So what happens if you copy an Awakened Part the Waterveil?

iirc extra costs like awaken or kicker don't add to the CMC

Edit: also from the rulings for Fork;
10/4/2004 When a spell with additional costs is copied, you don’t have to pay those costs again.

Try Mystic Retrieval if you can find a slot for it, Splendid Valakut is great shenanigans

At that point I think I'd run more E-Witnesses TBH, I'd be too concerned with having Retrieval stuck in my hand with no way to cast it and only one card maindeck that lets me discard non-lands.

This is why Pyromancer's Goggles + Tormenting Voice was so sick back in Origins. That was probably my favorite super standard just from all the janky combos that were available.

This is actually really good. It's going to attack as probably a 4/4 on T4 most of the time... I think it's constructed playable.

Love the design on that card, and it looks very powerful just on its own, not even taking into account synergies. Stuff like Vizier of Remedies, Nest of Scarabs, Gryff's Boon, Decimator Beetle, etc.

GB energy might just want to play this over Rishkar... Or Mardu might want to play it over Thalia. It's a super aggressive card.

Yeah but I mean to say, the deck might move away from the snake if it's not playing Rishkar. Idk if that is the case but this card is powerful enough to ask the question.

Seems like it wants to be paired up with Rhonas and Hapatra, assuming I understand that interaction correctly.

Creature - Zombie Jackal Warrior
Afflict 1

Not terribly exciting except there is a 2CMC gap in most Zombie tribal decks right now.

I don't know if Ammet makes it into current versions of the decks but I think there is now enough left that it might remain a deck after rotation, as much as it will miss Cryptbreaker.

I have Nykthos in my build as a fake Serra's Sanctum. On second thought it might be better as SB material but yes it looks rad in Enduring Ideal.

Also it looks to be unplayable outside of those kinds of decks so it will be cheap enough to play around with on a whim.

Well hello there.

This easily slots into bw zombies, and I think the zombie croc demon is playable but probably not a strictly better option than what's available right now. The downside is real but it lives through most sweepers and makes it easy to connect one way or the other.

Question on Cooperate. Does it copy the "X"
value on cards? If my opponent casts pull from tomorrow using 6 mana can I use Cooperate to copy it, target myself and draw 4 cards?

If this card is playable in standard I will be shocked. It is useful in exactly the scenario where you are both playing creature decks and you are on the offensive while also being an inefficient 3 drop, meaning it's bad if in other situations. It's going to murder you in draft sometimes, though.

The value of X for cards is 0 in all places but the stack, so yes. If you cast Cooperate on a Pull for 4 you will draw 4 cards and discard 1.

i don't think Refuse is especially powerful but it is a cool as heck effect and so I love it

also more copy spells is always cool. so I don't think this card is especially good but I'm happy it exists anyway

Can you use both in the same turn to double the CMC damage?

You can use both in the same turn, but it won't double the damage because Refuse has to resolve before the spell can hit the yard and let you cast Cooperate.

The thing that interests me about this is that, between it and Geistblast, you can have eight copies of "2U, exile from your graveyard: copy one of your spells" in Standard. I'm not sure if there's anything worth doing with it, but any time you can get eight of an unusual effect it's worth thinking about.

Does it actually suck that badly? It occurs the turn you play it so it generates immediate value at least

It actually works really well with Gate to the Afterlife since you can use the latter to loot away the former until you can profitably use the activated ability to bring it back.
