this seems like an actual curse you'd draft/play in limited? most of the ones in MID were pretty unplayable other than maybe that blue card draw one.

Light up the stage was 2R without spectacle, so this is in between. It seems good enough for limited at least.

Seems pretty weak to me, it's one of those cards that is a non-bo with itself. It does nothing unless you have good attacks, but spending turn three casting an enchantment means you're not likely to be the one ahead on board.

You need a very specific deck to make it work (and even then you're taking on a lot of risk), either lots of high power, low toughness creatures, or tons of evasion. I guess it plays well with the 1/1 flyer you posted?

Coastal Piracy-likes are extremely medium in limited, you're paying mana and a card to not affect the board and the payoff is not that good.

The counter clause makes it somewhat iffy but that will slot into Selesnya Humans pretty nicely.

Edit: Hamlet Vanguard pretty sweet as well.

This could be funny in a fynn the fangbearer deck of some kind. Although not a good deck.

Or even forget the fynn and just run it with egon and tainted adversary.

Modern continues to look pretty cool. Good for Wizards for not printing anything banworthy in MH2 but still managing to shake the meta up.

I think it's good in limited, but it's not a card to play on curve. Mid-to-late game when both players are topdecking, maybe there's some good attacks if your creatures have trample, etc.

There's no use trying to argue with me, I'm mostly trying to talk myself into not feeling as bad when my opponent lands this and I watch them rip my best cards off the top of my deck. Like the opposite of Magical Christmasland.

i think the way that ashaya works means that if shes in play and you play the colossus you can rip through your whole deck until you have only nonland/noncreature cards in hand.

Memory Deluge is 2UU and puts the remaining cards at the bottom.
Scattered Thoughts only has one colored pip, doesn’t get worse with cost reducers, and dumps the remainders in the grave.

Unless you routinely get to a point where you’re flashing back Deluge for 7, Scattered Thoughts is the better card.

Well Memory Deluge is enough better than Fact or Fiction that it's the variant played in Modern so who can say which is better. The flashback is actually just super super easy to hit.

Most decks that want a 4 mana draw 2 will be flashing back Deluge fairly often. Having a flashback on your draw card is incredibly powerful, because the second time around you're not paying a card for the effect and the first time around the draw card can draw you lands or cards to extend the game to get you there.

Scattered Thoughts could still see a bit of play, due to the easier mana cost and potentially some specific synergies, but Deluge is a much more powerful card. Even for GY decks, which one you want is going to depend on the deck - Scattered Thoughts is an enabler, but Deluge is a mill/discard payoff.

also unless you're playing a very specific deck, memory deluge will usually put a much better card in your graveyard (memory deluge's flashback) than whatever two cards you bin
