I wonder if it would have been cleaner to have the companion restrictions function like emblems restricting the kinds of spells that you can cast/activate. I guess it's not as cool of a declarative statement?

Tom Clancy is Dead posted:It doesn't create restrictions on sideboarding other than taking a slot: you don't reveal it as a companion g2/3 if you bring in cheap cards. You gotta consider how blatant it is to have Macrosage there. It informs the opponent you're playing Fires and cannot do anything t1 or 2 immediately.

Man these Godzilla cards are irritating as gently caress to me lol. Can't fault them for selling fancy cards to people but they're so out-of-universe I'm extremely glad they won't show up in limited at least. I mean they're one step away from an Avengers movie tie-in.

A bunch of new cards:  Perfect Lifeform, Destoroyah Phoenix Creature Mutate 3R Flying When ~ mutates, create a red artifact "Wing" token with the ability "1, Sacrifice Wing: target a phoenix creature card in your graveyard and return it to the battlefield tapped" Give me a moment and I'll try to get the rest. e;  Mysterious Egg Egg Creature When ~ mutates, put a +1/+1 counter on it  Bat Creature Mutate 4BB Flying Flash When ~ mutates, destroy target creature or planeswalker an opponent controls  Legendary Creature - Dinosaur Turtle Trample, Haste 1R Cycling Whenever you cycle ~, shuffle it into your library instead of putting it into the graveyard. If you've cycled a card named ~ 4 or more times, put it onto the battlefield instead.  Legendary Creature - Cat Nightmare Beast Mutate 4 G/W B B Deathtouch, Lifelink Whenever ~ mutates, target any number of creatures in your graveyard with total power 10 or less and return them to the battlefield  Crystal Giant Creature - Giant At the start of combat on your turn, choose at random a counter that ~ doesn't already possess out of flying, first strike, deathtouch, menace, hexproof, trample, reach vigilance, lifelink, and +1/+1, and place one of that counter on ~.

mutate flash creatures are gonna be bonkers. at instant speed you can 1) change the P/T of an existing creature on the battlefield 2) add new abilities to an existing creature on the battlefield 3) trigger any "whenever this mutates" effects you have on the battlefield 4) trigger any "whenever this mutates" effects on the card you just played

Tainen posted:This is a card in the set That's even worse. With the creature, you at least saw the cycling happen the first time and could start counting. This one just comes out of nowhere and asks players to use a number that the opponent had no idea they were even supposed to track. Brownhat posted:Wizards is purposely unfriendly to paper now. Companions all require information your opponents can't verify. Yeah, it irritates me. Being designed around opponent confirmation and little memorization is what keeps the game structured and mostly clean. Once that goes away, we have a Hearthstone on our hands.

TheKingofSprings posted it first but this is definitely a set that was designed for digital play first and paper second. Not saying that Wizards is going to pull the plug on paper anytime soon (or ever) but it wouldn't surprise me to see more cards that have these memory challenges in paper play.

So crystal Godzilla is by default almost certainly a 3/3 hexproof for 3 and it only gets better. That is...pretty drat good.
