In practice what this really means is everything still gets spoiled, but instead of using spoilers to build hype and encourage small-time content creators, all the spoilers come from stores that are unscrupulous enough to open product early.

this is correct, what wizards used to do was release 1-2 spoilers per day so in theory you only had like 40 cards spoiled, but you could go to mtgnews or mtgsalvation and get a complete or almost complete spoiler before the first prerelease

The spell isn't "cast" until you've finished casting it. At which point it isn't targeting a creature you control, because it isn't targeting anything, right?

Targets are chosen before costs are paid, so sacrificing frostling targeting itself, for instance, is a perfectly legal play

the real culprit isn't EDH so much as #mtgfinance, considering that godsire is probably garbage even if you build around the theme.

my guess is sac to gain 1 life

it certainly cannot be anything powerful because it is a +2 on a 3 mana walker

It's flashback-as-a-creature. You can cast her directly or send her off on an adventure (sorcery/instant effect) and cast her later.

e: In her case she 'wrangles' some bears rather than killing them I guess

wrangles bears while standing on a bear rug, with a bear head mounted on her wall, a bloody cleaver, and at least 3 bear traps

I'm assuming the idea with food is that it's very easy to create and then you feed it to your guys and that using it to gain life is basically a fail case

turn 1 goose turn 2 oko and you have a bird of paradise :v:

Doubling Season seems like it would be great for Eldraine flavor

it works too well with walkers, it's never getting a standard reprint I think

Does anyone know what those giant numbers on the wotc spoilers mean?

no, because it has the supertype "tribal"

Elyv
Jun 14, 2013



Imo it's closer to kicker because you have two options when you cast it and that determines what happens later

Obviously not a perfect analogy in this case, this is one of the few mechanics that isn't just a subset of kicker, split cards, or <blank>back

You're not wrong, but $600+ as a budget deck is still extremely OOF.

To be fair the fetches and the karakases are nowhere near essential and that's probably more than half the price

code:
"Carvalhandia Ranger // Bring Back"
[G/W][G/W][G/W][G/W] // [G/W][G/W][G/W][G/W]
Creature - Elf Knight // Sorcery Adventure
Bring Back

Create two 1/1 white Human tokens.


Carvalhandia Ranger

T: Creature you control get +1/+1 until end of turn. 
Illus. Mitchell Malloy	2/2
this seems extremely mediocre

Wasn't it like, Skullclamp or something where the design story was, "we cut a card at the last minute and the Christmas party was starting up downstairs. I had to throw something in its spot, so I made an OK equipment, gave it a downside, then went to the party. The set started printing the next week."

nah, the story was that they had a really bad version of skullclamp, and then made it cheaper to cast/equip but reduced the toughness it gave and people at wotc still had the bad version in their heads until after it had been pushed off to printers

Vaah posted:

So based off the wording of Wicked Wolf, you can't activate that ability if you've tapped to attack, correct? Having "Tap it." on a separate line of its own has me confused.

You can; that's part of the ability, not the cost. So you get there and it can't tap because it's already tapped, but that's fine.

Tulul posted:

Adventures aren't split cards, the article that revealed the mechanic said they're treated as only a creature card everywhere except the stack.

This does have the odd interaction (like split cards used to work) that you can presumably Bloodbraid Elf into Flaxen Intruder (CMC 1) and cast Welcome Home (CMC 7) instead, while you couldn't cascade into Beanstalk Giant (CMC 7) and cast Fertile Footsteps (CMC 3), but w/e, every Magic mechanic has odd rule interactions.

this is correct
