do u believe in marigolds posted:

No, because it's color identity is UB. Even if you don't need black to cast it, it's still a black card which prevents it from going in a non-black deck.

Ahh thanks. Between that and the otter i am sad

It's a tempting comparison but those cards had persistent upsides that massively mitigated their deckbuilding drawbacks. Just having an extra card in hand doesn't seem like the same thing.

So apparently there are 10 Companions in the cycle, one for each color pair. Odds that one is completely busted is going up....

Companion - All creatures in deck must be cats, beasts, nightmare, Dino (a couple of others)

Creatures of the listed types get +1/+1

—-

Companion - all permanents must have activated abilities

Activated abilities cost 2 less minimum of 1
1, T target creature can’t block this turn

What is different compared to other busted cards, besides always having it instead of frequently having it, exactly?

Leak has it as 1(g/w)(g/w) and 3/3 but the cmcs and p/t has been a bit off so far.

To be honest I didn’t hint at these cards until last night because I thought they were fake and made to try to root out the leaker because they popped a few hours after some esports site posted an article on the Narset.

A lot less paper product is going to be opened too. Wouldn't be surprised if constructed playables (and rare collectors like this) from the set are going to have much lower availability in months to years to come.

Thinking of how to break this in standard, of course dependent on how good the companion itself is.

hmmm, could presumably sac food tokens for free here(edit: minimum of 1, i'm wrong). B activation of Knight of the Ebon Legion? G Adapt on Growth Chamber Guardian? Ridiculous Kenrith shenanigans (but no Fires)? G to use Nylea, Keen-Eyed?

Oh gently caress Phoenix of Ash +2/+0 for R with Purphoros Bronze Blooded activation for R. Yeah, that's a lot of flying haste damage.

I don't really understand how mutate or companion works but this all seems cool and bananas. I also really like the keyword counters, I thought those were a good idea from the Mystery Booster cards, and I'm glad they're here.

Is Companion basically the way Magic R&D has decided to implement the Commander Zone in a non-Commander format?

I mean, I don't even really agree with banning the otter, but arguably "must be a tribal deck" is more of an opportunity cost than "must be a legal Commander deck." :shrug:

so this wouldn't be allowed with that restriction, right? : https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=gauntlets%20of%20light

Since it doesn't have an activated ability, it just grants one.

Ability counters are amazing, I don't know what everyone's talking about. The only downside is that in paper (lol) people are going to be making confusing counters out of scrap paper. Even if there are punch-out token cards, Magic players are lazy.

They did just that, there's an example of the punch out tokens in one of the explainer articles. Unfortunately they used a terrible icon for the Deathtouch counter.

That would be my take. To work with companion it would have to omit the "enchanted creature has"

The best solution is probably going to be a custom die someone prints out with the faces as easy to discern icons. Hell I could probably do that in Medium and turn it into an STL for y'all.

They are the same as all the MTG Arena icons, except for Deathtouch which appears to be stolen from the "tap here!" tutorial for a phone idle game.

The first run will still have the original name. They're gonna be worth a lot I think. It's a showcase frame of an uncommon but if there's only one print run there might not be all that many in circulation.

Is this different than every card sharing a type? e.g two sorceries and two creatures are fine because each card shares a type with one other card or would it have to be 4 sorceries or 4 creatures?

Ah, so if you run entirely artifacts this is a free card in hand that makes them all cost 1 less.

Everything in the deck has to share a type.

There was just a set with a shitload of Enchantment Creatures and Enchantment removal, hmm.
