Oh hell yes

If the Gruul treasure sub-theme is really strong I feel like Goldspan Dragon may eat a Standard ban. (Obv this card doesn't necessarily threaten that because it'll still need two treasures from a dragon)

If you copy an Ob Nix non legendary token with cat car how much loyalty does it enter with?

Whenever ~ enters the battlefield or attacks, draw two cards, then discard a card.

Whenever you discard a card, target creature an opponent controls gets -X/-0 until your next turn, where X is the number of different mana values among cards in your graveyard.

5/4


why would wotc make people count the different mana values in their graveyard...

Zero.
The casaulty copy has a starting loyalty of X, which is always 0 except when on the stack.

quote:

706.3 The copy’s copiable values become the copied information, as modified by the copy’s status (see rule 110.5). Objects that copy the object will use the new copiable values.
You didn't copy loyalty, and you didn't copy the legendary supertype. Therefore..

because they needed to fill out the card file and they ran out of ideas for a good gimmick for the obligatory cycle of mythic creatures, which this is presumably a part of

Its starting loyalty will actually be whatever the value of X was, as confirmed by the Wizards rules staffers on Twitter. It's similar to how X/X tokens whose power/toughness are set when they're created work - if you have a 5/5 token from Kura and cost a clone on it, you'll get a 5/5 creature.

You can also see this with Jace from ZNR; if you copy one of the tokens he makes with Chariot, its starting loyalty will be 1, as set by the kicker ability creating the token.

one mana and sac a creature token to deal four damage to a creature isn't the worst

def think we're going to see some cards with upsides for saccing creatures and/or magecraft-esque upsides for doublecasting spells once more of the set comes out

the joke is that they'll make a better version by updating it like they've done with some other mechanics in alchemy, but even then those buffs haven't really turned any cards into 'all-stars' just not 'you're going to be as sad anymore if you try to make that deck work'

Isn't it six damage? At the very least gaining six life from one mana has potential

it's six damage if you've done noncombat damage to the creature with some other spell already. on its own it'd do 1 with the copy, then it'd do 3 when the original resolves

Wait I totally missed the non-combat damage part. I thought it was any damage. Yeah that makes the card way loving worse

That card as instant is incredibly playable. Like it would kill Rag, DRC, and Sentienel, plus in its kicker mode (in any sac deck) it can even tag an omnath, pitch elementals.
It also hits planeswalkers, most of the relevant ones don't start above 4.
