it doesn't mess with aging which is why liliana did that whole demon contract, she got a taste of immortality because she's an oldwalker and when she lost it she was like "this fuckin' bites"

Of course, if you are already immortal due to say, being a a vampire or a dragon. Then for the most part you didn’t notice the loss.

I feel like if I were designing a mechanic like Cleave, I would call it something like Loophole and it would be from a plane with magical lawyers.

I should not be designing game mechanics.

Given that it's set at a high society wedding, I'd have gone with Privilege, since if you have more resources you have the ability to ignore certain restrictions on the card.

That is fair, but imagine being able to say "I cast Dig Up, and I'm going to partake in the privilege of searching for any card I want, and not having to reveal it." at the table.

The weird thing about cleave as a keyword is that you'd think they'd want to reserve a word like "cleave" for some other kind of mechanic.

It's discards over the turn, not just at the moment.

Target player reveals their hand. You choose a nonland card from it [with mana value 2 or less]. That player discards that card.

That card [sucks]. Frankly I don't like cleave as a concept at all, it's too transparently kicker. I assume they'll at least have some where cleave is an alternate cost that distinguishes it from the base cost. But then that's pretty similar to split cards but more boring.

I'm trying to think, is there anything brackets can do that isn't already done by kicker/split? And those mechanics can do a lot more than removing words. I guess you can fit more rules text because you don't have to out write the rules for both modes.

kicker/split can reproduce the 90% of the existing mechanics, so it's not a really fair comparison.

Cleave is just such a bad word for what it does, like mentioned earlier Hack would be better.
Another ugly thing I noticed: reminder text on mythics. Ew.

"X ability could be kicker or split cards" is a tired complaint, abilities are more then gameplay, flavor counts too

That being said cleave kinda sucks on that front lol

Seems playable TBH. A lot of the time the thing you're really wanting to take with Inquisition is their 2-drop, and this has the alternative mode of taking their expensive finisher later in the game.

Lol at playing discard spells in the Foretell meta though.
