Sounds like the problem stems from being stuck with integers of wildcards for card acquisition, but doubling the price is unreasonable. Maybe they could use coins (or whatever the arena currency is) on top of a single wildcard?

We've gotten mana and cards with treasure and clues so I'm sure it's life.

flavorwise, a +1/+1 counter fits about as well imo

though, remember that gold became treasure, maybe food tokens are the new clues, renamed to make them a bit less restrictive flaovrwise

Food tokens are probably going to be an artifact that does very little - they're a +2 loyalty ability on a 3-mana walker so they just can't be very good in terms of incremental advantage, and it looks like their primary purpose is to be something trivial to trade to your opponent with Oko's -5.

Lifegain would fit the bill (alternatively it's a very good PW)

this looks like its probably just a split card with an extra fancy frame

the way i read it, you can (only? maybe not only) use the spell with the creature in play. else they would've made it look more like a traditional split card, imo.

is it a failure of design that we can only speculate to how adventures work without the instruction manual?

maybe the regular editions will have reminder text?

Sampatrick posted:

It's not going to be literally a split card because we just had split cards so it's got to be something along the lines of forecast or a one time activated ability or something. It probably can't be forecast because then you could do it multiple times and the one Mana card would be a mythic uncommon that's almost unbeatable.

yeah i was thinking how you'd limit multiple uses if it was forecast-like. you can't, since even ignoring other memory issues, you could have multiples in your hand.

Her insta is NSFW but man alive, she is good.

If she's in this set, it'll be because she wants to be and because they showed her the money she deserves. I'd love for them to give her a real showcase card like they do Seb. There's no way, though.

She did say she's up for returning (a few years ago in an interview). Probably a question of money.
