Makes me wonder when we'll see a card that makes your choice of a food, treasure, or clue token when it enters the battlefield.

Am I reading it wrong or is it a significantly worse rear end trophy that you can use as a significantly worse harrow on yourself?

It has Flashback.

But otherwise yes, you're reading it right.

I think it's like, a sorcery harrow with flashback that can serve as removal in a pinch? Which isn't bad.

Yoink! You pull the item towards yourself.
You see here the Orb of Zot.
I feel like the intent is you use it on your own lands for ramp and then repeat it next turn with the flashback, and later in the game you can use it as artifact/enchantment removal or if you’re desperate enough to pop a manland

I'm pretty sure the "ideal" play pattern is that it's a 3-mana ramp spell, plus a free 5-mana artifact/enchantment/manland removal later in the game once giving your opponent the land isn't gonna matter. I don't really see it making the cut in the current meta where Treasure is ramping way harder and doing a lot more, but I could imagine formats where it'd be a reasonable card to be playing.

Yeah it's a sorcery speed Roiling Regrowth that can also pick off some problem permanents when you flash it back or if you draw it late. Weird but I think it might actually be an acceptable card.

When you cast this card, reveal the top card of your library until you reveal X creature cards. Put all the creature cards revealed this way into your graveyard, and put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.

Old Stickfingers power and toughness are equal to the number of creature cards in your graveyard.

Shouldn't you still get the zombie and the card? Those two parts don't require a target, and shouldn't it resolve as much as it can? They're all separate sentences.

No. A spell or ability that targets is countered on resolution if no valid targets remain.

Yeah, you just play it on their upkeep and they can't cast any Wraths, protecting your big board of weenies to push lethal next turn.

It's a 4/3 Vigilance for 3 that leaves behind a clue, it's not bad but it's also not really interesting at all and should be an uncommon instead of a rare.

Maybe if it got +1/+0 for each token you control instead or something.

If a spell has at least one target when it is cast, then in order for it to resolve it also needs to have at least one legal target.

We got a 3/3 that draws a card straight up and taps for G at uncommon. This is like a lateral move and its a rare. Smells like something fishy happened during development.

I'd be surprised if we don't see something because there seems to be hints of a subtheme of 'the more colors the better' in some cards, like the Dragon that deals damage equal to how many color permanents you have in play when it dies. (Or maybe thats a one off card?)

I get the impression that's mostly seeding for later sets in the rotation; we know Streets of New Capenna will have a 3-color faction theme.

edit: drat also I just realized I misread Moonveil Regent; I thought it drew cards based on the number colors of mana you used to cast the spell and not for the number of colors in the spell itself. Still really good but not as insane with treasure tokens as I thought it would be

I have a sneaking suspicion that the thing that happened was to do with coven. This card is really good with coven, both because you get 4 power on turn 3, and because you can vary the power at will. Don't get me wrong, I don't think this is good or has any practical applications, but I suspect that in its original form it really really did
