Ok, so Hopper, Will, and Max investigate, Lucas uses the clue tokens to deal damage and Goad, Mike reanimate Will, Eleven and Hopper when they die in combat, Eleven uses the investigate card draw and provide free spells for Max, Dustin give mana for clues, and Max untap Will, Dustin and Lucas for more uses?

I’d rather they rotate every set knock the oldest one out when a new one is released

I think they would be really happy too, with all the money they would make.

It doesn't solve the problem of standard looking too much like it did before rotation.

What? Standard right now Is nowhere like before the rotation.

clues draw cards, treasure adds mana, food adds life... what else is there to token? Probably a super generic 1/1 right?

Mill, scry, creature token creation, discard, damage, temporary +x/+x or -x/-x, counters...

Dread Fugue - B

I'm trying to think, is there anything brackets can do that isn't already done by kicker/split? And those mechanics can do a lot more than removing words. I guess you can fit more rules text because you don't have to out write the rules for both modes.

kicker/split can reproduce the 90% of the existing mechanics, so it's not a really fair comparison.

Future Sighting 2U
Sorcery
Choose target player and up to four target cards in their graveyard. That player shuffles those cards into their library. Look at the top four cards of your library. Put one of them into your hand and the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.



Soulcodeplate 1U
Artifact - Uncommon
~ ETBs with three Omen counters.
1U, Tap: Look at the top two cards of your library. Put one of them into your graveyard.

Whenever a creature card is put into your graveyard, remove one Omen counter from ~. Transform if there are no Omen counters on it.

Final Fortune sees some play in CEDH, but has that kind of effect been playable anywhere else? We've seen a few extra turn, lose after spells in Standard over the years and I don't think I've ever seen anyone actually cast them.

Voice of the Blessed

Creature - Spirit Cleric

Whenever you gain life, put a +1/+1 counter on Voice of the Blessed.

As long as Voice of the Blessed has four or more +1/+1 counters, it gains flying and vigilance.

As long as Voice of the Blessed has ten or more +1/+1 counters, it gains indestructible.

Come to me, better Ajani's pridemate.

Abhorrence posted:

Does Cemetary Protector make tokens if you exile a non-land with her? The phrasing is ambiguous. If she can flash in, eat a creature out of the graveyard, then make tokens on landfall AND when you cast a creature spell, I think she might be good. If she has to eat a land to make tokens on landfall, her chances are much lower.

She ETB, eats a card, and then she triggers everytime you cast a card of the same type or play a Land of the exiled card was a land. If you exile Urza's Saga she makes token everytime you cast an enchantment or play a land.

If you exile a land it’s 2 every time they play a land? That might be just better than eidolon.

Draw conditioned on playing weenies seems on color and pretty fair, it's way better than that horrible "everyone draws" crap they tried. And they put the once a turn safety valve on it so I don't see the big deal.
If I remember well, their current idea is to limit every White draw effect to one card. Maro main problem with cards like Mentor is that Mentor draws too much and too easily.

That's why I kind of miss the longer time span you had back when plansealkers were immortal. Right now the multiverse is just constantly having stuff going on when before you could have like a thousand years of no world changing events.
