if dust bowl, sunken citadel, and thorn of amethyst are all legal in timeless, a lovely lands deck might be possible once life from the loam gets added

Karlov Manor had a lot of ideas without a real heart to it, which sorta lets it down. Most of its major players don't really engage with its central mechanics outside of 'Proft loves him some clues', so it feels weirdly unfocused as a set.

Also, pulling up this again with the previews, seeing if we can fill the gaps:

quote:

Some of the planes with legendary Villains in this set: Dominaria, Eldraine, Fiora, Innistrad, Ixalan, Kaladesh, Kaldheim, Kamigawa, New Capenna, and Ravnica

Dominaria and Ravnica have plenty, but as for the rest, from what I can tell we have:

Eldraine: Eriette, probably (doesn't have a revealed card yet)
Fiora: ? (Selvala's here but not really a villain)
Innistrad: Olivia, Gitrog, Kraum, Rutstein
Ixalan: ? (one of the Vaultborn Tyrant prints looks like Zacama, maybe)
Kaladesh: ?
Kaldheim: Magda
Kamigawa: Satoru
New Capenna: Jolene?
Unmentioned, but Tarkir: Vial Smasher

If you're gonna count Oko as from anywhere it's Eldraine, but I think he's kinda transcended that backdrop to the point where you probably wouldn't tease him as a 'legendary villain from Eldraine'.

Okay, so the unknowns are basically Fiora, Ixalan and maybe New Capenna depending on if they consider Jolene a villain.

Dumb rules question: if a spell with flash ends up getting plotted, can it be cast at instant speed? Plotted cards get cast as a sorcery, but if a sorcery somehow had flash it would be able to be cast at instant speed so I'm not sure which rule takes priority.

Well Steel Leaf Champion is GGG for 5/4 can't be thumped so this is vaguely within that power range. Obviously GGG is harder to cast than 2GG though.

For cube purposes it’s a really strong unconditional removal spell.

For me it’s just funny cause bitter triumph was just a huge card released for black and whites removal is just so casually stronger than black these days. Blacks identity in vintage cubes is not great these days

No. And so if something like a counterspell gets plotted, it can just never be played.

No, part of the rules text is, "cast it at a later turn as a Sorcery."

Yeah it's free, but they aren't allowed to cast it until the next turn. And only at Sorcery Speed.

Ya, and also on a later turn at sorcery speed so it’s a nice speed bump. The general extra cost from exile seems relevant in todays magic too

It is also great in multiples, with drannith magistrate. Also if you hit a counterspell with it - they just lose it.

is there a good tool for scanning your card collection?

Maybe something that can help estimate which card is worth what?

Honestly considering selling my cards I'm not using that are worth a lot, I have the decks I want right now, and I figure I can buy the cards I need for the deck I want later.

Dragon Shield's app seems alright
https://www.dragonshield.com/card-manager
It scans cards, can keep track of your collection, and you can pick which marketplace it should pull prices from.

It does sometimes read a card as a different printing than it actually is, and you have to fix it.
