Food will be like Treasure and have its attributes defined by the rules of the game rather than the card. That makes it kind of annoying because I can't tell what Food does. It's probably an artifact to work with Oko's other two abilities. Or it could be a creature. How rude of WOTC to change how creating Treasure works so they can use the technology on cards without reminder text.

The +1 can target any creature or artifact and has an unlimited duration, so you can elk your opponent's darksteel citadel or whatever, as well as making your tiny dudes or mana rocks into emergency elks.

And her ability let's her kill enchantments and artifacts, but according to our latest science bears are neither of those. that's why she dies to destroy an artifact, which is what food probably is. She died for that porridge.

Food so far has been on a planeswalker that elks it and a goose that uses it for mana. Seems alternate uses are the order of the day.

mossyfisk posted:Terrible gimmick format idea: Gideon the Oathsworn would almost be playable except for Gideon Blackblade still being better, even after the discount. Ral, Caller of Storms has a draw as a +1 and Arc Lightning as -2, which might make him better than Storm Conduit for certain lists at the same CMC. Dovin, Architect of Law would be actually good at 4 cmc because that + is a hell of a stabilization thing and he'd follow up Time Raveler really well. Liliana, the Necromancer at 3 cmc would be a worse Last Hope but that's still way above most things.

Framboise posted:Oh, I read it as "there's something wrong/bad". There is, they don't do effects that draw then do something based on cards in hand as a nested triggered ability. Heartwarming Redemption and Commence the Endgame in WAR just have it as part of the ability. Hell, this ability as a sorcery, Master the Way, just has it happen immediately. As written, would give the opponent a chance to respond between the draw 4 and the burn for... some reason. Perhaps because the person making this fake doesn't know how to template things properly. Also the typeline looks stupid.

Tulul posted:It's all one ability, so drawing and dealing damage are separate events, but your opponent has no chance to respond to them. They template cards that way all the time. None of those are abilities like Master the Way, or the two cards in WAR that draw and do something based on the number of cards in your hand, which don't use the "when you do" phrase. This change in templating would be sudden and increase the length of the text and not really clarify anything, so why would they do it? ELD already has a change in template that is there to clarify that Enchantment Artifacts aren't counted twice, Champion of the Flame didn't get +4/+4 from Aura Equipment attached to it, this just makes it clearer. Sorta like the change in tribal pumps that make Immerwolf and Howlpack Resurgence have different printed text despite doing the same thing. What does the "when you do" clarify? quote:Also, it was confirmed to be real at some point a few days ago. Who confirmed it? Where? How? I can say Foegod, Master of Iron was confirmed to be real, but what's the source of that? I mean, it's a real .jpg, not a phantom of a .jpg.

This isn't hard to figure out My research completely missed Hypothesizzle. gently caress. The WAR examples wouldn't need to because they don't target anything. Goddamn. I still think it looks stupid but this company did change how colorless mana worked in the middle of a block once so looking stupid doesn't mean much.

They're split cards in how you should evaluate and strategize with them, but in rules terms they are creature cards with an odd alternate mode that uses a different card type. It's not an alternative casting cost like Bestow or Overload, perhaps so a creature without flash can be paired with an Instant, so Cascade can snare it.

Sinteres posted:Choose one at random? The card pumps out 2-3 damage a turn, sometimes as a ping and sometimes with lifelink. The tokens are incredibly pushed for a 4 mana enchantment with no further investment. Once Merriment is on the battlefield it goes to work for you. Compare, say, Gideon, Ally of Zendikar or Garruk Relentless who make vanilla 2/2s, or Ajani, Strength of the Pride who makes Ajani's Pridemates as a - ability. This makes much more offensively-minded tokens, as they all have haste and another little bonus to go with it. And it lacks a Planeswalker body which means it can't be killed by Questing Beast in its neverending quest to kill all Teferi. Sarkhan's +1 is already a better wincon for Jeskai PW decks but this is certainly up there.
