There's a LOT of good cycling stuff in this set, I doubt its enough to make Drift playable in Legacy again, but once we've got the full set I'll give it a whirl. The same old problem of most of what you want being 3 mana still exists though.Quote:

Stuff being all over the color wheel and W6 being banned are also negatives.
you're missing cycling, its an enabler, you can trigger it on both your and your opponents' turns. first card you cycle each turn draws 2, second one makes mana or pings your opponent for 3, and it stacks in multiples. think about all the cards with "cycling: 1" they've printed over the last few years.Quote:

Fable of the Mirror Breaker and Faithless Looting as well
Riddlesmith might be the best use.Quote:

Gamble gets some upside too. You draw after the discard, so it doesn't affect odds of keeping the card you want, but you do get a card or mana back after.
Edit: Lol Harnfel, Horn of Bounty.
Don't know if this will be tournament playable, but I already see a TonyScapone video in the making.
Both the BW god and Monument do very similar things which are nice in theory but require 3 mana + setup for something that doesn't take over the game.
The monument might be easier to enable but the pay-off seems pretty meh.
AFAIK Containment Construct also never went anywhere.
Maybe if Survival was still legal...
Containment Construct made the rare top8 in Riddlesmith (Killabee or other dedicated players)
However it is repeatable while Monument isn't. 3 mana is also infinitely more than 2 for these storm decks running 8-12 lands.
It seems more like a card for underworld cookbook decks than one for riddlesmith decks. I still think it's bad though.Quote:

Well, that was disappointing.
As expected, white gets shafted again.Quote:

With the same effect on a 1 mana 1/1 without flying in the same set there may be something to this.
Most likely not in legacy though.
If that was from hand or library, it would see play.
Dragon's Rage Channeler, Surveil duals, Consider, etc.
As is it's too slow for the Hollow One/Madness decks or LED decks.
Y’all realize this whole cycle is bad, rightQuote:
