Love the optimism! I for sure will hit my classic 1-3 drop but I'll definitely be playing in this. I wish that card was for everyone on entry, though I'll also never not use the DiTerlizzi original.
Hopefully Grief and/or Psychic Frog eat a ban before November.
Oh cool, I’m glad they did for all the people who like playing with him. Good job by the RC.
Wow I don’t think I’ve ever actually looked at that art before but yeah dang, thats up there.
Probably one of the most horrific card arts ever, still can’t believe this made it onto a card but really glad we get them every once in a while.
Ad Nauseam is another I think of when I’m thinking of gruesome cards.
tl;dr Neheb the Eternal is nerfed. Anything that just says “postcombat main phase” now only refers to the “second main phase” so if you have something creating more then it won’t keep triggering.
Darwin Kastle!
I love this card and played it nonstop during Urza’s block in Ponza.
Best Explore art to date, perhaps second only to the Hildebrandts’ LotR commander art. This is saying something too bc the original Avon art is already amazing.
Art is amazing, those moles are simultaneously frightening and adorable.
That beard is both hilarious and amazing!
This seems fun as a big mana payoff maybe but it just doesn’t seem efficient or reliable enough for most of the game.
It’s a 2 mana draw 1, at cmc 3 it’s probably a Divination, and 4 probably also just a draw 2. Sorcery speed.
It’s then a minimum of 5 cmc to cast the spell for free, and you have to go 4/4 on card types which seems incredibly unlikely. More likely you’d get 2-3 card types so this thing seems at best a 5 mana sorcery speed draw 3 then.
Never truly a dead draw which is nice and the more you can pump into this the more it reads as a draw 4 + cast a spell for free. It just doesn’t feel good enough most of the time.
I might be reading it wrong but I think the first one enters with one +1/+1 counter b/c Gev's ability targets an opponent (not each opponent). The second one would be 2 counters assuming you hit a different opponent, etc.
Interesting that the art had all blue background glyphs but the finished card made it Green/Blue. I wonder if at the time of the art prompt Kumena was only supposed to be blue?
