702.141d is relevant to Ethereal Valkyrie, but not to Dream Devourer. Dream Devourer never refers to any exiled cards.

Here's the text from Dream Devourer:

Is there some part that refers to...

There's no rules problem per se, but it doesn't do what it ought to. I'm not 100% sure you'd be able to cast it face-down and once the card is face-down on the battlefield it's a new object and it's...

Thanks for the responses. I'll just wait for the release notes and bring this back up in the rules questions section if it's still unclear.

I am comparing it to morph. Suppose that WotC wanted to print a morph analogue to Dream Devourer. What would the text of that card have to be like in order to work right? It certainly wouldn't be...

Huh, the template is a mess - "...Each nonland card in your hand without foretell has foretell. Its foretell cost is equal to its mana cost reduced by {2}. ..." So - even with the expected scenario...

If a card that doesn't have a foretell ability otherwise gets foretold with Dream Devourer and it leaves play, is the foretold card stranded? It doesn't have a foretold cost without the Devourer in...

There's some other really marginal stuff.

I wonder if the potential life gain on Search for Glory is enough to offset the 3 mana cost. There's certainly a long list of things that it can fetch.
...

That's nice since it avoids graveyard dependence and it works with ritual chains too but there's a host of possibilities like just running tutors (Infernal Tutor seems good) and draw spells, Shadow...

The horn gets two cards for every one that's discarded.

"Harnfel, Horn of Abundance" has an ability with serious potential:

Discard a card: Exile the top two cards of your library. You may play those cards this turn.

That combined with Ovalchase...

I guess the ability does nothing if you have no other permanents.

There's also the repeated tutor angle with stomething like Captain Sisay or Fauna Shaman but it's really slow.

But then what? If In Search of Greatness spends the rest of the game not doing anything because you're not playing 4-drops, then you might as well have played ESG instead. Or, if you are playing...

I was wondering whether there'd be enough to double up the GG enchantment and Pyre of Heroes (the nerfed birthing pod) in standard.

I tend to think the card will be too restrictive to work well in...

... I need to read cards better. I thought the effect was temporary.

If you're ramping with a mana dork you can have the dreadnought come into play as a copy of it, or you could have it come into play as a copy of a creature your opponent controls.

There are online-only combos with Countless Gears Renegade,Dwynen's Elite or Hunted Horror if you're feeling silly. In paper, I think you have to go up to 3cc for optional token creation. There's...

There's the variations on future sight like Conspicuous Snoop. Mostly stuff gets templated as exile and then cast, so "cast from library" is pretty narrow.

It works with my favorite bad card: Ancestral Knowledge. There's also some stuff that goes 5-deep like Lim-Dul's Vault.

It's not conditional on countering like a lot of similar stuff, so it has...

You'd need some other piece to get value from the top of the libary. The interaction with miracle cards is also there.

This card is a little interesting:



The casting cost is a little heavy, but it's still something that could do work in some kind of tribal deck.

Yeah, it's really neat, but between the timing restriction and hitting the table with a pretty small body for the cost it looks a lot like a 'lose more' card for competitive play.

I wonder if they want it to be used with vehicles alongside stuff like Depala, Pilot Exemplar and Sram, Senior Edificer.

Something like Eldrich Evolution seems like it's going to be better than pyre in most situations. Those restrictions on timing, creature type and mana cost are very stiff.

It would take some...
