It has been a very long time since an aggro deck could kill on turn 4 in standard and even if it could that is 400% less miserable than endless grinding t3feri/field mirrors. Especially since neither of those cards are "good", "old fashioned", or "magic".

Edit: Also I played control for most of this standard and play uw control in modern. I'm no stranger to long games but these cards make for miserable games of magic and without aggro decks to check that the future of the format sounds awful.

that makes me think you can't use both sides because that card would be fairly nuts if you could. "G: make a 1/1" is a fairly gross repeatable effect to tack onto a 3 mana 5/5 (even one that can't attack most of the time but can still block). i think they're probably sorcery/creature split cards; the sorcery half resolves and goes to the yard like a normal sorcery, the creature once resolved effectively doesn't have the adventure text box.

Agreed G for a 1/1 is too good to be repeatable but it's so clearly set up to use the adventure side I'm convinced you'll be able to go adventure then cast from exile.

Finally a 'back to basics' set, where based on the card alone we can only speculate as to how it actually functions

is it a failure of design that we can only speculate to how adventures work without the instruction manual?

maybe the regular editions will have reminder text?

I get the feeling that it can be reused, but since it's a spell (and?) an activated ability, it can be countered. So maybe that's the "downside" since activated abilities don't have quite as many counters otherwise.

I wonder if it's going to be part of the story for the set that the fairy tales are all a little off. Goldilocks makes bears instead of killing them, the beast gets more aggressive when beauty is around, and so on.

DAD LOST MY IPOD

i honestly think it's just a creature/spell split card because too many of the other options make the beauty and the beast card absolutely bugfuck nuts.
if it's an activated ability it's the best one they've printed on a creature since stoneforge
if it's an aftermath style card it's a hyper-efficient beater that basically always two-for-ones your opponent
even if it's an activated ability you can only use once it's busted for the above reasons combined. plus the last two times they did that (monstrous, renown) they used +1/+1 counters to solve the "memory issues" problem, and neither of the cards we've seen do that, so it's very very unlikely that that's how it works. also activated abilities don't have names.

so my guess is it's a split card; you can cast it as a sorcery, in which case it resolves as a sorcery and goes to your yard, wherein it is both a creature and a sorcery. or you can cast it as a creature, in which case its "adventure" text box is blank.

My guess is that it’s a spell you cast while the permanent it’s attached to is in play, requiring you to either tap it, discard a card, or both as an additional cost.

It can't be an activated ability because that would be stupid and if it's a split card than the card is beauty or the beast which is clearly a flavor fail
