I like that you can saddle Mounts with other Mounts. Sure, it's funny to think about flavor wise but it avoids the issue with Vehicle decks where you can't just put 12 Vehicles in your deck wily nily.

For real. Feels like they're letting loose.

I hope it pays off, playing opponents cards is really cool but you see it so rarely because it's not usually viable relative to playing your own consistent good cards. If there's a critical mass of it here, I'd love to try the archetype in standard.

Someone made a hilarious deck using all kinds of weird effects and Universes Beyond sets. Transformers, Warhammer, Unfinity, The Initiative, Day/Night, The Monarch, and The City's Blessing. I had wanted to do a similar deck, but my idea was green/black - this red/white Stompy build works surprisingly well.

it's gonna be pretty wild having stoneforge mystic (set code spg) in standard, I wonder what cool decks will enable. it would have been nice to have torpor orb (set code big) in standard to counter any nonsense, although oko thief of crowns (set code otp) will be oppressive enough that it probably wouldn't even be played. in any case the extra set cards from the thunder junction packs will be exciting to bring from draft into standard, magic's premier format

I've always wanted to make the original Obeka since she's so unique, but just "load up on cheap value and block the sacrifice" isn't really satisfying enough as the gameplan.

the most we know about jace is about a paragraph when he gets found out to have been disguised as ashiok since wilds of eldraine, and according to annie flash at least he looks very hosed up and still phyrexianized. he's also there to steal a fomori baby for mysterious, presumably evil reasons

It's something that was used in the Doctor Who set, and in that one was basically designed to get more use out of Suspend. So there's at least that.

In a commander deck you can pair her with the Ninth Doctor and Clara Oswald to get at least five upkeeps in a turn.

It is a bummer to get cards and get excited to use them and not be able to. If someone only plays standard, Arena could easily accommodate and generate packs that only provide standard legal cards. Memorizing set codes most players don't even know where to look for isn't a good enough flag when you're on a deck building screen wondering why that sick card you just pulled isn't there.

Alternatively they could add a little sound effect and fart cloud when they give you a card for a format your account has literally never played.

lol, that's the literal first result for "Lion Portrait". Seems like Dalton's just gotten sloppy with her references. This feels less egregious than the other ones, the form is there, but it's not a carbon copy like the merfolk lady. Don't think I'd call this one plagiarism, though it's another person's oil painting, and that feels icky to do moreso than if you just traced a photo. You can probably do this for a lot of mtg art, particularly for the animals I'd wager.

She's probably piecing together in Photoshop multiple images, then drawing over those for the frame and going from there. The baseball player body is probably cobbled from a photo or other work too.

edit: Looking this up, first result is that freemagic subreddit. Man, worst people in this hobby really have conglomerated there eh? Top comments on the plagiarism post:
