquiring the cards for the players that do have them.

wrangles bears while standing on a bear rug, with a bear head mounted on her wall, a bloody cleaver, and at least 3 bear traps

Food tokens being artifacts means that he can turn his food into elks or food and then use the food on his swap so the rules text on what food does could be blank and he'd still be good

They'd probably almost be better if they were blank, because the plan for the walker is probably to give one to your opponent and then alternate making one and turning it into a 3/3 until you have enough loyalty to commit more theft.

The food token stuff is gonna be interesting considering in Faerie lore eating Fae food traps you in their world. Might work like Pacifism or stealing creatures.

wotc finally appealing to its playerbase with food tokens and getting sponsorship from food companies, killing two birds with one stone. tokens will have art of baconators, chicken nuggies, doritos and mtn dew. each pre-release kit will come with an Arena promo as well as coupon to mcdonald''s where their happy meals come with a planeswalker toy and an Arena code.
