How many languages are just regular sets released in, out of curiosity?

8. The core languages include English, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified), French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Portuguese. They recently dropped Russian, Korean, and Traditional Chinese.

theyre still committed to wpn events in those areas (and korean and russian will continue to be supported on arena) so my guess is its an attempt to lower printing costs by dropping languages that cost a lot compared to their returns, solely on an actually printing the cards level.

Yeah once each turn would feel like unhinged levels of annoying rather than a clever gimmick, and so far most of the cards revealed have dodged the problems of unhinged.

Then the bonuses given should be permanent, not until EoT. Memory issues sure but it's acorn draft whatever.

If I was in a pod and someone in a different game played this card and asked for applause I would certainly clap, and so would probably the other 5 people in the pod who aren't playing the game and some number of customers and staff. I think the restriction is pretty fair.

Maybe if it was a straight +X/0 but with haste and trample that card is already a turn 4 game ender.

It wouldn't be completely shocking if a Cheerios deck materialized one day and slotted it. It gives you value for your cost reduction but it still sticks to the field if you play it for 0. Usually things that do the former are just 0/0s when you try the latter.

Of course, Cheerios is a Storm deck and probably doesn't give too much of a poo poo about some tokens. But I'm pretty sure this would all be contingent on some other unforseen enablers being printed for the deck to make the cut in Legacy, so who loving knows. Is Sram anywhere near the viability threshold in CEDH?

The mono-W eggs deck in cEDH is Teshar, but it really isn't looking for more do-nothing 0-drops. The other eggs deck is Emry, and she doesn't want this card either.

lmao imagine being at a draft and every other turn some dweeb bloviates for half a minute and then ends with "please clap", this card would end up being t:+0/+0 very quickly.

making it once per game protects the player from themself, and the scorn of everyone in the room.

This is an infinite mana combo with Devoted Druid, since if you turn the latter into a vehicle and don't crew it the -1/-1 counters won't kill it and you can untap infinitely.

Idk if that's any better than existing DD combos but it's pretty easy to pull off.

You know how with some sets, if you open a lot of it, there�s always that one rare you just seem to pull a bunch of? Mine was FoV for MH2. I�m not complaining.

I also have a playset of the terrible white anthem of the same cycle. It will skyrocket eventually.

Yeah, 15 is a crime for it.

Because it's a steal for a four-format all-star.

All star is a stretch. A big stretch. It was a card that was underestimated for sure but nah, its a crime at 15 bucks.

This deck is also very fun and good. I played it tonight after not having to spend 500 bucks on creatures, but instead investing in the chinese economy.

Liliana v is a trap, the last hope is the real deal in this deck and you heard it here first.
